Some Equis-related HiggeryJiggery · 2:19am Jul 10th, 2015
Hi all,
So a couple of things on the Equis front to keep everyone updated:
Equis II: General Status.
With Tatsurou updating the Interlude at a nice and steady pace, this allows me to take extra care in ensuring Chapter 1 of Equis II is absolutely perfect. I'm having ToxiClay completely rip apart the first draft because I want every single one of you to be captivated and hooked by said first chapter, which will happen to be the prologue. My endgoal is to make Equis II several times better than Equis when it's all said and done. Realistically, Equis II reaching a potential visible acclaim (i.e. upvotes) equaling or surpassing that of Equis I is a bit of a long shot, but I want this to read better regardless... I want the general consensus to be even more positive than the first.
Potential Equis I Extra: Phazon Zombies.
Yes, you read correctly. I was considering writing one last classified (omake/extra) chapter for Equis I (an AU scene) and dropping it unexpectedly but I'm not so sure if that would be in good taste or not. Since Equis I is technically complete and has been for a while, there's the notion of 'let sleeping dogs lie' and what not. As for what said extra scene would entail, you can read the title and I'll leave it to you to infer exactly what that might mean. The question is, would you all be possibly interested in something like that? There's no guarantee of this because some things just might not work out, but if the great consensus is 'yes,' I'll see if I can achieve my initial vision. If the general consensus is indifferent or 'no,' then so be it.
Equis II: Themes and Focus.
The first installment of this series had a general theme: Breaking down walls and unlocking the Magic of Friendship, keeping in line with the overall theme of the Show as well as staying true to the Metroid Series. The latter entails keeping up with canon as much as humanly possible as well as retaining the focus of exploration, power-up hunting, and boss battles. Several game mechanics also found their way as well.
Equis II will be slightly different. What I mean is that I intend to stay true to both Series as is expected, but the focus will be shifted a bit more from exploration (there will still be plenty, but there isn't a HEAVY emphasis) and boss battles (same idea), and more towards 'general objectives.' The focus here is even more heavily weighted towards Samus as a person; her personality, psyche, etc. Conflict will be very heavy and the whole idea of the 'one-woman army' that we know Samus for will be reined in a bit to make way for massive well-trained and equipped armies clashing.
Like in Equis I, there will be different storylines, the majority of it following Samus and the usual cast while rest follows CV (now just Crusader) Squad. We will be exploring more character development of these eight individuals as well.
That's about everything I have to say so far. Do let me know below if you have any questions, comments, or concerns as per usual. I'm hoping to have several chapters already backlogged and ready for release once the Interlude is done.
Sounds great
! Also, you could start a story that would be a collection of vaguely related one shots based on Metroid Equis. (P.S. Read as: make a Fluffle Puff scene, DANG IT!
)
Zombies?
