Influence, Genres and Themes
Gunman Chronicles, taking place at an unknown time in the distant future, contains many themes, most notably the design focuses on Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, Steampunk, Futuristic and Western. While the game takes advantage of these in many instances, it still has a wide variety of influences. The Gunmen's Federal Starbase, Aeronautica, and the Facility at the Ferrin Moon harbor a vast collection of Techno-Futuristic and Cyberpunk themes and architecture, although they also seem to contain many designs, most notably textures and architecture, that bear striking resemblance in appearance to some of the works of the Swiss artist; H.R. Giger, who is best known for designing the Xenomorph creatures for Ridley Scott's award winning film Alien and its sequels. Many Xenome creatures in the game also resemble Giger's work. Parts of the Gunman Chronicles world seem to contain influences from novels such as Dune.

Famous quotes containing the word themes:
“In economics, we borrowed from the Bourbons; in foreign policy, we drew on themes fashioned by the nomad warriors of the Eurasian steppes. In spiritual matters, we emulated the braying intolerance of our archenemies, the Shi’ite fundamentalists.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
