Yes.

Why would that be ditched? The time bubble was rather popular, and the background plot we voted for did indeed involve a conspiracy.

It's that little problem: apart from being a major obstacle to our escape, it is somewhat detrimental to the overall plot, and does not give it meaning.
Your call. :/

Conspiracy, yeah, okay. But we only introduce hints of it. Maybe only reveal it in the great sequel.

are we still discussing that?

I thought the main plot was already settled.

About the image, it's gonna be png or jpg? the latter is not very suited for sketches, it's mainly for pics with many textures and details, and each time we open it it'll get more pixelized and messy.

EDIT: I installed paint.net too.

I'd say we put a png in a google drive

Wouldn't it be more convenient if we put it here or on the wiki?

We shouldn't be. We had a very clearly agreed on the main plot, the nature of the conspiracy and if I recall, the nature of the field that keeps us captive.

Why? Hadn't we agreed that revealing the conspiracy would be part of our motivation? Besides, a substantial backstory is good fot a game. I'm not against things being explained over time through a lot of sources, but I see no reason to limit it to subtle implications.

Png indeed.

Are we letting this slip off the main page again?

i thought I had replied, but obviously not. Anyway, I'm super busy at the moment, but I can probably squeeze some work in if necessarry. Shall I create another wiki page? I mean, if so, we're just going full circle back to this:

Page for what?

Boingo · Post by **Boingo** » 08 Jan 2014 02:21

PCG -2

Sorry, I should have been clearer.
I was meaning that the plot-line of the conspiracy (by Vortex) should not be thrown at the player but the implications of information (I.e. Letters like "considering humanitarian grounds, you reckon we should do this?") should be enough to cause a fair bit of political damage.
Maybe I've said this before, but we need to balance the information given-even if that means chopping off bits and bobs to fit the theme.
Speaking of that, what theme of puzzles are we going to have? It will make (for some of us-probably not me

) the job easier.

And how does the 'time' aspect of the bubble contribute to the plot in any way? I forget :/
