Hi guys,

Nice new forum! Congratulations on reaching Alpha 1.1 by the way.

My question is, will there be any greys and other creatures in the game? I don't know if they would "fit" in the forumworld setting..

Yeah I was actually wonderin about that too... seeing as it is a forum city visualised as a physical place but not really "real" in the sense of the word (Matrix style)... I guess anything would be possible...
Instead of animals/creatures is there the possiblity of Viruses? or is that how they're represented? As greasels?

Damn greasy greasels... poor Fluffy... such a messy end.

That is an excellent question!

Yes, we will use animals in the mod. Since Forum City was created as a community based on Deus Ex, greasels and karkians are present at logical places throughout the game. We did once think about renaming greasels to vira (or whatever the hell the plural form of virus is), but we decided against it because there will be real computers in the world, and a "real" computer virus will play an important role in one of the side missions.

As for greys... you'll see.

Plural of virus is..viruses, actually.

It _sounds_ latin, but it's not, actually, a latin word. So we get to use plurals that make SENSE. Yay!

DDL, you old fox!!!

BTW, do we have large cats? Stripped ones?

Uhm... I mean... those strips on the back of the cat, yea, that's what I mean!

All it took was a server change to coax the other 3 fans out of the bushes

So then I says to him I says, this forum is jolly good.

And he says to me he says, I think you're off topic.

And I says to him I says, damn straight I am.

Will there be anymore transgenics? Or the same ones from DX?

As for greys... you'll see.

Intriguing... my interest is moderately heightened - !!! They're gonna take over the world, destroy the human race and grow evil, mutated zucchinis to serve them as slaves while the greys relax in temples built on the ruins of our modern civilization!!!

...ok i'm gonna go sit down now.

Sorry.

The above post was me... I temporarily forgot how to use the LOGIN button.

We're not planning to model any new transgenics. In fact there is only one new character model in TNM so far. That one is really good though, and it has been deliberately chosen because it adds new combat gameplay to DX (in other words, it's not just more of the old stuff).
