Consideration of Knowledge - Arc ID: 65341


Wandering into your local Architect Entertainment building, you discover that the game may be talking to you. Is Mission Architect using an arc to teach you tips on writing in Mission Architect? Low XP but high knowledge! [SFMA]

 


 

This has been in the planning stages for a while but December put me in a sprint to completion.  With this arc, there's two specific reasons why it exists...

 

For the first bit of inspiration: Back in the retail days there was an arc called Knowledge Is Power (by @Paula) that used a witty style to teach tips about Mission Architect.  It managed to earn a Dev's Choice and had mild popularity.  I was disappointed to not see it on Homecoming.  Don't know if the author isn't on HC or chose not to republish.  I felt there needed to be something like it. Not an exact copy but I don't remember it clearly enough to copy even I wanted to.  From that, eventually came the second inspiration...

While the AE hologram stream is acid green in game, a quiet portion of my brain thinks of AE with a blueprint blue.  I joined CoH in I14 with the retail copy and with that I stumbled upon the idea of: Why not give back by making the teaching arc heavily reference the mission from the inside cover?  With my own twists of course but it felt like the right way to handle things. I decided to recreate Tough Love and Cosmic Bleed from scratch as the main stars of the arc and make the whole thing self aware.  I'm also gifting their costumes to the rest of the community.
