Well, before everything got fucked up it looked like humanity was living in a post-scarcity society. When everything you could ever want is available and immortality is easily within reach I guess you start looking for stuff to keep you occupied. Weird, probably immoral, research, extreme body modification to achieve a subjectively perfect existence, or releasing a plague that ruins everything for everybody are just some of the things that can help you maintain a sense of purpose I suppose.

If I had to do an open world Blame! game I would do something that is set in the City but is actually unrelated to the main story of the manga. You would be some guy from an advanced society (similar to Bio-electric corp) who goes out into a new recently uncovered area that has a bunch of random techno tribes and other shit in it. It would be like S.T.A.L.K.E.R, I would also make sure that the gameplay is fast as fuck, I would like to capture the speed and power of the combat scenes in the manga as much as I can while still keeping it playable.

>>159015619
No.

Retards who have no fucking idea what they're talking about started to make posts authoritatively stating that NTG are common and normal right around when the movie aired. They are wrong and will always be wrong. NTG are not normal genes and never were normal genes.

>>159015727

Net Terminal Genes are a means of accessing the Netsphere. Many different means of accessing the Netsphere were legal at one point. Net Terminal Implants exist. Net Terminal Implants are not Net Terminal Implants. Net Terminal Implants still cost a considerable amount of money.

That makes much more sense now, thanks. I've been trying to ask questions to keep discussion going since I want this thread to be up in the morning, I've been wanting to talk BLAME! for a while recently.

>>159007197
Didn't the Net Authority snatch her program from the Safeguard and repurpose her?

>>159012447
They were crazy technocultists that wanted to be the next phase of human evolution, which is why they buttfucked humanity and got the Safeguard to do most of the wetwork for them, but they fucked up because the Safeguard didn't recognize them as being legal City residents either, which was why they were so hot to find net terminal genes themselves, so they could establish total control over the City and get the Safeguard working for them directly. That was the take I got from it at any rate, they seemed to think the City was meant for them and normies were too meaty and shouldn't be allowed.

This isn't the project you think it is.This is from an already released game called NaissancE, it is a heavily blame! inspired puzzle/platformer. Not great, but there are some parts like that there webm that make it all worth it.

>>159020584
Ah, my mistake. Coulda sworn they were the same thing.

>>159021163
There were a couple of projects inspired by Blame.

http://bac9.tumblr.com/ was a direct recreation of some areas of the manga. Guy didn't update in years.
That other thing was from a game called Naissance. It's a walking simulator/platformer without any interactivity. Most of the time you walk in grey corridors also. Entire environments are made of untextured grey boxes. Some people like it, I personally don't.
And there is one project that has some similar vibes to Blame, but it's mostly it's own thing. http://www.brokendimension.com/ And the guy updates every once in a while, even streams sometimes.

What are the chances of a film trilogy riding off the success of this one that covers the Dhomochevsky arc and then the final arc afterwards? The second could end with Killy getting a chunk of the sun dropped on him before getting out of commission for a time, then there could be the post credits scene of Sanakan seeking out Cibo. The next movie would start off with Killy waking up and breaking out, then finishing it all.

>>159008090
Last I checked someone was making a walking sim

>>159004501
shoot back

>>159026003
With what?

>>159026003
That's typically a huge mistake with Killy.

>>159028309
Do you think people generally regarded him as a threat or ever seriously think they could take the guy down? Those workers from the first few chapters made me question why anyone would try attacking Killy in the first place, he'd wreck anyone's shit.

>>159030405

the environment would be a big focus, but making one or multiple large maps wouldn't cut it, I feel

the megastructure should be procedurally generated during runtime, meaning as you progress through the game
maybe a few strata, at most, should be available/unchanged at any point during the game

as the megastructure is an ever-expanding, ever-changing cancerous monster of a city, it would make perfect sense for it to go on pretty much forever and change completely at random

this would be the first big hurdle of such a game - capturing the essence of the megastructure
everything else - silicon life, safeguard, builders, humans, netsphere - would come after that

>>159036142
You understood what I meant. Are you questioning the conclusion of the proper form of the sentence?

For all we know, after the silicon Observer was done satisfying his curiosity in astronomical matters he would then start behaving like every other silicon lifeform, he would just shrug and continue spreading the plague and genocide the rest of humanity. He could end up randomly killing the last human with net genes, thus causing Killy to ultimately fail his mission. Killy had no reason to assume this particular silicon creature was not genocidal. Killy didn't have the time to psycho-analyze the Observer's motives and goals, he had to make a decision and immediately move on. He made the right choice.

