<div class="IPBDescription">just wondering</div> I heard from people this game was based on the alien movies is this true.

    Based ? No. At least part inspired ? Yes.

    Inspired by alien? Yeah... the rest is up to the crazy mind of flayra <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->...

    And why do you even check the "poohole" of aliens *disturbed*

    on the note of poo holes, the onos is so big, it can take 20 rounds of a shotty and not do anything to it.

    Most maps and textures are based on alien movies.
    See aliens 1 + 2 and you will find a lot of textures, doors and hallways seen in ns (ns_bast and ns_nothing especially).

    Most of the gameplay, ballancing, tactics and general ideas are based on Starcraft (umbra, cataclyst, cloaking).

    ^^


    it draws from aliens, and from starcraft [devour is one you forgot] and a whole bunch of crazy imagination from Flayra


    as for the poopholes, I really just play the game instead of wondering <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yeah I've played the game for 2+ years and not once had the desire to look at the skulk's anus. I guess some people are just curious...

    Anyway, on the subject of gorge healspray, I always used to laugh when I saw that sprite.
  • dumbnewbdumbnewb Join Date: 2004-02-14 Member: 26532Members
    Err you mean the bottom of the gorge mouth tentacles looks like a ****? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Seems to me like Flayra was playing Starcraft when he thought of this game. Spores, parasite, etc...
  • Some_tall_guy1Some_tall_guy1 Join Date: 2003-05-22 Member: 16601Members
    Well what should he call it if not spores or parasite? EVIL GAS OF DOOM and I SEE J00?

    Please note that the aliens are not insects [Alien series] or reptiles [StarCraft/StarTrek], but mammals.
    Dog = Skulk
    Pig = Gorge
    Bats = Lerks
    Human ( <span style='color:yellow'><b>!</b></span> ) = Fade
    Rhinos/Hippo = Onos
  • Commander_JAGCommander_JAG Join Date: 2002-11-05 Member: 6956Members
    More like a Rhino/Triceratops=Onos.

    Fades remind me more of mantids than humans, just lacking the large abdomen :/
  • CMEastCMEast Join Date: 2002-05-19 Member: 632Members
    Except that maveric was trying to come up with mammals instead of reptiles or insects...

    The funny thing about this is that I play in a Hong Kong Sever (Because I live in China of course)

    And since Chinese people are not really good in Chinese, they give each creature chinese codenames which are related to the actual objects

    Skulk=Dog
    Gorge = Pig
    Lerk= Bird
    Fade= Muscle Man (Don't ask me how)
    Onos=Cow Cow (the repeated Cow makes it sound cute)

    So I was quite surprised that the codenames are closely true <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    as is the answer to everything else...


    The game is based on NANITES!!! :-P

    I really like the story of the game, mainly because it makes sense. The idea of Nanotechnology, a Commander, and the Xenoforms are all just cool. I don't know what it is, but I just like the story line of the game <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The Fade = hydralisk or that alien in Aliens
    The Onos = ultralisk
    The Lerk = mutalisk
    The Skulk = zergling
    The Gorge = that gorge-like reptile from original HL
