Brent Pease, who first formulated the idea for the game, was told that it meant "ghost", which was the word he wanted for the code name, being inspired by [[wikipedia:Ghost in the Shell|Ghost in the Shell]] as the project was. As later explained by Hardy LeBel (the story lead) [http://carnage.bungie.org/oniforum/oni.forum.pl?read=19851 here], in writing the story he tried to incorporate the meanings of "ghost" and "demon" to justify the name, now that it had ended up being the title under which they would actually release the game. (Of course, if you've read the rest of this page, you know that neither of those words are good translations for "oni", but give the man credit, he tried. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]]). | ||
