Mission Architect Question

Posted

Forgive me if this is the wrong place for this question, but I'm wondering something.

I want to create a mission arc that pokes fun at the godawful Twilight novels. Do I have to change names and such, or can I do straight out satire?

Thanks!

That's what I thought. Just wanted to check! Thanks so much!

Technically, I believe even "satire" is frowned upon if its acorn doesn't fall far enough away from the tree - not that that's stopped anyone before. This has to do with copyright matters and as usual they're pretty strident about such things (not that I blame them). But I'm sure with a little thought you could still pull off a good satire without breaking any obvious rules.

I didn't change the names much in act III of "Why We Fight" (#253990)....

I would be leery of doing what you did. It's a single critter in a single mission so that's probably why you got away with it, but I would suggest erring on the side of caution.

It isn't necessary to use the names either; if you create an angst-ridden vampire with a sparkle aura and nothing to angst about, everyone will know what you're mocking.

Is there a way to add auras to custom characters in AE?? I haven't stumbled across a way to do that, but it would really be helpful if there is!

Thanks!

Yer darn tootin' there is! You should find a bar for "auras" down at the bottom of the column ("Head", "Upper Body", etc.) in the costume editor. I believe you do have to pay some tickets to unlock them however, so if you don't see it there, that may be why.

Oh thank you!! I will have to go buy that, because this will be soooooo much better with sparkly auras!!! Thank you, again!!!
