Huh, so that means I'll have to develop two reality packs for the stories,
one with the human Jim and the one with the porcupine Jim. Same for
the "Polecat Paintball*" game I am codeveloping. Of course, no license
by Jim has been issued, so it is not released, not even in beta form.
It would have you choose either world, or for an insane game, both worlds.
Pit Human Jim against Porcupine Jim! Each character would have a
"special move" that spice the game up a little. A game variation would
have a "shower zone," so players can clean off the paint and return
to action- no elimination, just tag counts under a timed game.
Since "Of Skunks and Dragons: Pt3**" has not been released, I can make
changes. Currently the storyline is fixed to introduce the human Jim into
the DragonTales world, but I can change it to go in the other direction.
I just tested the idea, it just won't work. It'll have to be a different
scenario, but I want to avoid getting into the overused "Mirror, Mirror"
Star Trek cliche. Human Jim meets Porcupine Jim: bad idea, right?
I wonder what are the major differences, and if there's time, minor
differences between the two storylines, aside what you just
mentioned already?

** Pt 1: Skunks buy scale and go to DragonLand, Pt 2: Des goes to visit,
Pt 3: Jim goes to see why the girls aren't hellions anymore, Pt 4: Des
takes the scale to work, Pt 5: Several months after Pt 4's events - the
girls are back to their bad selves again, Pt 6: A happy reunion, Pt 7: Des
sends the scale off to its next recipient.
This storyline introduces Onika and co. after Pt 4. It fits so much better
that way. All of the dialogue is witten down pat except for Pt. 4 and 7
Pt. 7 is still in storyboard mode.
