Change of Plans

Ever since Bioshock Infinite came out, I've been reevaluating my plans for Crystal Crypt. I've decided that if I get the chance, I will share my ideas for the project with Irrational Games, to be used as the basis for another game in the Bioshock series, carrying the subtitle Overload. Of course, the story would be drastically altered.

HELIOS would be replaced by New York City, in the year 2045. The city will have become the capital of the North Atlantic Republic, one of numerous nations formed from the dissolution of the United States of America. This republic has instituted a reverse-Communist policy in which citizens recieve absolutely no aid from the government and must live on what they can earn in a hard day's work. This system is meant to create a society composed solely of a hard-working middle class. However, certain circumstances create the opportunity fo the formation of upper and lower classes. Resentments between the new classes led to the formation of the North Atlantic Republic Peacekeeping Corps, or NARPeC.

Calvin Korman will become Calvin "Dragon" Drake, captain of NARPeC's elite Fifth Company, assigned to eliminate potential threats to the ciy's safety.

The PSIGauntlet is no more, replaced by a matrix of crystals in your left arm. However, the system of three basic energy types used in pairs will remain. Due to the unstable nature of the crystals, you are at first unable to do anything with them. Upon reaching a medic, you recieve a device called a Charger. This is how you apply new abilities.

More details soon to follow. Until then, I'll see y'all later!
