New blog post sightly later than I was planning.
Update
So, I started bringing together ideas for the Yessenia game, but…I dunno. I’m failing to find my enthusiasm for it.
I think maybe the problem is that it’s a bit too similar to some of my previous games. The plan was for Yessenia herself to be a ballet dancer with an overbearing instructor/parent who escapes into the city one night with you, her bodyguard. I was checking through my previous games however and it’s feels way to similar to Crystal Part 3. A lot of other scenes in the game remind me too much of Leanna.
So, I started thinking about my ‘tournament game’. One problem I’ve had is creating good designs for the characters. Then an idea hit me : why don’t I use existing characters?
I don’t like my Chun Li? Well, I have Sukiko. I want a muscular blonde for Cammy? Well, I have Leanna. I switched over the costumes and…
Really, the obvious game for me to make sometime would be Photographer Part 4 with all of me new characters since Leanna. I’ve never liked this idea however because all games like Leanna and Sukiko tell much more personal stories. They all end up in a relationship with the player, so a new photographer game would mean them cheating on their partner, which I don’t like.
But what if it was some weird alternative reality fantasy like this? I could have Leanna, Kristen, Molly, Marianna, Crystal and Sukiko all here but as tournament fighters instead. It would be fun, different and work as a good substitute for a new photographer game. Would also make sense as a potential final game from me it if ends up that way.
Some pollsĀ
Long time since I did some polls, so let’s do a few for fun. Note : these are not binding. Just because an answer gets the most votes, doesn’t mean it’s what I’m doing. It’s just a general way for me to gauge enthusiasm for an idea.
Poll 1 : which game idea do you like the most.
Yessenia – A game similar to my usual style where you play a famous ballet dancers bodyguard (see images at top of post).
A tournament inspired game where you play as a fighter competing alongside Leanna, Sukiko etc but as Street fighter inspired characters.
The same tournament setup, but with all new characters (seen here).
And one more variation.
That’s all for today. See you next time (maybe next week).
