Possible Project, does any-one appove?

29 December 2007 - 07:18 AM

I'm not entirely sure this is the right topic place thing to post this in but I didn't know where else to post it.
Now first of all I am a horrible procrastinator, I do not have anything besides Photoshop elements at this time, and I'm at a school with a heavy work load so I have no idea if I'll finish this or even get around to it, but I'm toying with the idea for as long as it interests me:
Ok enough waffling.

I was thinking, NiGHTS is a very symbolic game and its fanbase is pretty open minded about things such as dreams and dreamcatchers etc. So I was thinking, should I toy around with a NiGHTS Tarot deck? Just the Major arcana obviously (I'm not masochistic enough to do all 76 cards)
Not for serious use obviously (I'm not fond of Tarot decks featuring specific things) but I think it would be fun to try and find things in the NiGHTS universe that can have a meaning in Tarot as well. I have some ideas for some of the cards already.

So.. ..what do you think? I'm such a newbie and I'd appreciate any ideas and suggestions. 83 I don't normally take offense from helpful critisism. or at least I try not to.
Am I toying around with something too freaky even for the NiGHTS fanbase? Has it been done already? is it quite COMMON actually?

Newbie extraordinaire, any-one have any tips?

You now... the one where you have to tilt the board and make the cat balls fall into those holes? It's the second Boss you have to fight in the gladd castle level. It kicked my can on the first fight and my friend had trouble when fighting him/her as the last boss of the level.
Does any-one have any advice or tips on how to beat him/her?

Also, I'm having a bit of trouble with how the game's controls work. I assume it might just be because I am not use to it at all yet, but does any-one know which controller is the best for playing NJoD? I've been using the Nunchuk, I tried using the remote controller but that was even worse. What is every-one else using to play?

A shy hello

I just wrote a very long message but my internet explorer deleted it 8'<
Let's see... *sighs, disheartened by this*

Hi. I'm C-Puff.
I have only learnt WHO and WHAT NiGHTS is this year due to the fact that I have been living in South Africa for 20 years now. I only moved to Canada in August this year to study, but I had spotted NiGHTS many years before.
A few years ago, I believe I was 16, I was on a large Sonic buzz. We never got the Sega Saturn. the first console we ever got was the PSone. We got the Gamecube and the PS2, but we did not get the N64. We got the PS3 and the Xbox 360. But we still haven't gotten the Wii and I am beginning to doubt we will. Well anyway, I was on a Sonic Buzz, and because we did not get the Archie Sonic comics I was searching for scans of it online. I could not find full comic scans everywhere, but I had found a website with "highlight scans" on a website I cannot remember any more. Anyway while on there I spotted a cover scan of the NiD Archie comic (Which I believe is terrible) However, not knowing ANYTHING about NiGHTS I thought it was the most awesome looking thing ever. I remember staring at it in want, not knowing WHAT it was. I did not know it was a game, I only knew of the comic. and because we did not get Archie comics I knew I would never be able to read it (which, in hindsight, is probably a good thing. If I had read what I hear is a horrible comic it might have put me off NiGHTS before I even knew what s/he was) anyway. eventually I gave up on the strange reature in his purple jester's outfit floating above a sparkly city.
Then, in August of 2007 I came to Canada to Study to become a 2D animator. My good friend here was flabbergasted to find out I had never heard of NiGHTS into Dreams. She has been a long time Fan of the game and actually own a copy of the first one even if she does not have a Sega Saturn (she uses an emulator on her PC, the game copy is legit though) She quickly filled me in and pointed me in the Direction of TRiPPY's astounding art. I took one look at TRiPPY's work and I was hooked. I began finding more out about the game, and I am still discovering and finding things out, slowly and nervously. the fanbase is pretty intense and I don't know how accepting you guys are of fresh meat.
I have not played the first game as I have a MAC and the emulator is for a PC. My friend is not very found of me using her PC, and I prefer using a controller over keyboard any day.
However, how lucky am I? To find this new game (which I believe is rated number 15 of top 100 games of all time?) JUST as it's about to resurface after a 11 year wait? It's almost like fate or something.

As for what I like, I am an avid Invader Zim fan. Or rather, an Avid fan of my Spin-off of the Invader Zim universe. My favourite characters are Almighty Tallest Red and Almighty Tallest Purple. Ugh. I have too much to say about that XD;; without trying to spam, just check out my dA page.
I am also a big fan of Terry Pratchett. my favourite books of his are Night Watch and The Truth. Sam Vimes is my favourite character although recently I'm warming up to Rob Anybody a lot.
I like SPECIFIC anime and Manga. That is to say I am more often than not very fond of anime. But the ones I DO like I really like. Such as Sailor Moon, Fullmetal Alchemist, Princess Ai, and some Miyazaki. Specifically Spirited away, Nausicaa of the valley of the wind and, my favourite, Laputa, castle in the sky.
One of my favourite games is Kingdom Hearts. (GODS, I sound like SUCH a generic Fangirl. I am not I swear.)
My favourite Movie is The Little Mermaid and Stardust.

XD;; I like a lot of things, but this is turning into a monster of an entry.

I hope I can get more into the game and become a big fan 83 please don't eat me scary fanbase 8'< *cowers*
