guh... Too... many... posts... to... process...

My take on Ma3a is pretty similar to Todd's in that I assumed she was "kind of" Lora. That the accident digitized part of her personality, without her memories and without her individuality. I could go on at length, but surely some of you would prefer I save a few of my insights for the comics. Particularly when you consider they will probably cost $3.95 an issue.

However, I took notice that many of these aspects from the game were left open to interpretation. Subsequently, I think we have the potential for many diverse and interesting takes on what has happened over the last 20 years.

As far as the general concept of what is and isn't on topic... Well... There's not much to talk about in regards to the comic stuff yet. Not that I can share anyway. And the interpretations of the Tron universe (from both the film and the game) is key in what the end result of the comic will be. Mind you, I've been formulating the story for the last year and a half, so there's not to much that will change. But what is interesting is seeing how many people have similar impressions of what is happening inside the computer as I do. I'm really looking forward to reaction on the comic. I mean, some of you will hate it. Some of you will not. But discussing what is loved and hated is a big motivation for me in working, as I am sure any of you who have written fiction or created artwork can attest to. So, in short, as Todd stated, discussing the storyline of the game and the images here is not really a problem. they go hand in hand.

I see what you are going for in those images, Traahn. I'll make sure to show these to Louie. I'm not sure how similar the texture and shading of the characters will be in the final artwork though, so the flatness may or may not be present.

redrain85: I have to be honest, it was when spellcheck tried to alter "Ma3a" to "Mama" that I noticed the potential interpretation. I had noticed the "Ma" part immediately, but not the rest. I wonder if it was intentional?

I think it was intentional too. I'm not sure where it came from or what started it but I've seen articles written about l33t 5p34k. Having followed this conversation that's exactly what Ma3a looks like to me. If you aren't familiar with it here is a place to start:

lurkinghorror, I've got a question. I'm a BIG fan of Tron. I now can even say I own Tron 2.0 and the stratagy guide. However my personal PC is on its last legs and I doubt I'd get very far if I tried to install it. At the moment I don't have enough free time to try installing it. I hope to have a new PC and some free time one of these days but also having gone through unemployment in my past I'm greatful to be kept busy too. Anyways, I'm not familiar with the story in Tron 2.0 or any of these other spin off games which I guess tell different parts of the story. Will your comic bring those not familar with the new characters and the events of Tron 2.0 up to speed? You've said your comic is NOT Tron 2.0 the comic but there are times I've sort of wished for just that to know what I'm missing out on story wise.

Just curious,
Carl

Not a problem. I fully understand! No worries from me, as I'm just glad this project was green-lighted

Hi all. Haven't posted alot, mostly lurking....
But I do remember somewhere in the game reading an email from Alan. He said something about after Laura's accident finding alot of raw code. Raw complicated code. I think he used that code to help create Ma3a.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I've come to the personal conclusion (based on very little) that programs look like their programmers, not their users. Yes, Yuri looks like Lora, Tron like Alan, Clu like Flynn. But it seems likely that all these programs were actually written by their users.

Now, does Ram look like his user (an accountant?) or the popcorn guy (a programmer?) in the cubicle next to Alan's? I suspect that the actor playing both characters was not really meant as anything much more than: "hey Dan, you're on the set. say this line!" But does Mercury look like Alan?

Anyway, I said this is based upon very little. But it makes sense to me.

That is exactly how that scene happened. The character was named Walter Dizzly and Steven asked Dan Shor to step in and do the piece. It was a little bit of filler for the scenes only.

Now I'm half expecting Jet to weild a cane for some reason and have the sudden urge from time to time to smack people with it. But on that tangent, I think that they despritally need to make Jet's eyes a little wider or do something about it. If no one's going to make the House M.D. connection, then Jet actually looks kinda villanous and that doesn't work either.

And as far as that helmet idea, he looks much better without it. It takes too much away from Jet and sorta clutters his head. It also points out that there's nothing unusual about Jet in the digital world. He looks way too much like everyone else. I think there needs to be a bit more diversity. If he really needs a helmet, why not one that looks like a biker's helmet like they did in Killer App? Or at least something similar to it? The other problem by adding a helmet is that something totally weird happens to his over all appearance. It makes him look 10 years older than he really is. I mean he'd be like 20-something, but the helmeted version doesn't say that. It says that while he still is a bit young, he's an old looking 20-something-year-old. I really thing he needs a much more youthful (Yet mature-ish) appearance or else I don't think anyone is going to buy in to his appearance.

The helmets were added to make it look more Halo I was told, and also to solve likeness issues with Boxleitner.

Um, I didn't know they have floaters in COMPUTERS. lol I keep thinking of headbutting mobos, and arcs flying throughout the room....
