Ex-project worker gives more details about Starfield
Ex-Bethesda Nate Purkeypile, that founded his own studio (Just Purkey Games), offered some details in an interview for the medium PCGamesN. Purkeypile worked as an artist at Bethesda for 14 years, and has been involved in their projects since Fallout 3 until star field. Although there are details he could not reveal, he confirmed the number of workers involved in the project during the interview.
“The scope of this project is the main thing that’s different, because, you know, Fallout 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4, it was a whole team. Fallout 76, it was two mostly, we had a little help from Montreal, but mostly it was the Austin and Maryland studios [Bethesda] work together. But yeah, Starfield is a much bigger project, it’s like 500 people or something on the team, whereas I think [Fallout] 76 was maybe 200, tops.”
He also answered a few questions on the real extent of the title, the thousand planets to explore and the procedural planet generation system. Without going into the details of How will this system work?Purkeypile was asked about this.
“I can’t really get into the technical details,” Purkeypile says, “the map of [Fallout] 76 is almost twice the size of Skyrim or so, and it was a lot of work for people. , but yes, not at the level of the scale.(…). Realistically, it’s a fraction of that team that actually works on the planets.”
