The game contains the largest open world of all time, exceeding the pitiful size of ''Grand Theft Auto VI's'' pathetic world 99x (times). Players complete various objectives in order to progress through the story. In the game, the player controls over 16,777,216+ characters, including a sad virgin chud [[Jax|{{color|D52C69|<u>who's somehow still better than their canon counterpart</u>}}]]. The player can switch between any of the available playable characters at any time, similar to ''Grand Theft Auto V'' or ''Grand Theft Auto VI'', with the only exception being when the player is actively engaged in combat and the character they want to switch to is not in the same fight. When traversing the various open worlds, they all feature real-time, fast-paced 3D “stylish” action role-playing platforming gameplay, set in a default third-person perspective but players can switch to first person if so desired. The overall mode prioritizes exploration and platforming. It includes components similar to those found in ''Kingdom Hearts'' games, ''Dark Souls'' games, ''Bloodborne'', ''Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice'', the ''Final Fantasy VII'' remake trilogy, and the ''Devil May Cry'' series. Players can freely explore multiple dimensions and its hundreds of universes. The open world is explored by foot but also allows the use of vehicles or mounts as a primary mode of transportation, similar to ''Grand Theft Auto'' and ''Red Dead Redemption''. However, players can use fast travel outside of combat. Aside from central areas, the game features extensive optional regions, including many hidden dungeons where players can fight mini-bosses and gather helpful items. Billions of checkpoints are located throughout the game. In these places, the party can enter camp mode, where everyone can relax. These checkpoints are also the specific coordinates that one can travel to using fast travel. Upon death, players respawn at the checkpoint they last interacted with. Alternatively, they may choose to respawn at specific locations highlighted by traditional checkpoints provided they died nearby, which are usually found in boss encounters or long dungeons. Combat Mode is triggered when interacting with specific enemies and or bosses throughout the game which basically turns those battles into turned-base combat with real-time elements and quick time events. | ||
There are also side-scrolling platformer sections similar in-vain to the fan-game ''Mushroom Kingdom Fusion'' but much more expanded. The player enters "Level Mode" when entering a level which all are scattered all across the open world. The levels in question feature a modified Mario-style design characterized by their difficulty and overall progression. Just like regular gameplay, characters can change their moveset to be utterly different from their base ones. For example, Mario’s default moveset can be changed with equipment to resemble that of Mega Man or King Dedede. Some levels are so massive they become their own Metroidvania-style levels. | There are also side-scrolling platformer sections similar in-vain to the fan-game ''Mushroom Kingdom Fusion'' but much more expanded.

Super Jangle 64 was initially conceived as a simple sequel to the SNES video game ''46 Elgnaj Repus'' and '''<span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg,#15926f,#d0ffea); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Newwenmani</span>''' wanted to integrate the lore of [[Sir JD Knudson]] and [[C.O. Wheezer]]'s ''CrösS;OVEr'' series to the sequel. Originally, there was never any intention of having any time-skip, and this entire saga would have practically been the <span style="text-shadow: 1px 2px 9px black;"><span style="color:white;">𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝘀</span></span>, <span style="text-shadow: 1px 2px 9px white;"><span style="color:black;font-family:Papyrus;">'''Dark Prognosticus'''</span></span>, and beyond combined. It started development after the game’s immediate success after release in 1994 for the upcoming sixth-generation consoles and the recently released PlayStation. One of the company’s executive producers, Liam Allen, wanted the next main game to have the central theme of “life and death” dating back to a tragic fever dream he had in 1994 after his mother passed away. After which, he always wanted to explore the theme of “life and death” in a “mathematical and logical way to overcome the mental shock.” In the dream, he also saw the ending of what he called "The Greatest Story ever and never told" and was determined to create it. | |||
Allen put KMJ-081, Ozzie2009, and The Loathsome Dung Eater in charge to develop the sequel while also giving them a team in order for them to help him achieve his magnum opus. Many people who previously worked on ''46 Elgnaj Repus'' returned to join and work on the new project, and though several people left, the team still grew in size. They forwent the usual prototyping phase and went straight into development, expecting to create something unprecedented. Ozzie said at the time that he wanted to make the game like a Hollywood film. The team knew from the get-go that its game version would be a 3D open-world game. The project began under the working title "Project W Noah." | |||
[[File:Projectnoah.jpg|left|frameless|The logo for "Project Noah."]]<br><br><br><br> | |||
====<big><u>Story and Writing</u></big>==== | |||
KMJ conceived the premise of Project W Noah as a "detective story where the city was the main character." He envisioned a hack, small-time, womanizing private investigator, who would become engrossed in a big murder case, and the story would unfold from a young female clerk at a flower shop who would slowly recall parts of a story consequential to the plot. Thus, the city would grow. This idea of a "single place changing over time" was central to Project W Noah. He saw previous games as "road trip movies" with little reason for the hero to backtrack to earlier areas and instead wanted the player to see a setting grow dynamically over time.[[File:Image-asset.jpg|thumb|162x162px|Ágota Kristóf]] | |||
