The look of the world
- The films I had in mind include obviously Ridley Scott Blade Runner (1982), with advertisements projected on swirling mist and fumes; the films Elysium and Chappie, in particular the militaristic combat exoskeletons which featured in those films and the old Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare game.
I imagined the voidships as a single consciousness, the Heighliners from Dune but controlled by one solitary mind akin to Iain Banks Culture novels. The Underdistrict is inspired by Necromunda.
The drone sword (I was really hoping players would use it...) is inspired by the Lucifer "Infinite Sword" thing from Dante Devil May Cry 4, which summons endless hovering red needle rapier blades; the combo moves of the character Sasha Ivanoff from Anarchy Reigns (animated gif pic related), who summons similar orbiting blue ice nanomachine crystal spike things; and also Nier:Automata, I really liked how 2B wielded her levitating hover sword without touching it, and how it reassembled back to her side afterwards in a shower of sparks.
