This thread is dedicated to my semi-personal project to branch the mythos out to different media. As opposed to roleplays and community projects, I already have the setting/plot (if you can call it that) in mind, but I need a direction. The project takes place during the Infinite Absolute Wars, where many alternate universe characters duked it out over the Absolute Artifacts. Due to the sheer scope involved, it is possible to run games or make stories where stuff is ruined (Paorou killed by a screwdriver, Asmodeus is a girl, etc.) and still have it canon. For this reason, I feel that we can do a lot with it. I have a few ideas in my head, but I'm not able to do all of them (being one guy) so I need help in narrowing my efforts.
LIST OF POTENTIAL MEDIA:
- Tabletop Narrative Strategy System : Paorou's Ambition/Greed of Asmodeus Reboot - What it says on the tin. The old system was flexible enough to include almost any kind of character or battle condition, from intense dramatic duels to epic wars between masses of bread cultists and ego zombies. It had the potential to be truly epic. However, since I make video games for a living now, I think that I should branch out and step up my game rather than remake an old idea. Here is the old, unfinished system and its rules : http://iwaku.wikia.com/wiki/Greed_of_Asmodeus
- Mobile Game iOS/Android : Greed of Asmodeus Derivative - This is actually the sort of game I'm expected to make every month. (at work) It loses the narrative aspect, though, concentrating more on strategy and combos to win. However, it maintains the feel of dueling with fancy combos (this time no need for imagination to see cool stuff!) while generic NPCs kill each other in the background. If I do this right, it may even become a multiplayer game we can play with each other over the internet/phones. I'm considering giving this to my boss and making it a company published game. Here is my proposal thus far : http://iwaku.wikia.com/wiki/Greed_of_Asmodeus_(Videogame)
- 2D Fighting Game : Iwaku Fighter - This is probably the hardest thing on this list to pull off. I'll need sprites, codes, art, animation... the list goes on. But this is the idea I want to pull off the most, and achieving this would make me die a happy man. I have so much ideas as to the system and the animations and moves of Mythos characters. However, I'll have to sadly limit the amount of playable characters - it's just too grand an idea. Here is my unfinished proposal : http://iwaku.wikia.com/wiki/Angelic_Delusion_(Fighting_Game)
- 3D Hack n' Slash Fighting game : Iwaku versus Iwaku - Similar to Gundam versus Gundam and dynasty warriors, in all the glory of a fancy 3d game. Iwakuans tend to fly around a lot and do dramatic stunts that really would rival tons of video games nowadays. So this is the best way in my opinion, to show the raw physicality of such battles. However, this is truly an impossibility for me to do (on my own) of all my ideas presented, and I don't find it as fulfilling, maybe because of how saturated the market is with such things.
- Video Presentation - I'll make this in conjunction with any of the above games, but like I said, limited characters due to the scope of the mythos. This one I am confident I can do on my own, though it'll take a lot of time. Essentially it'll introduce the characters and the game, as well as a really quick overview of the mythos. (primarily from the chosen characters' perspectives)
Due to the nature and scope of this project, I can only feasibly include 10-13 playable characters for the fighting game/video presentation (assuming I'm doing this on my own) and that would take FOREVER. Since this is an alternate universe where anything is possible, we can have playable characters that aren't the big players in Iwaku World (the big 3, Porg, Jack Shade, etc etc) I just want to know people's opinions with who to include. I got my own list, feel free to post up yours. Perhaps even pitch your characters while you're at it. The list I got isn't final yet, anyway.
My List
1. Asmodeus
2. Rory
3. Paorou-sama
4. Jack shade
5. Kitti
6. Porg
7. The Goddess/Muse/Medusa/
8. Tegan
9. Warmaster Death
10. TK
11. Orion
12. Grant and Aimi
13. Gabriel ONE (original character for this new setting)
