The idea behind this media project is to create alien animals by taking the principles of evolution for the speculative evolution of life on a distant exoplanet, rather than the traditional routes. Resulting in more abstract creatures that can benefit from the handcrafted detail in many ways to create a better version of alien life for video games and other entertainment media. The added coherence between individual designs of various creatures and also interspecial similarities, due to their common ancestry, may enhance the immersion and therefore also boost the overall experience of the players.
This would be beneficial to most, if not all upcoming productions, especially the simulation and exploration genres of games. These genres are, more often than not, populated with the most passionate and hardcore gamers in the market.
The media product will be a proof of concept level, with creatures walking around to demonstrate the results of using evolution to create alien animals.