>>159035756
>silicon life
>harmless
oh you
remember, these are the descendants of the Order
they are enemies of the Authority and Humanity since time immemorial, and are presumably responsible for the Netsphere going to shit

I think one of Killy's better features is that he has an unassuming appearance. He doesn't give off a badass vibe or anything Clint Eastwood-esque that would get randoms to pay attention to him. Silicon Life attack him because they attack all humans; Safeguard attack him because that's kind of their job; humans I don't think ever attack him outright until he's done something devastating that affects them.

>>159036469
It's just so weird to think about. I guess if he has power in whatever storage he has for it, he doesn't have to go through human processes to make energy and dispose of the waste, but it's really weird to think about. I know he's human and all, but he's always been a really inhuman figure to me.

>>159036420
He's an enhanced human, nothing about that suggests he's a castrati. Even Space Marines have dicks.

>>159036511
he's human by the Blame definition of it
he's likely a pretty much full-body cyborg, HUD, computation systems, extensive regenerative abilities and all

at some point I imagine Killy went through the same procedures as Musubi, and became an unstoppable immortal like that

>>159036601
No, he's human by Nihei's definition of human.

Procedural generation. Make it an mmo due to its size, and construct the city in real time. Each server has its own procedurally generated city. The procedural generation would need to be more complex than just mixing and matching a bunch of templates. The game would need to capture the size of the city. Gameplay would be survival fps where you explore the city. Servers would all have different settings. One server might have the main quest active where everyone searches for the net terminal gene while other servers might just be a sandbox to explore.

it was pretty fucked up (also hilarious). The silicon creature was doing research on the city that most lifeforms have stopped giving a fuck about comprehending.

I haven't heard them but that was very good that track. Kinda like JESU.

I guess anything like expansive and abstract-feels while still at times intense would be perfect because I mean the Killy covers thousands upon thousands of miles over what must be years or decades only to occasionally get in a few minute kiloton explosion fight with anyone who looks at him funny.

>>159054843
>I guess anything like expansive and abstract-feels while still at times intense would be perfect
It's hard for metal to manage that because of the constraints of the meaning of the genre. If you're looking for something psychotically slow and expansive, try Earth's Earth 2 or anything by Sunn O))).

>>159054988

there are some bands that can do it, Earth and Sunn among them. I would take a series where killy just walks through different levels to drone. I think the physical size and scope of the whole city is one of the most under-rated aspects,

>>159054843
>only to occasionally get in a few minute kiloton explosion fight
I figure kiloton would be on the low end

Was Killy just another cop that got really lucky (or unlucky, really) with his assignment and that's how his quest started?

>>159059911
Yes.

Please, stop the line of questioning there. It gets so argumentative and stupid when people try to contradict that piece of lore.

>>159060106
I'm just trying to keep the thread alive by asking questions.

>>159052457
There are a lot of elements in Blame that were "borrowed" from other books. Main character names, idea of a giant city that stores the minds of the dead, a distant community of mutated humans being really tall, etc.
There is a list of inspirations compiled by Nihei in one of the new books that came out lately. I believe it's in The Anthology?

how sanakan impregnated cibo?

>>159059911
Was he lucky? Was he a typical cop? I think there's reason to believe that he was a pretty special cop that deserved in some way or another his unique position as well as cyborg upgrades later on. This is especially true if we consider the Blame prototype to guess what Nihei thought of Killy.

>>159064149
The Blame prototype is not related to Blame but yeah it may be something like that.
Would have been nice if in the movies we got a prequel of all of this instead of that, because what's the point of the movie if the manga is 20 years old already?

>>159064305
Has Nihei ever stated whether Blame is canon or not? I always assumed there was a source for this information but I've never looked into it myself.

>>159004501
take the gun to my lab to better understand how it works. A portable projected maximum point gravity emitter must have at least 3 or 4 new technologies i have yet to learn. Also bring him along if he know anything else about it.

I'll repair my cyborg girl friend later, as she not really into technology and her brain casing can keep her in a hibernation state till I get around to fixing her.

In this case what the fuck would happen with the Sun? If it's like a Dyson sphere it will extract the energy of the sun somehow but it's a lot bigger than it and have more mass (I suppose), and because it's "trapped" inside of it wouldn't that create some problems?

>>159066865
Can't you make mass from energy? I'm more concerned how the fuck they extract power from it efficiently.

I think one of the best things in Blame! is the progression of time
Not even halfway throught the story, most of the humans Killy met are probably dead
Another thing is that you can actually see the progress in terms of technology from the silicon creatures, they start as butchered creatures and evolve into more sleek and perfect looking, up to this

Well Wikipedia answer some of my questions now that I searched a bit about it

If the Toha Heavy Industries thing isn't an exception to a rule, their gravity technology was nigh absolute prior to the infection. We know the Sun is still around because a chunk of it gets teleported in as an anti-Killy weapon at one point, so in theory it's at the center of the City, merrily contained in some sort of perfectly efficient power generation system that distributes not only its energy but its gravity throughout the megastructure, and whatever more is needed from it is teleported to where it needs to be, processed, and utilized as raw materials for continued construction by the unguided Builders.

