Aquaria Creatures

[ChimeraThing]

Im preety sure this has been thought of before, but i had an idea and i wanted to share it, because i doubt i could pull off this mod.
This would be played like aquaria, but with sea creatures instead of Najia. I was thinking the default form would be the jellyfish, and you could use songs to transform into different creatures, like energy form would be that flying thing that lauches energy, other forms might include a leafy sea dragon, a large nautilus, or a pirahna. Custom bosses would be giant, more power versions of each avalible form in order to aquire each form. Tell me what you think.

Very neat idea, though the damage each form dealt would have to be ramped up a lot. What would the enemies be? Any story ideas? It sounds like a great idea for a mod, though Danger Mouse is already on a project.  Please continue, modder. lol

Thanks! Hm, story, how bout this...
You are a guardian, sent into the waters of Aquaria as a peacekeeper, but you have to keep yourself incognito, so you turn into the form of a Song Jelly. Lately, some larger creatures have been wrecking havoc, you discover a new power when you eliminate one of these large beasts, you can copy its Verse code and transform into one of its offsprings, giving you new powers and abilities! As you venture deeper into Aquaria, you find that an evil force has been compelling these creatures to cause chaos! Will you be able to fight this force and restore peace to Aquaria?

Ill post some MS paint sketches of a few bosses over the weekend. Ill start working on a script too. thanks again!

this is one of the coolest ideas *ever*

[Chibi]

Great! It's wonderful to see the world of Aquaria reinvented  I especially like the undercover agent of peace part. 

[Hiro]

Wow, this really is a cool sounding idea.

Only issue I can see is that it wouldn't be easy to make, since you'd need to redo the bones for Naija to make her look and act like a monster would.. I don't know exactly how all that stuff works though. 

Try out my Big Energy Form Battle mod, it might give you some ideas for stuff... xD (plus the more people that try it the better)
And actually, if you want a mod that has all the resources that are easily available, its a good place to get it.

Thanks guys! Yea, this would be a preety daring feat to make this idea a reality, but if anyone would create this, i would be happy to take some time to edit the animations!
Heres a quick sketch of the would be first boss, Omega Nautilus:

How you would beat him: The yellow pipe on his shell plays a note and emits a certain color, if you match the note with your song, he moves forward a bit, he lashes his tentacles as an attack, eventually, you lure his far enough, and he falls into a chasm, and his falling body destroys a rock wall, opening an exit, when you swim out a cutscene begins:
Guardian: As I swim near the fallen behemoth, I feel a strange force engulf me, and i hear the beasts voice in my mind. (even though jellyfish dont have brains)
Omega: You are stong, small one, and you have freed me from the binds of evil, for that, i will give you something in return. now, i must die...
Guardian: I thanked the creature as its voice faded, but i felt a spark inside me, something new, but at the same time, i wondered what it meant be binds of evil. I now felt a piece of the creature inside me, I could now change guises into a Nautilus.

That is a great idea and I do like the idea of his falling body breaking open a wall to another area

[ChimeraThing]

Thanks! 

[Chibi]

Keep the pictures coming! I'm liking this more and more.  My first impression of Omega Nautilus was of NP wearing a Spartan helmet, lol.

[ChimeraThing]

Okay! Your wish is my command! But im on a intel based Mac with Windows, and photoshop is on the mac side, so ill post some pics tomarrow, and maybe a pencil scetch of Omega. If this dosent become a mod, ill make a namfiction of it 

[Chibi]

Yeah, I was just messing with you: in other words, feel no need to hurry. 

[ChimeraThing]

Lol, time for some more stuff!
Third Boss: Ivy Dragon

Boss Death Cutscene:
[Ivy falls to the ground, opening a previously blocked exit]
Ivy: Guardian... he has mutated body... my soul... my mind...
Guardian: Goodbye my friend, can i do anything for you after you part from this world?
Ivy: Defeat the man behind all this, Sanguine, ruler of blood.
Guardian: It shall be done.
Ivy: Thank you, little one, now i must leave.
Guardian: goodbye, my friend.
[Ivy dies]

[Guardian gains seahorse transformation]

In the top left is the top-half of Sanguine. Heres some info.
Sanguine is the forgotten and exiled first born, and son of Mia, after his mother framed him for a horrible crime he was banished to the deepest reaches of Aquaria, below the abyss, there, he found an evil spirit that taught him powers. When the spirit tried to take him over, he destroyed it with his power, and took all of its powers. this power drove him mad and he mutated the creatures of aquaria to become his evil puppets. he is he main villan and reocurring boss in the story.

I love the picture of Naija, although you might want to change the dialogue so it isn't too much of a copy of the conversation Naija has with Mithala. Good job otherwise.

[ChimeraThing]

Lol, yea, I tried, but i killed mithala today and Im trying to get the conversation out of my head.
Funny, im a bit squamish, but from all the scarier places in the game, Mithalia has been the least scary.
And its not Najia, its Sanguine.
