My Egg Idea

NeXuZ

<div class="IPBDescription">Dont know if posted before..but anyway..</div>Well now with the new engien and all.. i love to see more done with the eggs.

When someone is upgradeing or morphing you should see something moveing inside the Egg, something alive.

And when light hits it from a sun light, lap or flash light it should cast some colored shadow with the shadow of the life from inside or it.

Well the shadow it not really need, just give it a more organic feeling.

But still it would be fun it look at someone upgradein or morphing and loos your track of killing it when you are looking at the life from inside moveing around.

i think this would add some nice eye candy even a possibility for an easter "egg"?


(sry for my language its a litte rusty atm).

I thought about that as well. I also toyed with the idea of different egging types for different creatures seeing as how it was weird for a giant onos to suddenly pop out of a small egg a fraction of its size. This could lead to selective egg killing in the hive area. Although I'm not sure its an entirely bad idea (though it seems so on the surface). On the other hand, if the marines are getting into the hive area as is, there was a failure someplace else.

NeXuZ

yeah i still like my idea, but that with diffrent size of egg seems idk, but see it like this, you work for your res and use them to evolve into onos, then everyone focus there firepower on that "big" egg then on the hive it self.

Maybe it it can be worked out with diffrent HP on the eggs so an Onos egg sould take longer to kill or something alike.

Still love my idea atm.

everyone loves their ideas, the little idea you make out with is very good, and sounds kinda easy to add, i hope, and the different egg size/health might be a must.

NeXuZ

yeah, been thinking about the size/health eggs and it should work...

But seeing more life to the eggs give them a more organic feel and if added with size/health they should even look different and show what the alien player is evolveing into. (upgrading, like silent, more armor etc should use the same egg).

If u a an onos getting an upgrade, you should be an onos egg with an onos shadow, if you're an onos turning fade(IDK y u would) you are in an onos egg that slowly shapes like a fade egg.

like morphing from a onos egg into a fade egg. not that bad of an idea...

(sry 4 any misstype on this reply, sense im typeing frome my PlayStation 3.. i wish ns2 would come on ps3/console.)

ryknow69

WTF?! PS3?!

that's an example of what the egg does when u enter it, if changing aliens, you start off in normal egg and change into that alien, if upgrading, you just stay the same egg.

NeXuZ

you know what i think both my idea and yours with the evolving should work.

I mean when you look at the egg you see the embrio inside that looks like a baby ailen of what aline you where at first, like say fade and then it evolves in to onos baby.

But now the shadow should work in this i have ni idea, my with dynamic light is should work.. well they can try it out.

NeXuZ

i was looking at all the video cast again (mainly to see the female human model in one of them) i got the idea of when your inside the egg you should be abole to look around inside the egg and the walls in side should show vaines and pulsing or something alike.

I mean like now in NS2 you have only one template that is static, dont move when you look around. Hell your inside of the egg and you should be abole to move around inside.

Just read through the thread (hey it rhymes <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />) and I think your idea is cool. Eggs that morph and change shape and size to suit the type of alien you are playing as. Although the ability to look around whilst inside the egg sounds weird. Isn't it whilst you are in a egg you are forming so the brain isn't fully turned so that you don't feel the pain of your body twisting outta shape? Another feature the egg could possibly have is premature escape so say your a little alien embreo inside a egg. __

But a marine suddenly appears and starts attacking you. Then say you had the ability to pop out, run away and find somewhere quiet to turn into a cucoon and continue evolving peacefully?

The thing is, the mouse isn't locked down anyway so you might as well give them something to look at, and rather than the *entire egg* moving, instead the creature forming inside it should move, so that you can move up or down left or right 360 degrees and you wouldn't have a single static translucent image, but instead a very wide range that you see just that part of (depending on which direction you're facing), and preferably is itself animated, and also specialised (internally and maybe externally) to the life-form being evolved to.

I like it

if the egg is round in the middle moovement of the kahara inside is easier to do nice without twisting it in impossible ways(if the eggs where oval it would get hard to animare an alien turning 180°)

with some green transparent yellow transparent and green untransparent parts this gets realy funny

the alien inside could moove like every other scinn but still in repeating mooves like brething arms going up and down and such stuff

if there are unly few holes in the main, eggserounding, untransparent structure you get mystery effect.

newb marine comes to an egg and is only thinking: cant wait to explore whats happening inside. boa so misterious so interresting... huw its still looking toward me
suddenly the evolved skulk jumps out of the egg and bites him into parts

Eggs should be able to +use movement chambers.
