Bethesda exhibits a rough-hewn look upon Sci-fi RPG Starfield. The terminology 'NASA-PUNK' was cast-off to aid Starfields overall aesthetic. As per the director of Starfield, Todd Howard this game is based on mostly grounded setting and exploration than its predecessor Elder Scrolls series. Even though Elder Scrolls is predominantly known for its fantasy creations, developers cracked up a captivating name after its basal contemporary production procedure. Istvan Pely, lead artist of Starfield shortly briefed Xbox Wire “Early on in this project when we were trying to initiate the overall aesthetic of this game, we coined the term ‘NASA-Punk’ to describe a sci-fi universe that’s a bit more grounded and relatable", alongside a realistic makeover from the technology of today to the future.

Lead animator Rick Vicens remarks adding up 'punk' to arbitrary words doesn't necessarily bring about thematic clarity, thereafter the team had aspired over making a holistic view out of it. NASA-Punk had been easily adopted by the art team and kept them up in their rhythms.
Bethesda exclaimed Starfield as "Skyrim in space" in the denomination of a space-filled universe enlargement, conflict, exploration, factions to join or oppose, and so on keeping intact the real-world authenticity. Howard quoted that he did visit SpaceX headquarters in 2019 for inspiration which would make him rework how it might be in Starfield's flight to the 1940s, "It's quite dangerous to go and explore" he noted alongside.
