To be honest, we'd just love to see shit that:
1. Isn't a cardboard box joke. The gimmick is getting played out, real fast...
2. Involves characters other than Snake. There's a ton of other characters in the series that have a lot of potential. At this moment, Utah is really the only one I've seen who's most likely not going to use Snake, so his submission might look out of place if others don't do the same.
3. Doesn't use the MGS theme song, if it's constantly used as a background song, it'll get pretty annoying during the collaboration. The soundtracks have tons of music and ambient tracks you could choose from.
I hope people read this...
LOL! You can rest assured that I'm not using any of those cliches. And I though no one would like mine since none of them have Snake in them. My first one involves Revolver Ocelot, and the second is an ad from Arms Tech to sell Metal Gear Rex. Haven't made up my mind on what I want to do for my third one, since I keep changing my mind.
This forum has also been a double edged sword, since I can get feedback on my ideas, but it also makes me more indecisive since I see ideas from other people that I was going to do, so I have to drop them for originality's sake. As for the music, I've really only one song from MGS, and it's the game over music. I'm using it to intro the Arms Tech logo, which I have being writen on the screen the same way the Game Over screen appears in MSG 1. It's a really nice effect, and probably the best flash work I've done to date.
This is my last day of work before I get time off, so I'll be able to put more work into what I've got. Be ready for some screen shots tomorrow afternoon.
