    I wouldn't be surprised if it would be tactical to wait till at least Stage 2 or 3 Beta to start work on the Mod, as hopefully then the plan & foundation for the Game's Code Base will be done.

    This is kind of amazing...

    Must add naow.

    Also it would be cool if you could reverse engineer the Lucient technology combined with your racial gear to create hybrid weapons/armor with the advancements/power of the Lucients but the aesthetics and such of your race.

    So...First off, nice to see this is still going strong.

    Second, it was CONFIRMED that Darkbound Novakids are impossible, correct? if so... :(

    Lore-wise, it would be practically inconceivable for the Darkbound spores to integrate themselves successfully with beings made of pure energy. They can't even propagate themselves in indirect sunlight, so how could they possibly take root in a sun-like being directly?

    Gameplay-wise, they would be affected the same as any other player character because races are treated as a cosmetic choice for balance reasons.

    (Also, this thread really isn't being maintained or developed anymore. I'm just responding because I'm the loremaster of the Darkbound and will answer any questions posed to the best of my ability.)

    Hm. So gameplay-wise, you're just the really unlucky Novakid who is compatible with the infection.

    Cool.

    Can we join darkbound without being infected? As a mercenary or an ally?

    I guess you die, continue controlling your guy, or i dunno.

    Not really a planned feature for player characters, despite some exceptions having been made in the lore for story purposes.
    According to what was planned, you die and are respawned on your ship and a darkbound facsimile of your character will roam around the planet until killed.

    Are the Darkbounds based of the X parasites from Metroid Fusion? Or maybe the Ing from Metroid Prime Echoes? I can see elements from both races in them

    I believe it would be both. The Ing and X parasites both have the ability to take over bodies and they both want to spread like a glalactic virus. However the X parasites are mindless creatures (unless they absorb someone and their intelligence) while the Ing have more of a hive mind.

    Some images are down. And this is a bump; but this is meaningful.

    Sorry but theres no chance any of these images will be restored. The team scattered long ago and the mod have been dead for a very very very long time.
