Thread 713620926

Whenever games construct alien designs they are all modeled after the human form. This is incredibly lazy as the main point of games, like all media is escapism. People want to see the boundaries of human imagination stretched and theres 0 proof aliens would have biology identical to ours. Not to mention its incredibly narcissistic and vain to just model everything after our own kind down to apperance and social nuances.

Play Star Control 2 or Underspace then

The human body is the pinnacle of perfection. Whats wrong with making the races reflect that?

The whole point of escapism is fucking alien babes, anon

>>713620926 (OP)
I don't want to fuck amorphous monsters, I want to fuck hot babes (and feminine enough men), simple as.

>>713620926 (OP)
Nah I want sexy babes with exotic skin colors, not gross space bugs or whatever you think are "creative"

>>713620926 (OP)
>theres 0 proof aliens would have biology identical to ours.

There's also 0 proof aliens wouldn't have biology identical to ours.

butts and boobs are just globs of fat

>>713620926 (OP)
its kind of funny that monster fuckers always complain about it, but the truth is any alien life sufficiently advanced probably does resemble humans, we are the only life that evolved to be capable of building civilization for a reason

We are made in the image of God.

>>713620926 (OP)
I understand this is lorem ipsum to give the appearance that coomerposting is on topic but it's exponentially more time-consuming to animate the further a creature deviates from human anatomy. Call it lazy or whatever but would you rather have the budget for hundreds of manhours spent on animating a playable polyp or adding content/refining mechanics?

you can actually have both hot space babes and more weird aliens in the same game. In fact I think you should. Even mass effect got this

I would marry the giant sentient pile of rocks alien if it had a pretty voice

Not really, boobs have a lot of mammary tissue, where do you think milk is produced in the female human body?

That's you that's how DUMB you sound.

Are there any children Twilek? Just out of curiosity

>>713620926 (OP)
They do that with monsters and comedy relief. When you want a relatable or sexy alien, you make it a cosplay that could show up on Star Trek.

God is actually made in our imagine. Because we keep giving him humane attributes which is retarded

Humans are the only sapient species that exist, so there's nothing else to base them on.

>>713620926 (OP)
It's not that far-fetched. Maybe the bipedal form with upper limbs free to manipulate objects is the ideal form for sapient lifeforms which leads to convergent evolution. Like carcinization, nature on Earth has invented crabs at least 5 times.

>blah blah blah
Xeno sluts are BVILT for human breeding

twileks are kinda ugly
you can see they were originaly just women in wierd hats painted blue

>>713620926 (OP)
It's for rigging.
We have to want to fuck them.
If the alien worlds are similar to Earth, it's feasible life develops in similar ways. We became dominant for a reason, logical a similar form would conquer similar planets.
Star Wars in particular has pretty unique alien life, so this complaint isn't very valid. Mass Effect is more egregious.

They kept the 'ugly' part of aliens and not the 'cool' bits. Should've just kept going until they were just Star trek blue aliens if they really caved on having them be overtly alien

>>713620926 (OP)
I don't really care about this discussion anymore. This gets brought up constantly here. Personally I'm just here for ayylium pics.

If the only difference between a human and an alien species is just skin color and only skin color, I'd rather the alien just be called a new future sci-fi race of human or a genemodded community or something. At least throw some weird body parts on them if you're gonna call them aliens. Maybe I'm too autistic

>>713630885
No, it's just one of the random nonsense lines they spew. They'll always end up attacking you at the end of the conversation except for that one case where you have to talk to them.

I wonder if the humanoid alien species in star wars share a common space faring ancestor that spread across the galaxy and evolved in different ways, or if it’s more a case of convergent evolution. I’m sure it’s a little of column a and b, but I wonder just how much it is of each given just how similarly many of their bodies are structured.

>>713631553
>Star wars have dozens of non human-like aliens
Not anymore, focus is now on humans and humanoids because it's what sells.

big ol ayylmao tiddies

She’s 14 years old you sick fucks

>>713631991
convergent evolution is more plausible. Than random mishmash of tenacles/claws/blob organisms

>>713632345
But I know what a human looks like, and when you show me a human I know it's a human and not an alien

>>713631991
Most non human aliens either look like animals or things that wouldn't be able to survive on their own

for the mycon that's probably something like this

>>convergent evolution can occur for two species in entirely different ecosystems to the point where their silhouettes are indistinguishable and their genitalia are compatible
Yes, this is possible and in fact has happened on planet Earth multiple times with multiple lower creatures that, while they look nearly identical, are different species. It would mean that we wouldn't be able to reproduce with the space babes without advanced gene splicing, but that's a different problem.

