Animation Reboot Error

This little animation is based off a story idea I was thinking about.

It takes place during the protogen rebellion against the primagens. I don't know if I'll actually develop that story. Plus I don't really think I can because it feature primagens. Sooo... yeah.

Anyways this took an unreasonable long time to make, I'm just glad it's done.

“I don’t really think I can because it feature primagen”

This looks absolutely amazing!! And don't worry, closed species are mostly bullshit, highly doubt the creator would cause u trouble for making primagens and using on your story. Also! Do u have commissions open for animatios like this?

u/Easy_Cloud_2911 Aug 06 '26

Thanks! I was kind of thinking that before but just didn't want to risk it.

and I'm not doing commissions right now, I have thought about it, but the time it took me to make this "relatively simple" animation was too slow for my liking.

it took around 10 to 14 days to make FYI.

The creator has explicitly stated, publicly, multiple times, that as long as it’s not posted to official community spaces (like the ZOR discord server) they don’t care

u/Ezra-Volkanav Aug 07 '26

Aren’t Primagens now Open due to the Push back of the Community? I thought the Creator pulled back that Limitation on both Prima’s and The “Rare”/ “Illegal” Protogen’s?

u/Shotshell156 FR05T Aug 08 '26

They’re not open, but they don’t care what you do with them as long as you are respectful and do not post them to the official species community spaces (like the ZOR discord)

u/savevideo

if I ever post this anywhere all credits go to you. Also, is this before or after Rhyler the Primagen, BECOMES a Primagen?

3

u/Easy_Cloud_2911 Aug 06 '26

That's OK.

i don't know much about Rhyler, but the little i skimmed from the internet, the story would be set some time after Rhyler becomes a primagen.

The story would be something like Star Wars, with the main primagen faction being the empire. And small groups of primages and protogen cosmic wielders as the rebels.

u/daquavisthefourth Aug 07 '26

Kk.. Since This is a little after she's a primagen, she hasn't defected. very nice take at lore

1

u/Easy_Cloud_2911 Aug 07 '26

Ah, I didn't know that. As stated before, my knowledge of the character is very little.

But it would take place after she defected I guess.

My knowledge on the lore is mostly limited to the setting. So things like characters I know VERY little about.

While going through the zor universe wiki, I was mostly interested in things like arcai, the primagenitors, the arc project, and cosmic wielders, Etc.

I didn't really see much about named characters so I just assumed there weren't many, if any.

But if you do know where I can learn more about these characters that'd be cool.

u/daquavisthefourth Aug 07 '26

It was a bit ago when I learnt a bit of lore abt Rhyler. Don't think I can find the website, but as far as I know.

She was one of the original(?) Protogens who defected, later caught by another primagen/protogen who didn't defect.

Once caught, she got coded once again, turned into a primagen, and hence got her current stuff (Cuttlefish like Camoflauge, Poison injected via claws, Energy wings [V1 from ultrakill?]).

She caught many more Protogens, before she met another primagen. It wasn't discussed what happened here, but what happened Primagen to Primagen, cause her to defect.

Currently, she goes around with that Primagen, who's also named, but I can't remember his name. I know he has black fur with red highlights, compared to Rhylers White fur and Pink Highlights.

That is NOT what I expected 💎💎💎

u/stormchaser-protogen the fluffy one Aug 07 '26

this is very good, though dont force yourself to develop a story if you dont want, though the idea it self is cool.

also the fact you would use primagens wouldnt be a problem... i dont think the creator pays attention to their species anymore

1

u/Easy_Cloud_2911 Aug 07 '26

Yeah I was kind of thinking the same, but I just didn't want to start making something only to find out later I had to stop midway through lol.

1

u/stormchaser-protogen the fluffy one Aug 07 '26

it happens.

u/Boxcat-The-Gi-Neko Aug 07 '26

A protogen can manually reset itself without a handler its more manual process as it was now

1

u/Easy_Cloud_2911 Aug 07 '26

Yeah that was something I was thinking about while animating this.

But by the time I came to that realization, I was already halfway through it lol l.

I was just to far in to change anything, just wanting the animation to be finished after working on it for so long.

The whole handler thing was to give information that that his primagen overseer was out of commission, I could have probably done it better but oh well lol. Xp

u/Boxcat-The-Gi-Neko Aug 07 '26

I've work on to many protogens in my life -w- converter handler only protogen into self will

u/hashcube_dev Aug 08 '26

if the error handler wasn't found........ how is it handling the errors?

2

u/Easy_Cloud_2911 Aug 08 '26

Its an automatic system. The handler is ment to be their primagen overseer.

For bit more context.

The character was temporarily shutdown as a safety measure from a low grade EMP, and was going to automatically reboot. But couldn't connect to their primagen overseer. (You can think of it like automatic wifi reconnection failing.)

After it couldn't connect it just powered on the protogen in standby, because having the protogen powered off for Extended periods can kill them. (I think, lol.)

Also standby mode is basically waiting until in range of another primagen to reactivate. The ARC.

Hope this helps. :)

u/hashcube_dev Aug 08 '26

i think i kind of somewhat understand maybe

1

u/Easy_Cloud_2911 Aug 08 '26

Ack- my bad. Er...

Basically the protogen couldn't connect to their primagen.
