These recent discussions involving him, kind of give me a new appreciation for Cole(just a little bit), I mean I don't want to give it to him like the other fella on the thread, but he is fairly interesting, even if he is kinda pathetic, a character so flawed has it's own charm after all.

Though, I've been thinking about him and the wards as a whole, i know HERO as an organization is far from being truly heroic, as Deus himself has pointed with disdain, but, I feel a little weird than some the Captains, especially Malik(or rather only him, I mean, Nyx for instance surely wouldn't give a fuck) were okay with Xanthe experimenting with a bunch of orphans, since, I think is safe to assume they all knew, since all of that taked place within one of HEROs base, an a lieutenant of Kronos go to stop Ella when she freed the wards.

Though, perhaps was something Xanthe did under the table?, with just some selected squads knowing?, is hard to tell.

Coming back to Cole though, reading his card, i think he might have benefited from having been mentored by Malik, their powers/monster parents are different of course, but are close enough for Cole to having learned some useful stuff, like his fourth evo literally gave him a technique similar to one of Malik's(seekers same name and all), and even more than that, I'm sure Malik could probably be a good foster parent, and Cole may have ended as a cool dude instead of being a little sociopath with delusions of grandeur

Are they different though. We never find out what monster parent Malik has, so for all we know him and Cole share the same one.

Nah, Malik monster parent is listed as unnamed, and I'm sure WeirdWorld would have already mentioned the Cherufe being the Monster that got Malik too as a curiosity by now.

Besides, Cole's power is more about 'heat' as a whole, Malik has Pyrokinesis, is similar on some functions but at core is different, and I don't think evolution would branch a power to such degree

The mutation might actually make their powers vastly different but I don't think they share the same monster from what I remember Malik's monster was completely fodder and is still unknown to us.

I mean, Liz and Amber have completely different powers despite having the same monster parent and neither having undergone evolution yet. This shows that even with the same monster parent, two superhumans' abilities can wildly vary.

When the Mc meets Malik for the first time in the cafeteria, he asks him how he feels about HERO, if the player says he hates being imprisoned in the base for a month and forced to join, Malik's response to that was that they could have changed their recruitment process and he implied that it was better for superhumans to band together regardless of how that comes about. So, if Xanthe tells the others that the wards powers which are connected to their lifeforce are unstable due to their young age and they will need additional treatment and operations to increase the likelihood of their successful I think Malik would agree to it. He might not agree to every operation or experiment Xanthe has in mind and might have his own reservations, but he did seem willing to accept Xanthe experimenting on humans to create superhumans didn't he? Considering the fact that Xanthe's understanding of monster compatibility is a result of decades of human experimentation, I think as long as it's for the greater good Malik will bitterly accept certain brutal decisions.

Supposedly it was for their own good. During the flashback, Xanthe says something about how this was necessary to Cole, because his body wouldn't be able to handle his power otherwise.

Yo, how's it going?

Thanks for being so patient, it's been a tough past month. Unfortunately, I gotta get you to wait a little longer. There's a bit of a long story behind it, but I'll go into it a bit with you guys so that we're all square.

First off, a straightforward dev problem was that there was a fuckload of bugs in this update that I don't really understand. No idea what I did to fuck the code so hard, but it's taking me a bit to figure out, longer than I was hoping honestly. Usually dealing with bugs only takes a day or two, the shit I code is real simple, just basically the functions of the engine. But yeah, this time not so much.

But to be honest, that issue is pretty minor, the real problem is that it delayed me into the second, big issue. Remember when I said I had environmental troubles a bit ago? Yeah, we'll they fucked me in some pretty unexpected ways. My power has been all kinds of fucked lately, going on and off, shorting at random times. That alone would be enough of a fucking pain in the ass, but it was just the tip of the iceburg as the last time my power fucked itself, it fried half my shit. My hard drive got nuked, including a bunch of really important files and.... all of this next update. So, yeah. Really got fucked on that one. I have backed up earlier versions, but about a month of work just got nuked, so I'm a bit behind schedule. Really behind schedule, actually.

On top of that, due to environmental problems, my house got flooded, which is cool now, it was a while ago. But I've got some damage all over the joint and I got people coming in and out of the house, fixing shit and the power. So it's pretty difficult for me to work right now. I can still do it, but It's kind of awkward drawing tits with motherfuckers walking back and forth behind me.

Next issue is kind of weird. Around where I am, there's a lot of nature shit, trees and stuff, including a lot of animals. And due to the big environmental stuff, they've all kind of gone crazy. Having lizards and frogs and shit in my backyard isn't super weird, but this time I had a big ass fucking snake and it bit me while I was mowing the lawn. So, yeah, I'm kinda not feeling too good. I plan on going to the hospital pretty soon after I post this, but it's gonna be a bit rough.

Mostly due to my next problem. My car is fucked, wind blew down a big fucking tree outside my house and it clipped the bitch, smashed my windshield. Was going to get an uber or something, but the guy I called never fucking showed up. The ambulance was even worse, apparently a meteor hit the hospital just a few hours ago, so there's all kinds of shit going on there. I'm not sure what I'll do, I'll probably have to walk.

Anyway, thanks for being so patient. I appreciate it. I know it sucks but that's just life sometimes.

But yeah, April Fools. You wouldn't believe the crunch I had to go through to get the game ready in time for this retarded joke. I'm unironically a step away from just shooting myself in the face.

Tried a different, less extreme memory cruncher to save from having to do a compressed and uncompressed version. Should be good quality but at a decent size, so let me know if you think it looks good.

Anyway, here it is. Click for pc or for mac. This has both if the other links don't work for you.
