Story time!
So, I've been circulating ideas for something I'd never make- at least in game form anyway.
New EsthersonYou , Insert Name Here, are dropped off into an anarchic state with about 240 other people between the ages of 14 to 30. Good luck.
The girl on the lefts' name is Suzetta Frost, and the one on the right is Isaac Steele.
Other names in the game include Alban Ginestri, Ferre Lei, Shanta Ann-Marie, Lorelei Amaretto, Taoya Matsuka, Carson Grant, Price Hearst.
All these people all maintain different alliances and ideals and plans, and your choices affect what happens.
Suzetta tries to instill order and law and establishes a refuge for others who feel the same. Isaac thinks he can get out of this if he kills everyone else. Lorelei establishes a police force and uses it to command the city, while Taoya builds a more guerrilla-style army.
You can go different places whenever and encounter different people and things in diffrent places and accept requests / missions / demands from them.
Sound like fun? Too bad, it's a comic book now.
I've split the plot points across five acts, and about 230 pages. This is a conservative estimate. The last book I made I estimated would end at 150, and was more in line to end at 250.
I'll be sure to post them here if people are interested, though. But until then, I don't think my peoples can refer to the main man as "Hey, you!"
Cross is a pretty cool surname though…
Jesse Pinkman
Call him Victus.
Julius Malema…
A comic book where you can "affect what happens"? A RPG would've been more suitable in my opinion (plus, in a videogame you can have filler random battles and stuff to make it longer without actually making anything) but whatever.
I think you should name the protagonist meaning something like "Clean Slate" so that the pla… er, reader can refer to him as 'himself' (or herself, in case any ladies are gonna read this, but then again, the female lead would be easier to identify with and blah blah blah)So how about naming him Tin Slate? Tin is half Tintin, which means "nothing" in french (hence why Georges "Herge" Remi chose that name in the first place) and Slate means… slate.@Yaru The hypothetical game on which this comic will be based had multiple endings, not the comic. I could never draw as much things, there were like 9 endings ._.
TTR had six, which I half-assed in two days. Surely you can do better given a little more time.
One thing you could do would be to scan/photo enough poses for all characters, a bunch of backgrounds, and a bunch of visual effects, then make either a cut-n-paste webcomic or a visual novel game. Both would allow for multple endings while removing the need of things you need to draw: you only need to draw unique poses or unique images once in a while when a crescendo happens; you can use the stock poses for the filler parts that are used to build up tension before a crescendo happens.
Call him Dyne.
Everything goes with Dyne.
