Would it be worse if he was a clone of Mace Windu?

I just had a terrible thought... I certainly hope they don't do this, but what if Finn is related to Mace Windu? ... grrr

Luke Skywalker is not Kylo Ren, I don't think. Could Luke have gone to the Dark Side? Possibly, but I don't think this is the case.

If we can figure out the camera collision on walls... I may have to try my hand at new areas

Yeah, makes sense. I appreciate the thought you put into that explanation. I eagerly await the results.

Ah I wasn't sure if you were going to apply any sort of effect to the ithorians' skin.

With appropriate shaders, I presume?

To be fair, none of us were paid to do this, so it is technically an amateur project. But that guy is just being an asshat.

Problem solved:

To illustrate, imagine you had to rewrite all of your PERL tools so that they could natively run on Windows.

0_0 If it's so simple, why don't you do it then? Argh, people are ridiculous. Thanks for sharing!

Exactly why I'm still on the fence about even having her draw her lightsaber.

Are you talking about omitting the Nihilus attacking Sion segment? I felt that wasn't necessary. Instead I chose to focus on the fact that Darth Traya is still alive. Well, tried to. That is a great point. I'd been kind of stuck on what to do with establishing shots, but now that you mention it, it makes sense to take a little time to let the user visually see what's all going on. A few pauses in the conversation would go a long way as well. They aren't terribly close to one another. I think the angle I used makes them look a little cramped though, can probably change that. I'm still experimenting with Visas' role in this scene. Originally, I had Sion respond to her, but it seemed out of place. A simple thing to do would be to show her lightsaber power off at least. Maybe that's the route to take. I think whether or not I will use a hard cut or a fade out depends on the final music selection. This set a more somber tone for the scene, so I could see how using a fade would be better. If I decide to go for menacing, the hard cut is probably better. This is good feedback though. I have more to think on as I continue to build up the scene.

Iteration 2: Still some tweaks I need to make with camera angles and whatnot.

I'd love to see a reskin of the Trayus Academy, to make it more "ancient Sith academy"-like. I'd also love a Nar Shaddaa reskin. The current available ones are too busy with all their textures.

B-b-b-b-but... KOTOR II skyboxes!! :/

Clearly I bought the coffee.

This scene is literally the same scene that is used in Exile007's Genoharadan mod. I will use Nihilus' speech sparingly, and probably will omit the Force Lightning and Sion drawing his lightsaber.

That is also an option, I just have to nail the transition down correctly.

I'm not sure. I might actually do two versions Cold open + Star Wars opening Cold open + New Title I can do a mockup of how those would look, leading into the tutorial, but I also want to tweak the actual cutscene so it's closer to what I would actually use for an intro.

Not really the greatest illustration I could produce, but I wanted to have a little fun with it. The version I had in mind probably has more close-ups and probably uses music from the game.

If it could be presented in a way where it represents a wish-fulfillment of hers, it could be effective. But beyond having fight a "phantom" Darth Nihilus, I can't think of a way for that to make sense. Not to mention she likely has no idea what Nihilus looks like

I believe Atris wasn't actually present at Katarr. She lured the Jedi there in hopes of drawing Nihilus' attention. There will be no captioning Darth Nihilus. He would be mostly silent, except for when his Sith hissing would be necessary. No captions. Already concluded it's not a good idea. The only context for which I thought it might originally work is to immediately establish that Sion, as sure as he was that he had eradicated the Jedi, had not actually extinguished all the jedi I was thinking of just having them in battle. The problem is that in-game battles are hardly the most interesting...

I've watched it 3 times already

HOLY BONGOS
