Oh, the lore stuff is really interesting, and I'd love to learn more, but before I get into that, I want to clear out something. When I said they give off a GITS, I meant it as in they are so purpose-specific that they look alien, and I thought GITS did that best until now. Your stuff surpassed GITS, if you ask me. Anyways, I've read the text on Intel entries, and man, I am already hooked on the lore (though I am also a bit sad because I had something slightly similar in mind, at least with East Germany, but oh well). The part about the people being tall because of Mars's nature and having their muscles enhanced is really cool; I thought she was enhanced like a Halo Spartan or an AC pilot. But may I throw out an idea? Since the government can change people's DNA before birth, why not make something really fucked up out of that? Let's say a region is more aggressive towards the government and is rebellious. The government could just trigger genes that make the person more docile. or wants to cause a small race war for political reasons so they can just trigger genes that make the person more aggressive. Long story short, the government can influence the population in the exact ways they desire, and that is a true nightmare and could be a cool subplot or lore bit if you want to. 


And on an unrelated note, I am basically in love with how design is handled. I am glad that even though Val is ripped, her muscles and proportions are not bloated (I don't know how to explain it; all that comes to my mind is that exaggerated proportions reduce believability and just look grotesque). keep up the good work man, you are awesome (sorry if i am invasive, i am just super excited)

That's very kind, thank you. I personally don't think I've surpassed Masamune Shirow's genius design work though, haha.

There's actually going to be an East German crawler tank in the game eventually, it'll be six legged. Something you'll encounter near Soviet controlled regions later on.

I considered working that into the plot, at least being part of the motivation for rebellion being some Martians see themselves as separate from the people of Earth due to their enhanced genes. It might show up, or not.

It's a fun idea, but I'm not sure if it works for the tone I'm going for. The chemical grubs on the other hand would fit well for a similar conspiracy, they could've been specifically engineered to eventually grow giant and dangerous in order to arm Mars and cause conflict.

There's definitely a sweet spot between athletic and too muscular. I tried to get it just in the middle. It also looks a bit more exaggerated due to the limited color palette, in full color I'll be able to make her physique more subtle.
