Chapter 14: Chapter 13 Plans about Clark and Xenogears
[Venom POV]
Okay so somehow this world resembles a Nolan trilogy batman albeit loosely, with a Smallville superman. I know this because the farm boy in the article looks like Tom Welling a bit and the Lex one looks a bit like Michael Rosenbaum. That's a little lucky for me considering how many times I watched Smallville so at least I have an idea of what could happen there.
Then it hit me, if the comic or animated series venom was able to mimic Spidey's powers, is it possible to use this method to analyze kryptonian biology and mimic it? Maybe not but it might be worth a shot. And considering I know what could happen in Smallville, I can plan out when I step in and temporarily get on Clark. Maybe when he's asleep or incapacitated by the enemy of the week or something.
First thing that comes into my mind was WHEN I want to analyze his biology. The first season of the show, he doesn't even have some of the powers yet. But then again, most of the time he gets the powers were due to psychological triggers during extreme stress or circumstances. So after considering it for a bit, I think I can go ahead anytime as long as I get a chance. Or at least, anytime before he gets his super hearing. By the time he gets that, it becomes a little difficult for most normal people to sneak up on him. Technically I'm with batman now, but he's still starting out and I am unsure if he can already sneak up on a kryptonian at this time.
Looks like I might need to visit him as soon as I can before he develops his other abilities. So my initial plan would be, to get on him either when he is asleep or knocked out. While under weakening via kryptonite, it might alter my analysis results so I would prefer when he's not under the effects of its radiation. But I don't think I can afford to wait for an opportunity like that.
Most of the time, Clark is 100% awake during the day. From my memories of early seasons, I can only get to him when he's under weakening. The times when he sleeps would be at night. And I can't wait for night since that's batsy's turn.
I think I'll time my visit when Clark joins the football team and gets temporarily disabled in the sauna.
This one actually sounds more plausible since Clark would be unconscious here. I can get in and out easy without anyone noticing. At least till Jonathan comes looking for him.
So I go ahead and check for anything I can find about the school games and luckily find the schedule for their games. I remember it was supposed to be a Friday and it was supposed to be the coach's 200th win and after accessing the coach win records, I have the date. I ask Alfred to set the date to have the Private Jet ready so I can visit fairly quickly.
Now that's taken care of, I can go back to planning Xenogears for now.
In my past life, while I don't remember details pertaining to my identity, I still remember my experiences. I still remember that I had a Degree in Fine Arts. So I can still pretty much draw. I start making digital concept art for Xenogears. I start with characters, then backgrounds, the Gears (giant mechs) and boss designs.
Somehow I am able to recall impeccable details I don't know why but I don't question it. It feels like I'm looking at my memory as if opening a video file in my mind and copy the details on to the digital canvas. Since I'm almost practically copying it, I finish very quickly.
Then I move on to sample screens of what the combo system looks like.
Finally, I decide to draw what I want the controller to look like. Surprise surprise (not really) I simply draw the PS4 controller look. I write all the necessary functions and that was it.
Half a day later, I start a conference call with my new game company. I get a briefing on the company status, how many talents I have there, then I tell them I want a game made.
I specify that this is more for me than it is for profit but I tell them to still do the usual marketing and pricing so it can at least pay for itself and the production.
I told them I intend to make this as a trial run but tell them not to discard all the assets and files used afterwards since I want to eventually use those for reference by the time I make a remake version with better graphics.
For the next few days, I didn't do much but kept doing meetings and continuously talking about what I want, expectations, systems in place etc. Everything I remember of the game. Then I told them hire young graduates as well and new talents and have them submit concept art to me for any possible additions to the game.
Since the original game only had 1 disc for the proper gameplay and exploration and the 2nd disc was originally rushed, I am expecting them to expand on the 2nd disc. I give them my written script for the full storyline and have them make new level design and plots in between the story I wrote of the 2nd disc.
This kept going for days and I can say that it's progressing quite nicely. Though little did I know, my actions caused a lot of ripples. I guess many people are able to tell that there was movement in my company.
Rumors start to spread of my entry to the game industry.
