Intro screen.

[fasigno]

We need a new intro screen. Someone should design a new animated intro screen, or change at least the background of the actual intro.

[Mandarancio]

I'll work on it!

[fasigno]

Ok!

[Mandarancio]

What do you think will be the best solution? Something like the old one (so a 'ingame' animation) or something external, like a video?

[batarov]

I think that video will best

[Mandarancio]

2D or 3D? In any case I think I'll do it in blender..

[fasigno]

There is something in 3d with blender in the Artworks folder partially done.

[Mandarancio]

I know I did it some time ago... But I think I'm goo to do something 2D to be more similar at the game style

[batarov]

Martino, create short preview and we'll select best

[fasigno]

I don't know, I think is not important if the video is in 3d and the game in 2d, because all the 80's and 90's games were like that!

The style of the game will follow the main menu. I put a palette with the colors of the game (here)[http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22799853/OpenGoo_Palettes.pdf]

[Mandarancio]

Ok I think I'll start where worl of goo end http://youtu.be/khU0tblhrkg?t=2m14s

[batarov]

I had an idea on the subject. Goos went for a walk, but there was a heavy rain and goos were washed away in the sewers. And the goal of the game to get out of the sewer -))

[batarov]

I invented an alternative name for GOO - unidentified black object, abbreviated UBO

[fasigno]

At this time I don't think that it would be a good idea change the name at the project. It is known and sponsored like 'OpenGOO' outside.

But we can integrate the UBOs in the game story.

This UBO thing makes me think about this story:

The goos reach a new planet (after flying away in the original story) but there's a heavy rain and goos are washed away in the sewers. In the sewers they realize that there is a new unexplored goo world. But before notice it, they are scared about the darkness of the sewers and they feel the presence of others, that they call UBO.

The intro video should present the first part of the story, flying goos swept by the rain and wind into a manhole.

Obviously this is just my contribution, I really appreciate all this brainstorm about new ideas for the game.

[batarov]

In my mind UBOs out of the sewer can swim

[batarov]

New story gives us a chance add to the game Goos with new properties

We are able to build a new world for UBOs

Or even the Universe of Goo -)

[fasigno]

Sure, infact we started with the collaborative story idea.

But it hasn't been a success.

[batarov]

Here are creating an introduction and will be the starting point

Need to first create the problem in introduction and then we will decide how to solve it -)

[batarov]

Go to 36:30 and see how can create a problem

[batarov]

Another story, during space travel Goos fallen into a black hole and the new world is like a sewer

[Mandarancio]

I like this idea. Is very nice, and maybe we can do some level with some strange physics property no?

[batarov]

It's fantastic, but in this world there are teleports, teleport is used instead of such tubes

[batarov]

If we use the idea of the black hole, then the goal of the game to return to his world

The storyline may be such that in their world they do not come immediately, but only after visiting other worlds

[Mandarancio]

Or at least at their universe

If we use the idea of the black hole, then the goal of the game to return to his world

[batarov]

Possible and so

[batarov]

A black hole in general can be like a black tube -))

[batarov]

Goos fly into a funnel, and this may be the beginning of history

[batarov]

Another idea is that the different worlds of different gravity, such as 5, 10 and 20

But it is necessary to experiment with low-gravity very interesting tricks can be performed

[fasigno]

Wow physics' ground, we can also create levels with the screen rotated upside down.

[Mandarancio]

I think that maybe we can have 2 videos, one short and not related to the story mode, for the introduction of the game, the second one for the introduction of the story (with the black hole and everything), what do you think about this?

[fasigno]

Ok, I agree.
