Epsilon Ideas Thread

[Inferno]

I was thinking about doing a section in epsilon where you play as the AI itself hacking a computer terminal to open a door after the director has locked you in a hallway.

I have a idea for the art style but I'm not sure how I should proceed with this.
I was thinking possibly making it a platformer and shooter type event. Working your way through a couple of encounters/puzzles and having to deactivate security systems and steal passwords from data ports in the ships computer system.

I'm at a loss for ideas besides enemy and weapon types and a few small puzzles.

What do you guys think of this? Got any suggestions.

BTW I'm taking a break from yoyo. Just for a week or 2. I'm going to finish epsilon and annoy brian constantly to get some voice actors from the college.

Possible to add guts flying out of the humans? sort of like the new Cmt campaign beta where the elites had these purple dots spray out if you shot them?

I just added a whole new section. The hud messages and VO are not done on it yet but the battle itself is pretty intense. 4 Waves of enemies one after the other without any break.

At the end the rocket AI's shot at me and hit a couple of grenades which chain reacted and killed them. Normally they are fucking hard to kill.
