A member working on Derelict came to me with an idea, and I had no idea of who to ask about it. It's an awesome idea, one that would be a very useful.

The idea was: After each NIS, the NIS is saved. When you open the In-Game menu, a new option "PlayBack Scenes" is available. When you open it, a list of NIS' appears. Each one is named specifically by the developer, like "Forest Ambush", for example. You select it, and the game pauses, and plays the NIS. If you hit escape, the NIS ends, and you go back to the game. The same thing happens when the NIS is over.

Note that I know that because they are live action movies, NIS' can only be played back after it's been recorded. So, when you reach a new NIS in the game, that NIS is added to the list.

I am wondering if this is even possible, and maybe if someone is willing to help me work on it, granted it is possible. This would make a big impact on storyline driven siegelets like Lands of Hyperborea, and *cough* Derelict. If you walk away from the computer, or accidently hit escape, or miss a line, you can always play it again.

What are your thoughts?
