(Very long post with rambles)

Animator Vs Animation and Oneshot both have concepts of AI being “tamed”, but have different ways they’re carried out.

Chosen being tamed meant he was a prisoner and he wasn’t treated well at all. If it weren’t for him being trapped, the “taming” wouldn’t stick. Later Chosen has a chance and frees himself, fighting back against Alan again.

But in Oneshot taming means someone took the time to become friends and care about the robots, and it sticks because they want it to. This type of taming somehow allows them to break out of their programming. They’re “tamed” by friendship because someone cares about them. They probably don’t have to follow the Laws of Robotics anymore (the three laws are brought up in the game).

ProphetBot says there wasn’t time to tame him, since everyone was evacuating the area. He was left behind and I don’t think becomes tamed during the game (but potentially does or could be after it’s over).

Alan tamed Chosen by force. I don’t know what it would’ve been like if Alan had been able to calm Chosen down or talk to him. Chosen started destroying Alan’s desktop, which I think is because he couldn’t control his powers. Maybe there was no chance to talk to Chosen. He might not have wanted to listen even before Alan started fighting him. Definitely didn’t want to after Alan caught him.

Maybe if there had been more time, it could’ve been possible to tame Chosen without force. The programmer seemed to be pretty optimistic about whatever way he had to stop Chosen—whatever it was. We probably won’t know exactly.

Maybe catching Chosen and disabling his powers, which Alan did on his own. After the antivirus program caught Chosen, Alan may have contacted the programmer again and was able to hear the advice this time.

But I wonder, if Alan and Chosen had become friends, maybe Chosen would’ve been able to grow past his “destructive Chosen One” programming. Alan wouldn’t have drawn Dark to stop Chosen since there would be no need.

Chosen would’ve gradually warmed up to Alan over time, becoming friends with him despite the rough start, because Alan cared and tried to make up for everything. Alan would’ve felt bad for making Cho a Chosen One, realizing how scared and confused he probably was and not just destructive. Alan realized it was hard to be a Chosen One and that he should’ve been more responsible and not creating a Stick just for fun.

Though I guess Alan might’ve decided to draw Chosen a friend after a while, and it would’ve been Dark. Maybe even Orange some time down the line. Chosen at first would be wary, not liking Alan drew Sticks just to be his friends, just a different way of seeing what would happen when making a new Stick (why he’s initially angry when Reconfigured Dark draws Macaroni and accidentally brings him to life). But Chosen would be glad to have Dark and later Orange as friends, and Alan knew he wanted other Stick friends.

If I ever wrote an AvA/OneShot crossover I could make that happen. Or just AvA with a different idea of how Chosen was tamed. I might. Possibly not right at the moment since even though I want to, I know I’d get incredibly carried away and I want to make some progress on other projects first. 😅 But I’m going to keep it in mind.

PUMA FUTURE CAT LOW US WN’S

300761 06

FLINT GRAY/VAPOROUS GRAY/LIME PUNCH

PRODUCTION DATE: MARCH 2006

--

Four years.  I wonder if anyone’s still here?  We didn’t consciously decide to stop filling this with our obsessive observations, it just kind of... paused.  As we got busier rebuilding the studio, we got new cameras and had to re-work our workflows and approaches to doing things.  That takes time.  We are not completely distracted though, the collection has steadily grown... grown to the point where we have had to make some decisions on how to regain control of its scope.  We will be saying goodbye to the ‘modern’ section, the Future Cat M1s, M2s, S1s, Remixes and so on.  In their place we hope to continue to seek out and share here the bold, colourful aesthetic of the classic Future Cats. We have been fortunate enough to amass more than a dozen amazing examples, some exceedingly rare, from this classic period stretching from the 300428s, the myriad suedes, and the big cats and their astonishing use of material and colour.  So stay tuned, we will be showcasing our new finds here on a more regular basis.
