Oni2:A Storyline/PostSummary1: Difference between revisions

| Vehicles are easy to code, but of limited usefulness; would rather drive a "battle hardsuit from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xnKPegu0SA Bubblegum Crisis]" using [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sOC8gi2Bik ZOE 2]'s controls. Laments lack of artists. Affirms that he has done, or will do, the other things that geyser listed, except for allies and disguises. Overpower mode should be gauge-limited, not time-limited.

| Likes idea of DBZ-style power-up scene. Clarifies that he meant fighting alongside Mai. In response to main char. being weaker, maybe (again, referencing DBZ) the newer generation of Chrysalis reaches maturity faster. Likes wall-running idea, suggests using it for counter-attacks a la Double Dragon [I couldn't find video of that, but here's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy59xjF21Rs#t=2m44s a video] of Double Dragon III, a game that predated Street Fighter II -- some of these moves look pretty familiar ^_^]. But wall flips would be hard to do without being able to see behind you. Suggests that Mai's hair grow when she transforms, and float in the air.

| Hadn't realized Hikari was an SLD, that explains the face. How tall is she compared to Mai? Just read [http://www.haibane.de/oni/ owldreamer's proposal] for an Oni 2. Likes it, but it's adventurey, not actiony; should be a separate game, maybe with Hikari and Mai glimpsing each other throughout game and meeting at the end. Taking place 20 years after Oni is what he had in mind, too, but not with Mai dead, but in fact the same apparent age as in Oni.

| Reiterates that Daodan is a separate entity that replaces the host. Points to mention of its "unearthly" abilities. It could be a "sentient cancer from outer space". From "another dimension"... wherever Screaming Cells and Mukade's Devil Star are from. Chrysalis is what results when this alien lifeform comes into contact with one of us. Its cells are like stem cells that don't lose their totipotence and which split rapidly and want to replace other cells. Smarter than cancer because it doesn't kill its host. Perhaps Daodan comes from superior, immaterial beings who want to evolve material life to serve some purpose of their own... references Asimov [is referring to "Does A Bee Care?", one of my favorite Asimov stories. Here's [[wikipedia:Does a Bee Care?|a crappy summary]] of that short story, but you're better off reading the real thing than spoiling it for yourself.] Muro's monstrous transformation was a result of being unstable (noting the talk of "stability" with regards to Mai in the story); he developed too fast. Daodan has to gather info about host by finishing an initial transformation before it can settle down and adapt at a "standby" rate. Aura in overpower mode is visible aspect of the original immaterial Daodan being, which continues to guide the process. Unlike host, it's immortal. Responding to TTK, says that there are three or four prime symbiotes (counts Barabas and Mukade). Asks why owldreamer why Hikari should simply re-use Mai's animations. Is his Syndicate leader a Daodan Imago? Asks for opinions on cel shading.

| Asks about "air dispensers" in [[:Image:GuidoArt-Gimme.jpg|Guido's art]]; would WCG even bother trying to help the "underprivileged masses"? Separate threads may not be needed.  

| Agrees with almost all of geyser's ideas concerning Mukade. "I think he could assume a number of very different (maybe conflicting) roles, even in a single storyline. I also think that his relationship with Konoko should be kept ambiguous in any case." [Posts picture but link is broken. I think it was an earlier version of [[:Image:GUIDO_Mai_Tandem_2.jpg|THIS]].]
