Will Hand So FINALLY be brought back into game?

[river_song25]

With all of these ship upgrades that are being made, including an AI system for the upgrades, is Hand So going to finally be brought back into the game, if you kept her bead matrix instead of destroying it or selling it to Conselo, to become a AI for the new ships?

Yes.

 

[Savin]

Maybe?

The answer may surprise you!

It'll also surprise me, for that matter.

I know I read somewhere in Nonesuch's thread that he was walking away from Hand So (something about a disagreement with Fen if I recall correctly), but it would be great if they could weigh in on this topic...

 

[Crablord]

these are all extremely concrete answers

The situation, as of me talking to Fen about this last, is this:

In the --> four whole years <-- since I wrote Hand So, I got sick and tired of waiting for the ship mechanics that could support her, and decided to transplant all of the material I was going to use for her into my own game. My intention was simply to tie a knot with the data bead and leave it at that, because I have no intention of doing anything more with HS.

However, Fen reeeaaaaally wants her in TiTS, and sees this ship update as the perfect opportunity to introduce her. So what's likely to happen is that someone else will be commissioned to produce her, maybe with some input from me. I don't particularly like this state of affairs, however it is what it is what it is and from the players' perspective you'll be getting a lot of robo-domme in the near future.

My own game, Cloud 10 - that to be clear does not contain Hand So but a different, fathomlessly thirsty AI character - will be releasing its first public build in July.

Thanks for posting Nonesuch. Good luck with Cloud 10, I'm looking forward to giving it a go.

Same here. And I suppose that'd work out for the best - you get the creatie freedom you need to make her what you want without needing to fit inside an existing and increasingly complicated tapestry that is TiTS, as well as what may turn out to be an iterative affair with the ship content (if the current one is eventually replaced by Gedan's system). The rest of us could get their Robo-dom, while those of us who also play your game get a different thirsty AI on top of that.

You do write some really interesting characters in TiTS, so I'm looking forward to see how your own game plays.

I will keep her them... Looking forward for more
