14 - Metempsychosis Presentation Concept

Dan

on Dec. 30, 2009

Because there's never enough "beside the scene" of Metempsychosis. It was originally going to be written in text followed by a mixture of sprites and drawings. But I soon realized that it was going to be very difficult mixing small, pixelated sprites with much larger, drawn figures so I chose to ditch the idea.

The story was much different in the first concept as well. Instead of world wars, it was going to be a simple Earth vs aliens, followed by machines (Led by a single human controlling the AI)joining in. But it was lame (Not to mention unnecessarily uncreative) and couldn't find myself being committed to the draft.

So then I kept refining the storyline until I found something I felt confident enough working on. And believe me, I still have the same story structure in my mind. Since I probably won't get around to finishing it anytime soon, I guess I can settle any curiosities, if any even cared to foster one for it. Heh.

The aliens are still in, but not the central plot, not even a side plot (As a matter of fact, they'll be out of the picture soon). The machines have been cut entirely save for the AI idea, a simple, automated information network without a speck self-conscience (Unless stated otherwise). The rest I can reveal in future descriptions.

Oh, and happy new year. Now go get drunk already you lazy bums. As for me, I don't need alcohol to get drunk. I can just simulate it.
