walked? in snow? wasn't it cold and slushy?... erk.

she has quite anime-ish eyes, now that i come to think about it.

the thing about mutation is, most of them are fatal. so is there high infant mortality or what... i suppose that'd be the whole cancer thing...
are these natural mutations or do they have a degree of genetic engineering ability?

[Nico]

most of them would be fatal, but even if mutants are commonly dispised, health care applies for them too, and as genetics have improved, the treatmlents are more efficients.
Mutations are the result of various natural catastrophes, chemical factories and nuclear powerplant breached because of that, and Earth atmosphere has been saturated with bad stuff for some time. Atmosphere cleansing is being processed thanks to genetically engineered plants that absorbs and converts all that crap. A varient of that vegetation is used to terraform Mars and make its atmosphere breathable, along with a lot of machines ( long process, even by 2071, when the Vodians show up, Mars atmosphere is still not fitted for human needs.

[icespeed]

there's random stuff in the ground, too, that might cause mutation.

[Nico]

Well yeah, air, food, etc. I was generalizing anyway, thing is, mutations in OS are much, much more common.

Nice renders Nice....umm..since I don't have time to read trough all the pages...waht's this all about?

I see coll space-fighters, some renders of a girl and soe mcha..and some background information...are you modeling this after some anime? Or something you're coocking up?

[Nico]

You're joking, right? You're lazy to read? Well I'm even more lazy to sum up. If you don't wanna read, that means you're not interested enough in the thing for me to bother.

It's not that I don't want to...it's that I can't...my time on-line is very limited....

but granted...I will try to read this trough...

Mmh, of course, the pic is quite crappy, so it's not obvious, but you have to realize this mesh is over 250 000 polys

Trashman, read starting from about where I've posted the OuterSpace logo, a bit after that, that's when I start describing the universe and stuff.

Venom: You should really give him a break, threads like this are an absolute mess to read through. Coming in towards the double-digit end of things tends to mean you've either gotta read through endless lines of crap, restatements, retractions and modifications to get a couple posts' worth of information, or you've gotta ask someone to sum it up. I'd recommend you put this stuff all in one place where people can read it better anyway(i.e. a full background on your page), it seems worth keeping track of...

[Nico]

Yeah I should do that, I started to do that actually, but as you just said, OS, as it is now, and it will still be for probably an awfullylong time, is constantly stricken with restatements, retractions and modifications.
For exemple, some calculum made me decide that Meiya was better off being 9 rather than 12 ( as I anounced she was supposed to be by 2054 ) because that would make her be 26 in 2071 ( which is more convenient to me ). You can imagine the nightmare of keeping any kind of background page updated with something that keeps changing...

Anyway, if you put all the tiny details aside, the thing as a whole is not ground breaking if you take originality into account, s I can resume with:
Mankind goes to space, clonizes mars, independance war with mars, aliens arrive, war, other aliens arrive, war, etc.
And yeah, it's an original stuff, not drawn out from a manga ( tho there's obvious inspirations from many anime series, but also movies, books, hell, there's even inspiration from some of my mum's cooking tools for some designs ).

[Stryke 9]

Don't I know what that's like.


Still, it's usually better to get it all down in one spot, helps organize the **** for yourself, too. I find heavily indexed stuff works best, sorta modular writing, so that I can just take out entire sections I'm not happy with and snap in a new one, and have it fit almost flawlessly.
