But your cookie is so huge!

And in the end, i'll probably drop it in one of the many varied biomes. Probably some sort of swamp biome with any luck.

Or that one with the creepy eyeball trees, it's like Dali went on some sort of drunken terraforming rampage.

I also love how when you first get to a planet it's saturated with a specific color, but then your "eyes" adjust and it sort of fades to a more normal look.

Am I the only one a little saddened by this? Something finding a planet of the exact hue I want just sounds great.

The effect wasn't really obvious to me. The two planets they demoed were as different as night and day in hue. Gotta agree with the streamchat that the second one looked a bit puke-ish :P

So what species are you guys going to play as?
I myself would try every one of them at least once, but I am probably going to play an Apex most of the time.

All of them of course, but I find myself really digging the design of the gas cloud people (who's name I still have a hard time remembering). So probably those guys.

Novakids!  But I heard they probably won't be in the beta, so if I can't play them I'm not sure what I'll pick.  Probably a spur of the moment choice.

I think it's been confirmed that Novakids will most likely not be in the beta release. I have no idea what I'll play if that is the case...probably either the birds or the humans or the robots. Actually, I think I like the Hyotl. Not because of their looks, but because they have awesome Oriental-style architecture.

Glitch. I can either don Shakespearean garb and RP as Calculon, or wear plate armor on a character MADE OF PLATE ARMOR. That's twice the plate armor! If I'm lucky, their singing voice will be a chiptune soundset.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Why? So far the races are purely cosmetic anyway and they ALL are the same skeleton.

Heck they didn't even give the Chimp people tails.

Probably either the Avians or the amphibious-people (forgot their name). Although I may mod in dragon-people (for singleplayer) if modding ends up being a thing.

I will be crushed if modding support doesnt end up in the game.

This is when I imagine the hilarity which may happen if certain things are glichy. Such as targeting your own body parts to eat.

They were a stretch goal from the pre-order, so they're a graphical afterthought. The goal specifically stated that the extra money from the stretch goal was to hire new people to do all the art for them, so no current art team members got delayed. In short, they got started late by a new team that had to be brought up to speed many months (a year? more?) after the game began development.

Two things:

One, the races are mostly cosmetic but each have special bonuses or abilities (which might be based on armor, IIRC).
Two, chimps (and other apes) don't really have tails.
