I'm not sure if many of you know me, but I'd be happy to help out. I'm not sure when I would be able to, but I will as much as possible. I've had experience in concept art and storyboard making for games before. Not big games, mind you, just lil games that friends over the internet have created. ^.^; If you want those samples I could send them through e-mail or post them on a site or somn. Overall, I have a few suggestions and comments after reading through everyone else's posts..

I really like the idea that Onag came up with about the mostly mechanical people and ( i don't remember who it was ) the idea of having something like a flashback, showing the future, the past, and inbetween when there weren't any mechs. I love that idea where they began to replace body parts with mechanical limbs, etc. That was siiiiiic. X3 hehe. When I read the whole mechanical people thing, I thought of Megaman. ;P Funkeh.

There shouldn't be much relation to Jazz what-so-ever, in my opinion, because we seem to be racking in MANY great ideas that should pull off a sure-fire storyboard, characters, and a dang good plot. Lets at least give it a shot without using Jazz or Jazz-related characters, settings, or universe.

Moreover, there was an idea that I saw that asked if there were going to have multiple players to select from. I wouldn't think we should worry about that right now. As Onag said, we can add onto it later because that's what it would be built for, to add on.

Also, (I hope I'm not getting too annoying) instead of having separate worlds and planets, what about having "evolved" bad guys? So, lets say our bad guys were demon... uhh... gerbils. Yes. Gerbils. At the beginning, we could have those gerbils just be a rabid gerbil, it can still inflict damage upon the main character, but it's just the first of what we come up with. Later on, when you guys would want to "change to a different world", instead of having a whole new race of monsters, we could have an evolved version of the gerbil. So, instead of a cute, fluffy, go-happy, big teeth, wants-to-bite-your-head-off gerbil, we could have the evolved version with a small story, or a movie/animation, behind it. Example: The gerbils were in there dark cave, planning their evil plot to destroy the uhh... Good People!! Bwuahaha! But, then, a barrel of toxic, back-fire waste spills all over them and they become smarter, quicker, bigger, and... EVILER! (( is eviler even a word? )) Well, you guys get my point, I hope. Having more than one race of bad guys is definetly good, but I wouldn't imagine that we would need to switch to a whole new planet like in Jazz Jackrabbit 1. :P

The whole marshmellow people sound pretty awesome except for one thing that has me stumped. It seems pretty farfetched to add in a marshmellow race, no matter how awesome it is, and to attract people to play it. I understand that this is a project made purely, or mostly, out of fun, but what if this really kicks off? If we do this right, people may really like it. I'm not saying I would like to gather money from this, although it would be nice, but this really could be a hit.. I may be looking a bit far into the future or what it could be, but hey, somebody has to! :P

Okay, I have written way too much, but I had a lot to say. ^.^;; One last question to finish this off:
In any of your opinions, about what age group would this be made for? If we want this for kids, we don't want to scare them crapless with monsters streaming green froth from their mouth and bloody swords, daggers and blood-stained teeth. If it's for teens and younger kids that are old enough, I think those would be acceptable, no?

Okie dokie. <.<;; I'm shuttin up now.