Later, the initial literary inspiration was one of KMJ’s once again from one of the series of books he read known as ''The Notebook Trilogy'' by Hungarian writer Ágota Kristóf. KMJ suggested to the other co-directors that he wanted to pay tribute to Kristóf’s story by implementing the major plot twist into this story, which was the “betrayal of the narrator” which “[betrayed] the audience” from the third book: ''The Third Lie''. He also found the two protagonist twins as a major factor to the themes of the trilogy so he insisted that the theme of twins would be an essential theme for the entire game. Ozzie and the Dung Eater liked KMJ’s suggestions so much that they decided to expand on the themes in ''The Notebook Trilogy'' by introducing more existential philosophies into the story. These philosophies included the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and Carl Jung. The two also wanted to include dystopian elements such as those found from ''THX 1138'', ''Soylent Green'', and ''Childhood’s End''. According to Ozzie, the original rough draft idea for the story that would become what the game is known now was invented by Ozzie after hearing KMJ’s analysis of ''The Notebook Trilogy''. The original concept was a story about “a young soldier of fortune with multiple personalities.” According to her, the story’s theme revolved around “where do we come from, what are we, and where are we going”. The game’s story was enough of a departure from the predecessor that the development team questioned whether fans would even consider it a sequel or even part of the same franchise.[[File:Original-3546149-1.jpg|thumb|151x151px|The most over talked about men on Reddit.]] | |||
Allen would come along and request the team that the story would show at least one realistic death rather than a "Hollywood" sacrificial death. Ozzie and the Dung Eater conceived everyone that the entire game should have at the very least ten “chapters,” or “acts,” or “books,” in order to structure the game’s story to correspond to the mystical and abstract Tree of Life found within Kabbalah which resulted in the game's overarching story's dividations being named "emanations." Furthermore, each emanation would have varied game mechanics in the game. Ozzie and the Dung Eater described the story as "normal" for its beginning, leading to a "triple-play twist." Another theme that the Dung Eater introduced was the reckless appearance and "uncomfortable beauty" of chimera—multiple creatures fused into one—which was the idea behind the metallic and wooden antagonists known as the Metarex. | |||
====<big><u>Gameplay</u></big>==== | |||
After finishing one of his games in 1994, [[File:CalebBurnsGames.png|160x160px|link=User:CalebBurnsGames]] wanted to create a new game with an experimental and avant-garde concept. The game he wanted to make was based on his waifu's recent fascination with conspiracy theories, with concepts like governmental censorship being major topics he wanted to explore in his new game. Caleb also considered cyberpunk influences from around 1978 when Caleb participated in a ''Dungeons & Dragons'' campaign created and led by Bruce Sterling. After that, he realized that he wanted to create a video game that didn’t fit a specific genre and where any player could choose how to play the game the way they wanted to, unlike most games at the time, which he found very saturated. | |||
In his proposal to a bunch of shitty companies, he described the concept as a dystopian and futuristic setting with “big-budget, nonstop action” starring an ex-cop detective. He described the project as “high” risk for its “technological unknowns” as “probably the toughest project on his wish list.” Unsurprisingly, it failed to get picked up. He later left all the companies he used to work for and founded his own damn company. He would later produce [[Capa Simulator 2015|''Capa Simulator 2015'']] in 2011 while keeping the original idea he had in 1994 for an avant-garde video game in mind. Caleb simply wrote that the timing was not yet ripe because the business teams were not interested, the technology was not yet feasible, he did not have an interested team or the resources to make one, and publishers did not want a “cross-genre game.” Caleb, himself, was also tired of unrealistic fantasy and alien settings. Frustrated with his own company full of NPCs, Caleb sought employment elsewhere to create the perfect sequel to ''Capa Simulator 2015'' and his dream project and was nearly about to sign a contract with the evil EA when Liam Allen approached him. Allen was looking for a talented gameplay director to help develop the very challenging and experimental Project W Noah, which led to him wanting to hire Caleb. When Allen offered him a chance to make his “gameplay visions” into reality without any financial restrictions, Caleb was immediately on board. | |||
====<big><u>Characters and Art</u></big>==== | |||
Allen <s>kidnapped</s> hired various artists like Ninespit and [[User:SmilyCookieBone|SmilyCookieBone]] to draw the character designs. The <s>enslaved</s> subdivision used a system where everyone put out plans regardless of their section. While every <s>slave</s> artist handed in text documents they had made on a computer, one of the artist's were handwritten and illustrated. Allen thought the illustrated proposals were amusing and chose that specific artist to draw the characters. The first original characters the specific artist created for the story were Willem and Chtholly. | |||
{{Quote|At the very start of development, the scenario wasn't complete yet, but I went along like, 'Well there’s the detective and a girl, and from there, I drew the designs while thinking up details about the characters. After I finished the two main characters, I carried on drawing by thinking what kind of characters would be interesting to have. When I handed over the designs, I'd tell people the character details I'd thought up or write them down on a separate sheet of paper.|S.O.S.}} | |||
Similar to ''46 Elgnaj Repus'', which had an ensemble cast, the sequel would be no different. The two initial characters were Willem, a cowboy in the vein of Clint Eastwood, and his love interest, Chtholly. Originally in 1994, the game was to include over 200,000 playable characters and span over thousands of years with its story based around the mysterious antagonist force known as the Noah Army (otherwise known as the Millennians), which attempts to use "primitive machinery to enslave all intelligent life in existence." The specific artist also helped create some of the basic story outlines, and also helped the team come up with the other characters during that time. | |||
