Royce: Flood ~~of emotion~~
Grant: Healing ~~of relationships~~
Sybil: Fetch ~~your hate~~
Asher: Void ~~your existence~~

Sybil's function is Help and that hurts in a weird way like its such a cute function name

This isn't a bad place to try and start that. You're surrounded by interested community! Do fan wikis post contact info? There might be people there interested in starting something too

Red is a very interesting character within how she persues what is important to her and has a lot of strength within that and her individuality, but we don't see a lot of her outside of that I think because she is the player character and because her actions are very much dictated by the circumstances she is currently in

Hm going by appearance perhaps, but like we never hear him speak for himself. I think if we're going from what we here of his vision and position, something grander and maybe elegant would make more sense.

He's also concerned if that was the right direction

Lemme just copy the actual thing cus i was tired and might have misrea-STOP

#

< !-- this one is rather inconspicuous, even nonchalant, so very timid in its disposition, though, its appendages, that is to say its legs, they will need a closer look, why are they not rigid? fleshy almost, appearing natural in shape and texture, which strikes me as very very odd. the process, it is big on self-improvement, that i know... but i do not know if copying the way we mill about, the way we wander, i don't know if that qualifies? in any case this is a newer model, has to be, able to traverse denser environments undetected and quite literally lead the way for its associates. it is a bit like an explorer! royce --! >

I wonder if Cluckers are such an innovation despite being ground bound bc Cloudbank has so many levels. Maybe the airspace gets crowded with utilities like antennas etc which make it hard for things like Snapshots to maneuver

I like to think that the process didnt have heartbeats until they noticed the humans do

Also only some process would have those, like man and younglady

Maybe those dont exactly have hearts, but only heartbeats because the process couldn't quite figure out where the pulse was coming from but it felt important enough to copy

tame sinew Oct 22, 2019, 7:05 AM

re: fetches -- i always felt as if there was an implication that the process was indeed defending itself from royce's interference, which would be in keeping with the idea that the process doesn't "like" royce the way it likes sybil and/or red

#

royce himself seems pretty vehemently resistant to entertaining the concept that the process is more than a tool to be used as he (or whoever has the transistor) wishes

little pagoda Oct 22, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

Wasnt he the one who wanted to put them into a spotlight though

#

And also, from his notes, he doesn't seem mean, not enough for the process to have to defend themselves against him so aggresively

#

Yes, he doesn't trust them, he put in some defensive systems and thats mean and probably didnt help the relationship but also understandable

#

But jusf like

#

I dint think thats enough to create something like fetches to take care of it

#

< !-- first signs of aggression i've seen from the process, real aggression i mean, all of them a bit temperamental really, but this? need to keep a healthy distance, develop disincentives, make the terms of the relationship abundantly clear. i don't yet know what to make of this, what is the process trying to protect itself from with something like this, me?

#

Yeah okay i can see what you mean but i still hold what i said

#

(and also Royboy seems to know they like short games which is 1. Adorable 2. Means he couldnt be 100% mean to them i think)

jolly radish Oct 22, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

i don't believe that he was! royce isn't inherently a bad guy at all, but i feel as if his defining feature and greatest weakness is that he's profoundly self-absorbed -- not even in the egotistical sense (though maybe that too) but almost in the... idk, solipsistic sense?

#

he lives in his own world, and other people are just... visitors in it, really

little pagoda Oct 22, 2019, 1:24 PM

Mood, Royce

jolly radish Oct 22, 2019, 1:29 PM

#

and i do think that he is resisting the notion that the process possesses anything like actual sentience because the implications alarm him

#

so idk i guess that's more what i mean, he's fascinated and awed and delighted by the process, but also has never seemed to particularly acknowledge or care for their intelligence beyond his own understanding/desires for them

#

and soon as they start to evolve beyond his desires for them he gets spooked and locks em the heck down

shadesmile that is a much more endearing take on his relationship with the process than mine, so it's good

little pagoda Oct 22, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

Sybil sees the process, immediately falls in love, and encourages royby to try and get to know them and get closer to them

#

Or he sees her interact with them, finds it fascinating how it just works ( and is also v concerned about her)

Later going to his room he finds a stranded Cell and nervously tries the thing Sybil does, sits down to their level so he's not as intimidating, reaches out a hand

The Cell rolls right into it and he's frozen in the spot for like five minutes

i often wondered if this wasn't sybil he was talking about:

I'm starting to think that "putting the process in the spotlight" means making them physically bigger

#

At first they were microscopic, when he was writing logs they were some kind of in betweenie size, and when the events of the game happen they just set their own size

Which kinda explains the spine?

When you read the fetch logs, imagine a chihuahua sized thing barking really fast at royce

He's referred to by other characters as one of the most brilliant architects Cloudbank has ever produced. He's responsible for a great deal of Cloudbanks architecture, and I believe he had a part in designing the systems that make Cloudbank so ridiculously moddable, for lack of a better word.

(maybe because i strongly suspect that cloudbank isn't... physical at all, at least not the way we understand it)

near wagon Oct 22, 2019, 4:57 PM

yes, but string theory is so complicated and so far useless that the physicists working on it are stereotyped as having high int and low wis, or even low int low wis

and demands very high use of math

I would find it hilarious if cloudbank physics or even the entire city are based on video game physics/in engine

Unrelated but I like to think that the little mantra of "Clear the mind, clear the mind, it's the only way" I saw on like, unised Royce quotes was something he told himself when he was learning to control the Transistor, in order to let go of his thoughts that were getting in the way

Which is why his control over it is so intuitive and fluid

#

Yeah, not Crail

#

Crail is fine

little pagoda Oct 22, 2019, 10:29 PM

#

I THOUGHT THE CODE WAS CURSED

calm jackal Oct 23, 2019, 2:35 AM

#

tbf the code is cursed

#

its some strange blend of C and lua

#

it uses 2 different kinds of comments

digital peak Oct 23, 2019, 8:04 AM

#

how are you accessing the source?

calm jackal Oct 23, 2019, 8:07 AM

#

The exe itself is pretty unparsable, I've tried, but most of the code that the game uses is in content/scripts/

#

I just dig around in there looking for useful thing to edit

#

For example, in playerprogressscripts.txt, starting around line 43, you can find and edit the functions you get when you level up

#

Apparently there's nothing stopping you from having 3 breaches

#

Or probably more

#

You could probably run a 9 breach loadout

#

But I get weird errors when I try to mod complicated stuff in there so I think I'll edit the decker itself

#

Decker is approx 1300 lines deep into standardscripts

digital peak Oct 23, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

ohh it's the lua. thanks, this will be fun to read 🙂

#

so what are decks? thought it could be part of encounter generation, but the code doesn't make sense with anything i've seen in the game... scrapped gameplay feature?

digital peak Oct 23, 2019, 11:15 AM

#

there's fragments of some kind of multiplayer in there.. leaderboards and other player represented in the game world. that would have been cool
