Fquist raises a good point. The Mechaius storyline is naturally more serious, and the whole covert thing is even moreso.

To those who are unfamiliar with this old project of mine, let me throw out an alternative game idea:

The game opens with a cinematic: several kids are sitting around a campfire roasting marshmallows. One of the mallows catches on fire, and the kid tries to put out the flame by shaking his stick. The fire is relentless and just burns on. The kid begins shaking his stick more violently as the movie turns to slow motion and zooms in on the flaming mallow.

Suddenly, the ball off goop flies off of the stick and is hurled upward. It goes and goes until it finally reaches the end of Earth's atmosphere and is projected into space.

The flaming mallow continues to soar through space until it finally lands on an unsuspecting planet. Splat!

We fade out and fade back in several million/billion years later. The blob of marshmallow seems to have grown a bit, and is bubbling. Pop! A small blob hops out of the mess and begins moving around. Pop! Pop! Dozens more follow.

The Mallow race is born.

Okay, so that's the basic background. The game would involve several marshmallow characters, each with widely varying moves and abilities. All characters would be playable, depending on the rules of the level. (To the skeptics: Yes, it is possible. I've already worked out how to code it.) Anyway, the game would have very little in the way of weapons. The majority (if not all) of the fighting would be hand-to-hand combat.

So, basically, you would have fast-paced action like Jazz, but cool jumps, attacks, and defenses (think Dragon Ball Z). I would like to incorporate methods of controlling/concentrating energy as well, cause this would just be cool.

The end.
