jacked in

[starsinthecode]

talking to my friend about if netrunning Pritch had been in dxhr and how hard that'd of gone narrative and gameplaywise.

feel like jensen being able to use game mechanics to request assistance in hacking enemies or weapons would have been sick but i can see how that'd ruin the one man army fantasy and would require the whole game being more structured around the prominence of their partnership to sell it

But allowing pritch to netrun alongside jensen's missions would allow for some amazing interactions and dialogue.

since cyberspace somewhat reflects real world structure with the relative placement of networks and devices, it'd be sensible to bring Pritch with you to missions to allow him to physically jack in on premises and the first minutes are you having to find/make him a safe place to go catatonic.

made funnier by the fact he's probably fucking useless physically but as soon as he's electroscaping he's a fucking samurai

but could easily become multilayer drama with assisting each other, one or the other in trouble and having to choose who's mission goal to prioritize and potentially losing an important contact or data. imagining the possibilities....

Thanks for your incredible deus ex art really🙏 THANKS FOR MAKING MY EVENING AWESOME. id rrealllyyy like to hear more about your netrunner au if youre willing to share it one day👀

anyway, i hope your day is also going great!

hey thank you for your incredible compliments man really made my night

i'd looove to tell you more, tho my writing partner and i only just started stitching it together and currently in the process of world building a setting specifically for it called crystal city which we're saying is like night city + detroit, but in north australia.

mostly for fun because i've been writing the same DX set pieces for years and I wanted smth different.

we rlly enjoy the concepts of corporate war/rivalry inherent in both settings and all the vigilantism/crime etc.

also the slice of lifey details of the ice baths with netrunners turning their bodies into processors is super fun and I can't wait to write about that.

we're big fans of AUs <3
