I know... there's a lot of stuff going on. Or did you mean the Lovecraft references and all that.... That's just @Geschosskopf and I throwing ideas around about Sanny, and ghosts in general. Either way, I'll be glad to try and un-circle your brain if I can.... as long as it doesn't give anything away. 1 hour ago, Geschosskopf said: "The Tomb", "The Lurking Fear" My problem is all of Lovecraft's tales are favorites of mine... the only problem is trying to figure out in which order... 1 hour ago, Geschosskopf said: Whenever I hear "space", "ghost", and "story" in the same sentence, I think of this....

Just Jim 14,317 Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) I had to go back and re-do a few screenshots from this morning. Not afraid to admit this one.. a hint for other writers... I had to go in and make a couple quick switches to the persistent files and turn off Jeb and Val and any of the rest of the Platypus crew's badS status that need it... I know, they're normally BadS's... but let me tell ya, it does not look right having them drive into a blast zone like ground zero grinning like idiots! I'll switch them back after the next batch of screenshots are done. Edited October 7, 2017 by Just Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a difference between being BadS and being stupid. As we say in my business, "Anybody who is not at least a little bit scared is too stupid to understand the situation." There are a lot of wannabe BadS firefighters who put "No Fear" stickers on their helmets. So I have the above adage on posters throughout the firehouse Edited October 8, 2017 by Geschosskopf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And in my case, I'm not trying to simulate fear, I'm shooting for... disgust... I think that's the right word. And grinning like a BadS idiot does not look like one is disgusted... So here's a teaser screenshot I did last night that's much more appropriate "Ewww... Gaaaa...." Emiko cried in horror at what she saw before them... "What did monster Kraken Queen DO???

I ran into a couple small glitches today I had to work around, but nothing game-breaking... In fact I can still use a couple of the screenshots from one of them. But between the glitches, and me being a pain in the butt about all the little details... ... I'm not quite done yet... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just Jim 14,317 Posted October 11, 2017 All right... I got a HUGE amount done again today... and had a lot of fun doing them! At this point I'm about 90% done... I think. My only problem is trying to decide where to end the chapter. I also have a ton of shots to choose from, so I may have enough to split it into two chapters... I'm not sure about that yet. Whatever the case, I see no problem getting the rest wrapped up tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll sort them and then decide. The good thing is unlike that last huge chapter, I have a pretty good place to split this if need be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(hopefully not violating any forum rules here.....) I'm not sure. Kerbal biology varies from writer to writer... and honestly, I hadn't really thought about it. I will say this, under normal circumstances I would agree with @Geschosskopf that Emiko is getting too old... but having gone back and then forward again in time, while in cryo, and having her genetics scrambled in the process... I'm not sure how old she actually is... it's an interesting question. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
