The Yautja Norn sprites being fully rendered, all that's really left now is to resize the images (and finish the genome, but that's another story). At this stage I'm faced with a question that I thought would be best answered by the community:

The Predators in the movies are tall, as in 7-9 feet tall. It only makes sense that a Predator Norn should be a little taller than regular Norns, and I think it would be pretty cool if they were about Sabertooth height.

This raises an interesting question, though, because taller Norns create certain problems in the game--like autokilling certain doors when the Norns try to go through them. I don't mind this kind of thing, but I know other people feel differently. I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinions.

Do you prefer smaller Norns that don't stand out in a crowd, because it's better than worrying about agent malfunctions? Or taller Norns that may require a restricted range but have the advantage of being unique in more than just color and genome?

I'll continue working on the genome in the mean time, but I'd like to have a good feel for what people think before I continue with the sprites. Although I always love to see tall Norns, I'd rather not make a large breed if most people find it to be a hassle. :)

Normal size is far better I think. I love your sabertooths, but they get realy anoying when you try to breed them, so please, yautjas will look much better normal size.

Sam has a very valid point. It does cause problems with breeding I hear...

I prefer normal size because of the above mentioned reasons. A tiny bit bigger is okay, but not something like the converted CP norns :P

I'm with the others - if the breed was smaller then that'd avoid any problems. Though because they are Predator Norns, would it harm to make them just a tiny bit taller than the other Norns, like ylukyun suggested? I think that would help make them look more distinctive in a crowd of normal-sized Norns. :)

How about like with sprite norns, have help to make them in both? I prsonaly think normal norn size is far better, but it seems the other idea is a power as well.

Edit: I started a poll for your aid Ghosthande. Input should be quicker that way.

I hope you don't mind, Sam, but I changed where you put "A few CMs taller" to "A few MMs taller" because I'm sure millimetres is what you really meant? A few centimetres taller and those Norns wouldn't just be autokilling the doors - they'd be making holes in the metaroom ceiling! :P

Like if a normal norn was 120 CM and the CV nrns are 200cm, then these would be 132cm.


And Sam, it's Laura, not Lana.

I think I would pass out if I saw a 200cm norn XD Especially a tiger norn. Those are freaky.

200cm is hard. XD
1 inch ~ 2.54 cm, so 200cm Norns would be a bit larger than the most real persons :P

Then divide it by twenty and you'll get the point. :P