It's also presumed that level of technology isn't replicate-able by the time of Blame!, like the GBE Killy walks around with in its super-efficient design.

>>159067716
>>159066606
what the hell?
doesn't Killy make it out of the city at the very end?

and in that one weird sequel one-shot we see that PCell the 8th also managed to leave the city and strike land, with Killy's incidental help of course

>>159035756
He's the same Killy in the movie, just look at the scene where he's talking with Cibo and ignoring the fisher girl.

>the progress in terms of technology from the silicon creatures, they start as butchered creatures and evolve into more sleek and perfect looking, up to this
now you're exaggerating
keep in mind the events of Blame took place throughout many years, but the Order has been evolving the Silicon Creatures for at least 3000 years, meaning since the NetSphere burst into treats

it wouldn't make sense for them to make more progress in the relatively short span of time that Blame takes place in

>>159035756
so if you bumped into a confirmed ISIS member and he was chill as hell you'd just let him off scot free while paying no mind?
gullible fuckin idiot

silicon life are even worse than terrorist organizations, their entire existence is devoted to eradicating mankind and the Safeguard

>>159069368
3000 doesn't seem like a short time tho

>>159004501
Replay a noisy record of my laugh and a project an photoshoped hologram of his dumb face for over one eon that follows him to wherever he goes. :3

>>159069489
Blame doesn't take place during 3000 years
we're talking a couple at most

NOiSE, the prequel, has the insane 3000 year timeskip, where it presumably skips ahead to where Blame started

>>159069564

you're wrong

>>159069272
It's implied he reaches the edge, allows the special snowflake Sanakan-Cibo lovechild to be born, then sticks the kid into a HAZMAT suit and starts making his way back inside with the kid in tow to find a working terminal for the kid to plug into and get the Netsphere back under human control. Once that's done, Killy spends his time reducing the Silicon Life to a level where a slowly-ascendant humanity and a working Safeguard is able to combat them to the point where the Silicon Life are nearly driven to extinction; Killy allows a single one to escape the City as an exile. Then I guess he decides the Netsphere and Safeguard aren't necessary anymore and starts some kind of team of guys who go around tearing up the conversion towers and other trappings of Netsphere-dom throughout the City.

>>159052087
what?
he was always referred to as a male

>>159069961
The Dismantler and other similar individuals may have also been a project of the now-working and/or restructured Administration/Authority structure.

>>159067242
That wasn't Silicon Creature, that was a specialized Safeguard. You can see it's specific logo and '04' designation in some panels, even. May have been something released by the SG system specifically to track and kill Killy, with the way it seems to be stalking him previously.

>>159072263
The one guy who shows up in Net Sphere Engineer doesn't seem to be nearly as potent as Killy, even his weapon's not, but he does have anti-Safeguard tech. The fact he mentions he's come to tear down the conversion tower suggests that his entire job is to decommission the Safeguard itself, which would make sense given its primary threat (Silicon Life) is gone/destroyed and the City is firmly under human control and no one's an illegal resident anymore. If that's the case, it's very possible the Net Authority is who authorized the dismantling of the Safeguard and Killy and guys like the Dismantler are working directly for the Authority. So yeah, your theory gels with what evidence we have and can infer from the dialogue in NSE.

What should I wear to get the Killy aesthetic?

Hair like that is impossible if you're keeping clean, the fringe gets too bunched together otherwise. It's not edgy enough.

I get the impression Killy's the kind of guy that gets a bath once every 25 years or so. He can't die of disease so hygiene is more a luxury than a necessity.

>>159076640
I didn't even think he needed it really, but you're right. 25 years must be like a few hours to him. Reminds me, I always thought his clothes were a part of him because he could grow them back along with whatever else. How does that work? He still manages to change outfits every now and then, too.

>>159077394
He mentions in the electrofishers arc that his outfit is some sort of specialized composite plastic. It might have some sort of nanite self-repairing mechanism or adaptive appearance quality.

>>159069564

Given the relevant info we have, Killy WALKS across a good portion of the solar system.

when is the release date for the next movie??

>>159080310
Not only that, it wouldn't be as bad as if it was walking in a straight line across the solar system, instead he has to wander around extremely convoluted planes layered on top of each other, beginning a new journey to the next layer each time. And sometimes it takes forever to find a way up. If it was a straight line directly to the edge of the city, it would be too simple and with far less suffering than there is. I wonder how his knees feel.

Given all the circumstances, if Nihei were to come right out and say over 10,000 years passed with Killy since he first began his quest, I wouldn't even blink.

This thread made me go watch the movie again and pick up the manga. If I am to understand the author has works that are prequels to this right?
