Yeah, idk maybe it's just the way that I approach writing but I feel like either I have 1) a plot sketch or 2) A fully fleshed out character where I want to see "where they go". In both of those cases there are dials that I can turn a little here and there, but e.g. in the plot sketch situation I don't think I can have a plot where it feels like the characters are driving the plot but where I could also just trivially change between Maverick or Shinji for that character.

Everyone writes differently. I have an outline. I can make modifications to it based upon character changes.

Recently, I decided that I disliked the deuteragonist and decided to modify her personality. I highlighted everything I took exception to in red and realized that, if I excised all of those moments, she would drop from the number two spot in the story to the number four spot. I think I'm going to leave her with the personality that I didn't care for just because it's what suits the story best. There's a certain undercurrent to the story which she exemplifies.

I like the Genesis and NES games. I never got into the SNES one.

The velociraptors are overpowered and I loath to use my ammunition on them because of how limited it is. It's like if you started out a Resident Evil game with respawning mini-bosses. Keep in mind that you have to play the entire game in one setting. It's not like you can restart at the last save point.

I'll give them credit for attempting first-person sections on a 16-bit console, but they don't play well. The Contra-like sequel is much better.

I mean, first person is okay if you're just some generic character. If you're wandering a haunted mansion or something, it's fine. But I don't get why anyone should hide a character with a unique look behind the camera.

That'd be like if you were watching Jurassic Park, but the dinosaurs were always hidden behind the bushes. "And behind those trees are the special effects that we couldn't afford."

I just found out that Prime was meant to be third-person, but he fought the studio on making it first-person.

That suit is badass. I have no idea why Nintendo hates it. Is it because they stole it from some anime and are ashamed of their theft? When Samus wears it, she's in first-person. When Samus is in third-person, they put her in the zero suit.

Man, that's frustrating. GoldenEye worked because Bond was just a guy in a tuxedo. It's the personality, not the outfit, that makes the character entertaining. And since that doesn't transfer into a 90s game anyway, you lose nothing in the game going first-person. But with a character like Samus, Batman, Godzilla, etc., anyone who has a unique look that is recognizable in silhouette, I'd never want to play a first-person game starring them. They should always be front and center where the player can see them.

I missed out because Miyamoto wanted the first-person look. I'm grateful to him for all of the IPs, but that is super frustrating. Fuck first-person perspectives. Just fuck 'em.

J. K. Rowling has shown herself on social media to be a nasty person. It's not surprising that she would be all about writing disproportionate retribution or delighting in body horror. This is the person who thinks that normal people are muggles with no potential and that trans people are rapists posing as women.

It's ironic that she's the one who came up with the quote about choosing between what is right and what is easy.

I guess maybe it's just because there's not a specific example here, but I'm not sure how you even have "a character" if you don't have a personality for them? If you get what I'm saying.

It's like grocery shopping when you're hungry.

I have a base personality for the character, but everything I see sounds good. I see Top Gun and I feel the character should be cocky and competitive. I see Lady and the Tramp and I feel the character should be laid back and carefree. I look back to Spider-Man or Evangelion without so much as a rewatch and I think the character should have Spidey's quick wit or Shinji's crippling self-doubt. If I read a book, I spend the first half thinking of how much my protagonist is like one of the characters in the novel that I'm reading before I think, "Nah, that's not him."

This is probably a case where an impulse decision is the right choice to make. Because an impulse decision represents my subconscious hopes and desires for the character.

I feel like everything would fall into place if you picked who it is your protagonist first. Deciding between three distinct personalities for the protagonist would shift the entirety of the narrative in most cases >_>

It's said that characters who drive the plot are more interesting that characters who follow where the plot takes them. I'm sorry to say that this is a case of the latter. But I have a good reason for it.

If you look at The Wizard of Oz, the protagonist is a farm girl in an extraordinary world. If you look at the first Star Wars, the same is true of Luke. He's a teenager on a farm who dreams of becoming a hero. You could absolutely have a story like that outlined, then go back and modify the protagonist's personality to suit.

"What if Luke is a consummate gambler? What if he bets on everything and we use it as a sign of his immaturity which he must overcome?"

That wasn't a real consideration, but it wouldn't have likely gotten in the way of the finished film if it had become a part of the character.

I'm watching a video about cancelled video games and they're talking about how the programmers kept borrowing elements from other games they were playing at the time and how the lack of a consistent vision ultimately prevented the game from moving forward.

The other day, I rewatched Robin Hood on DVD to celebrate the 50th anniversary. When the film was over, I took time to look over some of the concept art. They had human characters in Medieval Europe, animal characters in Medieval Europe, and animal characters in the American Wild West. They also had an alternate ending. They decided on an setting and saw it through to fruition. But you can tell from the production that they kicked around a ton of ideas before making their commitment.

Right now, I have an outline for my story that I'm working on. But I have one of three options to choose for my protagonist's personality, one of three options to choose for my deuteragonist's personality, and one of three options to choose for my tritagonist's personality. I'm putting the cart before the horse too because I'm focusing on the second and third most important characters instead of the protagonist. The protag sets the pace, not the supporting cast.

Life often gets in the way, unfortunately. This isn't new.

Spider-Man had to do reshoots because of 9/11. At one point, the deleted scene of him webbing a helicopter between the Twin Towers was used as a teaser trailer. It also cost us True Lies 2.

Way back in Hollywood's golden era, Warner Bros. was working on a film in which Humphrey Bogart had to deal with Japanese saboteurs plotting against Pearl Harbor when the film had to undergo a massive overhaul of its plot due to the attacks on Pearl Harbor.

SNES had Mode 7

It's weird how little they actually used it. Super Castlevania IV and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts had rotating rooms. Turtles in Time had the player throwing foot soldiers at the screen to win the Technodrome boss fight. There weren't too many games that actually made use of it. If there had been more games like F-Zero or boss fights like the Godzilla-fied Bowser from Yoshi's Island, it could have been a major advantage over Sega.

Instead, it was mostly just the SNES title screen popping out at the player and maybe a boss appearing in the background before moving to the foreground whereas the Sega version would have a stationary title screen and a boss fight that appears from the right side of the screen rather than the background. Hardly an advantage to speak of.
