After reading through the Etherpad entry, A couple things.

About the robot character and it being “hard to create an (emotional) connection to the real player”. If the robot character was a robot boy with a human heart a cyborg of sorts, he could have an emotional impact without to much work. His quest could be in part to regain his humanity. No not Pinocchio.

Or he could simply be a astronaut-boy or robot-boy.

I think the robot character may not be the best story line but it would probably be the easiest.

I didn’t really like the darker bother and sister Idea at first but its growing on me as long as it doesn’t get to dark. I think that would have a negative impact on overall sales, for lack of a better word.

I hope we can pin down some things soon. The gravity change thing seems the only real thing left from the design doc.? sad.