>>713620926 (OP)
I like to think that the human form is, or is close to how evolution would naturally progress on some habitable planets in regards to ending up with a species capable of civilization.
Give me sweating and arms with opposable thumbs and the planet is now mine. Apply these concepts to FTL travel and you're going to stumble upon at least a few similar species over literal billions of planets.

I’ve been on a Star Wars kick for the last couple days so I bought this game. What am I in for? Any build recommendations for a first playthrough?

>>713634681
Make sure you don’t overlevel your non Jedi class.
There’s a level cap of 20, and going too high early will make the start of the Jedi arc a slog due to lack of force points/abilities

>>713626617
I did and I liked it. The ending zone felt a bit rushed and game got repetitive at that point. Also it was very easy to miss party banter by walking too far and triggering a new scene.

1)You are likely incapable of cognizing true alienness in that particular sense.
2)These are permutations of humanity to aliens to lust over, intelligent design involved is... questionable.
3)Alien is a term that was first used for other humans.
4)Creation of human form from scratch both by its own and within the context of reality as an item around humanity and of which humanity is a part of requires one or another form of hyperintelligent or divine entity by meaning and artistry within.
5)Elder Gods.
6)Sci-Fi stories and the reason why some say sci-fi genre is cursed are in effect, the rest follows.

>>713636740
Religion never died to begin with.
Theologically existence of aliens isn't a concern even to Christianity. It's even less of a concern to animists, theosophy or eastern occult.

>>713623961
There might be a few differences due to atmospheric differences but yeah, assuming evolution is the same process across all of creation, they'd probably do a convergent evolution.

>>713624016
On the internet no one knows you're a beetle

>>713637429

>>713637816
"No reason to assume" is a classic phrase of the arrogant, the ignorant, the controlled and that sort of people sitting in a bunker keeping them away from potential extinction paths.
Not in all cases even on Earth, even in actually linear cases are things so simple, to say nothing about some oddities. Moreover, mistaking long-term coincidences as facts is an issue.
Simply put, one can't keep evolution in a box for long unless IT itself feels like it.

>>713620926 (OP)
so what kind of alien do you want to see? a 50 foot long space whale with insect legs? a flying blob? talking cats? how could such a being even evolve and not be outcompeted much less develop space travel? if you just want to see weird creatures without logic you're talking about high fantasy with guns not scifi

>>713620926 (OP)
Convergent evolution, it is likely any space faring race would look generally similar to humans if their conditions were similar. Simply being bipedal does not mean we are modeled after humans.

I hate this meme so much. I hate mow much this gets repeated by "OH MY SCIENCE" retards. It's crabs, and their closest crustacean relatives that are crab shaped, the exact types of species that you would expect to be look like eachother. It's not any animal that just randomly turns in to a crab, it's not even any crustacean. It's CRABS and their closest CRABLIKE relatives.

Humanoids are the default.

Oh shut it. The meme about carcinization is that all animals will evolve into crabs. That's retarded, we can both agree on that. That wasn't my point, I just wanted to point out that convergent evolution is a thing.

>>713639737
The fact that we look the way we do has more to do with evolving from a four-lobed fish, rather than being efficient. An absolutely optimized form in every way would look terrifying, not human at all.

>>713620926 (OP)
accurate ass

>>713639854
Humans are already optimized and efficient. "Efficiency" doesn't mean total or this one particular efficiency.

Exactly what other body shape would have the dexterity to create intricate industrial tools and machines while also being able to type inputs on an interface? We are also surprisingly compact creatures, we are thin and tall and able to bend and squirm into places.

Homo-Sapiens literally evolved to grab things and use tools. You can have all the brainpower but it's useless if you don't have the body to make and use things.

Being bipedal and having hands is a requirement for civilization. Without either one your lucky to make a spear let alone a spaceship.

>>713622552

>>713647175
because deep within me an urge to stick my dick in things exists. i can justify this urge if its vaguely humanshaped

the main problem is the fact that the females of these races are always just generic human beings with a different weird skin color and forehead prosthetic. if they just made them as uniquely shaped it would be cool but its always apparent that they just want to appeal to coomers that lack and fear imagination.

>>713633732
it's probably more like this. All you need is limbs that can manipulate objects, and the environmental physics to do it efficiently. If the creature is on all fours (or all six+) they need a way to free up at least two of those limbs and upright is usually the way. And, a center area, a nucleus for the entire organism, is usually going to be in a safe place, the chest or on a pivot on the top of the body to be able to look around while expending less energy.

Yes, efficiency is important, because if there's a populace of 2 million and they go through an extinction or famine, the most efficient energy users survive. We are what we are because the proto 6 limbed creatures didn't survive extinction, so now, everything has 4 limbs and a head.

So... humanoids are essentially the most efficient, and would be the most common body type in aliens.
