'''About Me'''<br>
__NOTOC__
Nostalgia-ridden Iritscen randomly decides to check out Oni one day, after getting back into Marathon and discovering the whole AlephOne deal has been going on for a decade without his knowing. He finds a community of enthusiastic people has reverse-engineered massive amounts of the game despite lacking any assistance from Bungie, etc. Seeing their valiant efforts, such as preparing to release a Seventh Anniversary Edition mod package that improves gameplay, he eagerly jumps in, trying to help while not exactly knowing what in the heck he's doing. This is his story.

*Improving textures and 3D models
[[/HoverTableDemo]]<br>
:My main focus lately has been improving the look of the key models (you know, the major characters). There are two basic issues with models that can exist. The first is a discrepancy between an in-game 3D model and the art as drawn by [[Lorraine]]. This is most noticeable with [[:Image:Poly Mods-Griffin Notes.png|Griffin]] and [[:Image:Poly Mods-Muro Notes.png|Muro]]. The second issue is simply a lack of polygons; the models were not bad in 2001 but can use some work to keep them looking decent in 2008.

:- Trying my hand at writing a user-friendly visual-oriented Oni modding tool, perhaps along the lines of [[OniTools]]
 
:- General re-texturing of Oni's environments at higher resolution
 
:- Poly-modding other, less-important characters to make things look consistent
 
:- Scripting new scenarios
 
:- Modeling a new character, animating new moves for them
 
:- Top secret stuff (hint, it involves assembly code)
