these are suggestions by necromaniac:
[QUOTE]Allright, If that isn't already taken, I would love to take a shot at the caracter creation. I've got some pretty funky idieas about the look of the Undeads and the Widersacher.
And I could try out for some Texture work and the colony, allthough Im a virgin to the first one, and I'm not to good at the second one.
And now for my Idieas. Just stop me if I go overboard or get to pushy, but these are my two cents, witch you can take or leve based on your tastes.
First, the year. While the date (2299) Is realistic in terms of the storyline, I think it's a little bit clisé to have it take place at the end of the millenium (It's almost always XX99 In Sci-Fi). I whould recoment changing it to.... let's see..... 2276, maby?
Second, The name of the "Entity", Widersacher. Does a Horrible abomination deep from with in the bowles of the cosmos need a name? And, If so, what Is it's purpous? Did the cultists name it? Is there a special meaning to it? Personaly, I whould just scrap the name, and make "It" remane nameless. I think It adds to the fear of the unnown.
Thirdly, What kind of a futuristic look are you trying to get forth? The "classical" Futuristic-depressionalist look, were everything is rusty and scrappy (like in the Alien movies, and almost every Sci-fi movie since), or the more realistic, hard-sci-fi look. No, I'm not talking Star-trec. What I whould whant to get forth is a clean, cyberpunkish look (Not the tipical "dark" Cyberpunk, but a wery bright and realistic one)
Let slook at the tecnology today, look at were it's going, and multiply it by ten. Then we get nanotecnology, smartsuit (I'm thinking the sybiote-spiderman-costume, just much more changeable and customer friendly, for the main caracter. Perhaps even made by Nike :)), pocket-dimensions (you know, to carry all the stuff you'l need :rolleyes: ) and
Intigalactic holograms (your partner). A messed up AI is always good to.
We should also display the hardships of space. The side-effects of deep-space travel and the hard work of colonizasing come to mind (I'll get better on what I meen In a later post.)
And Finaly, mystique. Were did the cultists come from (My suggestion whould be they were all originaly a part of the early mining and terraforming operration going on on Athena VI. They were digging, and then they found a strange, huge cristal, embodyed in the rocks, and then strange things begain to happen....). Who Is the main carracter? What is his motivation. (I suggest he's a sepcial EPS sencitive expendable investigator, who is sent there to investigate before they bring on the bigg guns. He's bein memmory-wiped, and strictly trained for those kind of operrations, for unknown reasons (I'll explain my suggestion better in a later post). Being ESP sencitive, he can witness sthe ghosts of the past, and other sanity-breaking effects, In order to get closer to what happened.)
