Ok, this might be a stupid question already answered, but I'm curious. Instead of just saying "On a distant planet life has been created from volcanic ashes." Will the Microbe Stage have an intro? An example would be Spore's Intro: youtu.be/9Jx1zecOnrw?t=59s . And if yes, when do you guys plan to add it? I know it's not one of your top priorities right now but it would be pretty cool to have an intro like this. |

Personally I think the origin of life on the planet should be up to the player. If we go with panspermia, some players will be upset because they wanted life to form by chance at the bottom of their planet's oceans, others may want life to have been created by a God or an ascended race, etc.

I was asking if there will be an Intro, or in this case after your point, intros, for example if you were to choose life to start from the ocean, will there be a cinematic to show it. Or will the game just say life was created and leave the rest to purely the players imagination? Sorry if I'm babling nonsense, I feel like this is a little unclear. |

My well received suggestion was to have randomized cut scenes, each depicting the various theories of life from unlife: Miller-Urey lightning, gradual accumulation of organic compounds, panspermia, etc.

But do we really want to have to make several different versions of the cut scene? And by 'we', I mean increasing the workload for capable developers. I don't we need to pander for every possibility. By the sounds of it, we're already going to have very complex options. In my opinion, we should just have one opening cut scene, and just keep it vague if we're afraid of offending people.

Maybe have it be like a "Welcome to Thrive! Here's stuff about the game! This is your species! This could be your species in a bajillion years! This could be the fossilised remains of your species after a bajillion years! You're in control now...(!)".
:cyclid:

It's not supposed to be exactly what it's supposed to be like. And if you're on about the mere context, it's better than nothing, I suppose. :cyclid: |

I wouldn't mind making it once I get to my animation classes. |

I am just trying to learn how to animate (well more like re-learning as I was kinda good at blender / Maya once ) so maybe I could try to create a cutscene sometime (not too soon though as I forgot almost everything )  |
