If I can get it working, it will be 1000% easier to just make a real short video of... idk... how to make a kerbal wave... something like that, then try and write it all out. I'm curious why you don't use some other recording software. I think open broadcast software (obs) supports that. Though its probably kinda confusing? Im curious how it works currently though for you. Do you have the Xbox hooked up to it or something or is it some windows thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealKerbal3x Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 @Just Jim I have a question for you concerning the story: Is Emiko a name you made up or is it a randomly generated Kerbal name? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. Neither. Emiko is named after Emiko Yamane, one of the lead characters in the original 1954 Godzilla, played by Momoko Kōchi. If you go back to the very first chapter, you'll find this at the end: When it was finished, Val whispered thru the radio, "Name it Emiko, for my grandmother. When I was a child she told me stories of how she once saw a real Kraken.... She would have so loved this place..." and she began to gently cry... I actually had no clue at the time Krakens would play a vital role in the story... That part was a reference to Emiko And Godzilla... to this very scene, in fact: Edited June 20, 2018 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, except for the Kraken, but, eh, who's gonna miss her? The Krakens. Also people like me, who can't stand anything negative happening to characters. Seriously.

I understand... I have gotten really attached to my characters, and sometimes it's hard for me to hurt them... But at the same time, if they had it too easy all the time, there'd be nothing to write about. So it's a sort of balancing act... I have to put them in all sorts of situations, sometimes really dangerous... or else there's be no happy endings. I posted this earlier on the "Writers" thread, but there's no reason not to re-post it here as well. It's a short interview with the master himself, Mr. Stan Lee, and it's very much on-topic, because I try really hard to follow his advice when I write Emiko.

What about the part where (at the end, when the janitor is sweeping up) the kerbal on the moon is hit by one of the chunks of the asteroid (and doesn't know it's coming until it hits him) Sorry for being kinda off-topic.

The only part I couldn't do accurately was the RCS... considering using @SparkyFox's mod to get those old thrusters back... that is, if it has those... perhaps it doesn't. Edit: Apparently, just dropping the old part files in a newer GameData and changing the name works too... even if it is a little weird I know I'm a bit late, but what part have I missed? the rcs thrusters? Ohhh ok, I see what you mean, sorry, I honestly didn't relies those changed, i'll push out an update today Edited June 27, 2018 by SparkyFox Wrong quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Hey everyone. I probably should do a quick update. I'm sorry I haven't been on here much, but I promise, I am working on the next chapter. But this week has been nuts, so it's going slower than I thought. More than anything I'm just trying to think everything out right now. I left a lot of new questions I need to roll around in my head, besides how Badie will recover... questions like how will the "Acting" Grand Kerbal react to this new turn of events??? And just where is Sanny the ghost??? Edited June 30, 2018 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hidden from prying eyes, Sanny the Ghost sped off to Ground Zero in normal Form, feeling a craving for Positive Energy to "Recharge" herself. Once within 5km of the Deadly Super Fatal Don't Go Here Unless You Want To Be Fried Like A Bug With Heatstroke On An SP-12 Structural Panel zone, she began to glow like a... um... glowstick, and she began playing, just like a little... um... err... Mudkip (it's a Pokémon thing)? Yeah, Mudkip. "Wheeeee! Ahh... the positive energy is so completely overpowering! I love it! Wheee!" And it's probably a good thing that no-one was around to see her, because they would have thought she had lost the few marbles she had. 8 hours ago, Just Jim said: These would be some of the most obvious choices, agreed.
