More NPC race concept art.

By matt | September 7, 2017 |

We released some new NPC race concept art on the wiki and forums a couple weeks ago, and I realized I forgot to update the blog and site!

The Eckin – Blind, underground quadrapeds.
An Eckin.

The Oescans – A poor, largely agrarian people.
A male Oescan.

The Oteel – An insectoid slave race of the shapeshifting Fatar.
A female Oteel.

The Atarsids – An arachnid race.

See you there!

The Starmourn wiki is open!

By matt | August 10, 2017 |

We’ve just officially opened the Starmourn wiki, which will be our official repository of information about the in-game Starmourn universe! There’s already hundreds of pages there about Starmourn, and we’ll be adding more in the near future, though for now, we’re not going to open it to editing by anyone but team members.

Crucially, I think, is a Timeline I put together of some major events in the history of Starmourn. Much of that info (though not all) already exists on the website, but it’s scattered through different pages, and it’s probably been pretty hard for you guys to build a mental timeline of events in Starmourn’s history. You’ll find it on the main page of the wiki.

I also added new art for six races that I haven’t shown before:

The Der’em
A Der'em.

The Fatar
A Fatar.
The Zinari
A Zinari.
The Vendal
A Vendal.
The Sa’hak-ren

The Rek
A Rek.

Possibly the greatest sci-fi book I’ve ever read

By matt | June 8, 2017 |

Just finished book three of the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy, by Chinese sci-fi author Cixin Liu. The first book was very good, the second (which had a different translator than the first) I didn’t like quite as much, but oh my god, the third book – Death’s End – was absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough amazing things about it, from the ideas to the scale of the story.

I’m still processing the third one, but there’s a good chance you’re going to end up seeing a couple ideas from it in Starmourn in one form or another, even if most of the book would make for a very bad game universe for reasons I’ll not elaborate on to avoid spoiling anything.

Here’s an Amazon link to The Three Body Problem, the first book in the trilogy. If you love sci-fi, go read them!
