Crazy idea time inspired by:
An Easter Egg character, who doesn't necessarily have to be me (honestly, being a shot type is enough to feed my ego), unlockable after beating Extra, whose two shot types are Tengu gales (Ammy) and possibly Nobu if he were to not be an Extra stage midboss. Or something. I do think the idea of an unlockable playable is neat-o, though, which is why I'd like to bring it up now so you can shoot it down or some such.
What? But that's a stupid id--
and possibly Nobu
This is brilliant. Implement this immediately. But seriously, I think the idea of unlockable PCs as a neat idea, but one to be considered after the foundations of the game that we have so far are closer to completion. Because tacking on another PC, esp. with two shot types, means 2 more scripts to be made + endings and extra programming time.
There are a ton of extra awesome ideas we have and probably will come up with before this game is completed, but we have to draw the line somewhere else this turn into vaporware, y'know? :< Though an unlockable PC can be added in later once the main game is close to complete, if people think its worthwhile to work on. Or hell, that's something entirely possible for an Ijiyatsu 1.5 add on release or something like that. :V
This is definitely an idea to hold onto though, it is neat. (We'll have to figure out a way to organize these kinds of ideas in one place to have easy access to down the line)
