“Creating the tribes was one of the most time-consuming and expensive parts of the Horizon development process. We had to create style manuals for each tribe–ranging from 60 to 200 pages–and make countless artistic choices in designing the tribes’ physical traits, attire, accessories, dwellings, etc.
In developing the various tribes, we worked with anthropologists to understand how tribal cultures form. We read literature, talked to experts, listened to presentations, and did significant research to understand how real-world tribes are formed and what creates unique tribal cultures.”
They were creating distinct cultures, not just throwing face paint on a nameless NPC that just stands there and whacks a mallet all day.
