SHINAN'S PROFILE

I'm generally belevolent. Of course I also live by the rule that "Good is dumb" which have been present in some stories of mine. Usually any character that is "The Hero with a capital H" does get a lot of shit, so I guess I have something against heroes. (Though being mean to those isn't exactly a novel idea. But it's still one of those that I like. You know... The Dungeon Keeper effect. "Those pesky heroes, always in the way trying to save the world.")

What other games has noteworthy music in your opinion? I ask this so that I can steal from it make up a good playlist for myself.

There are a couple of tracks that have made my gaming playlists. Apart from the regular "themes" and regular music (like music games or otherwise having real tracks in games... Listening to the country station in GTA:SA while roaming the countryside with a motorbike was pretty fun for example).

Deionarra's Theme in Planescape Torment. It's pretty early on and suddenly the music changes and (spoiler) the ghost of Deionarra appears and it's all musicy and I'm all wtf and stuff like that.

Moldy Old World in Vampire Bloodlines. A nice piece that plays in the Giovanni Mansion. I actually roamed around the area a bit extra just for the music.

Going underwater in Commandos 2. There was just something special about swimming around trying to get away from nazis and diving underwater and suddenly this weird and wonderful music came over me while all the sound effects were muffled. I was in a different world. And then I had to surface before I suffocated and back into the WW2 action.

The overworld theme in Final Fantasy VI. Alright so everyone knows about this one but I still remember when I first stepped onto the overworld in FFVI after doing some Narshe(?) fighting I was "WTF IS THIS!" I stood still for a while just listening to the music.

That's a couple that have stuck in my mind. Themes are of course also great (bubble bobble, monkey island etc.) but they aren't in the actual gameplay any.

Are people allowed to collaborate?

That is a good question. No, it won't be fair to the people who are soloing it (a lot of people). Obviously being able to double the work force puts you at a high advantage for a small timeframe. You can have 'some help' with your project like ideas or resource finding, but ultimately you'll be entering as one person.

Not to be overly nitpicky and weird about it all but what counts as soloing? I mean is it okay to use graphics someone else made or use music/sound someone else made? (I'm bad at graphics and I probably couldn't do music even if I tried)


And now I've got my game idea. Zombies. Definitely.

I hope game achievements will be downlplayed because I can see how they can be very dumb indeed. With all the one-battle demos with achievements like "used attack!" "used magic!" "used items!" "used the massively impressive interactive junction of death (MIIJoD) system!"

Of course the achievement metagame can be fun. But still I hope it won't too much in your face...

I have to admit I would prefer if it was Donald. Because Mickey is such a boring character :D (And in my world Mickey and Donald don't occupy the same universe)

But the art style does look fairly sweet. The style seems very "euro" ("French comic book Euro").


But still I can totally see Scrooge, Donald, Huey, Dewey and Louie adventuring in a world like this. Mickey on the other hand. Not so much... He's so... traditional.
