sometimes you do have to remember that kh is a videogame designed to be played first and foremost. so many 'odd' seeming decisions make a lot more sense when you take this into consideration. that and just the realities of game dev and having a budget and resource constraints lol
like do people know that the biggest reasons for worlds to be included or excluded from a game has nothing to do with its story or disney or popularity and often just has to do with the game environment/setting being different enough from the other worlds they've chosen lol.
like this is why jungle book keeps getting cut, because they pick other (better) worlds with jungle environments over it every time for the final roster, as an example.

had some very plot-y dreams last night!
I was an alien who was disguised as a human. I think I had come to earth as some kind of invading force years and years ago - my lifespan was pretty long actually, so I was only about the equivalent of my early 20s still but I'd been on earth long enough that I looked more middle-aged.
Which was appropriate, because the reason I had bailed/was in hiding is because I had fallen in love with my beautiful wife. She had died, so I was raising our half-alien son by myself and was probably the definition of Overprotective Parent
I never saw what I looked like, but there was a point in the dream where my son was in his alien form. It was actually very beautiful - he looked like he was made of colorful gemstones or glass rather than flesh and blood
But the whole dream's plot hinged on me finding what was apparently some kind of like, alien rehabilitation program where they took someone and made them human and made them experience life as a human as some kind of penance/rehab?
And there was a dude who I recognized as like. a Big Bad species, that I was CONVINCED had a) no ability to feel remorse, b) would indiscriminately kill everyone, and c) was very very dangerous and also in the same town as my son
so I started like, hanging around?? To try and catch this dude being Evil and also making sure everyone was staying The Fuck Away from my kid, right? except this dude just kind of. didn't do anything evil. stone cold poker face and no showing emotions, but no like, killing or anything
at some point into this dream, we find out about a bomb that is under the chair of one of the group, which consists of me, This Guy, and some squishy humans. My goal is to make sure that if the bomb goes off, it goes off with the other alien bc his species is very invulnerable to things like that
long story short, I ended up with the bomb and driving away and got. really really hurt. and the evil alien? he ran over, covered my wounded body with his own, and someone transferred half of my wounds to him and in doing so he saved my life
so... not as evil (or as emotionless) as I thought, clearly
The rest is fuzzy, but I know I let him see that I had a son at one point, though I didn't directly introduce them.
Honestly the whole dream kind of felt like it had a vague enemies to friends to lovers plot going on as we both explored more of his background and history and emotions, and as we revealed the fact that I had once been kind of a bad guy honestly before falling in love with my wife.
something something, second chances
then i had an entirely different dream where I was a princess who accidentally defeated a dragon and bound him to me in human form lol

in the process of figuring out designs for W.G characters except the only two I can think of are the founders, who just so happen to look similar to Jeff Goldblum and George Clooney. However they have no names yet so I refer to them by the actor’s names, which gets really confusing because it sounds like I’m rambling about evil gay yaoi between Jeff Goldblum and George Clooney.

i hate when dreams have a premise that is deeply upsetting and fucked up objectively but /within the dream/ it feels fine and normal. like what is my subconscious trying to say to me here?

i keep seeing posts about the early access dream lover vs the final game dream guardian.... another unpopular opinion i guess but i honestly think the dream guardian is a cooler approach for the pro tadpole plot and im personally really glad they overhauled that (especially because the dream lover isn't really lost, the guardian CAN be your lover if you want after all). - i just think the dream lover was too much in your face. obviously this is subjective, but the couple scenes we got in ea never had any real temptation to them, no mystery. you knew what you were getting yourself into, it was a bit black and white to me. you either loved the idea of world domination or you didn't. i'm not saying one is better or worse, but to me the guardian adds a layer of mystery the dream lover lacked. and with that comes potential temptation. could the dream guardian really be helping us? could not outright rejecting the tadpole really be a good thing? or maybe we saw through the guardian from the start and want all that power on our own. the dream guardian opens up more roleplaying potential and i like that.
