    Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

    So we have some bad news.

    The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

    I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it

    TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

    To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

    I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

    I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

    I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

    I'll see you all around.

    With so many regards, Duke William Of.

    And when are we introducing Zatanna? The Justice League should have all the characters already introduced in previous films to give time to the antagonists to be introduced.

    In Justice League the ideas was, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Robin, Batgirl and Zatanna acting as the new one who helps explain some of the stuff going on. I was thinking of using the 'Bizzaro' universe as a major plotline.

    I don't think we'll be doing Batman 4 or 5 considering that it's only going to be a trilogy during the DCEU.

    IIRC from our conversation while we made 2 and 3 together, there were plans to go up to five, with 4 being based on the Long Halloween and 5 featuring Ra's and the League

    I'm also writign a pitch, and mine includes the Anti-Monitor as well as the Crisis to serve as a big finale. Main antagonists would be the Crime Syndicate who would be working as his lackeys.

    Yeah, but Magoose mentioned how Columbia was only going to make a Trilogy of films for the character since they did not wish to stretch it that much, not to mention they were at best giving a single movie to each of the heroes, save for Superman and Batman who get 3 and Wonder Woman who gets 2.

    Given how you wrote it, I'd probably do something like
    -[jk]Yes: Alright you win Mike, but only if filming is done near by.

    Done. That better?

    LucasArts Pitch: Nidhogg
  • Apocrypha
    • Here's the third, and final for now, LucasArts pitch. I first became aware of this game through the YouTube channel, Node. It's an incredibly simple game that involves two players going against each other to reach opposing ends of the levels to reach the Nidhogg. Despite the incredibly simplistic concept, gameplay, and graphics, it's a surprisingly tense and exciting game where a lot of back-and-forth can take place. For the game director, I chose to use an OC that I'll be using for a couple of game pitches going forward, along with probably a couple of other OC's in the future when I feel that they're appropriate. I'd like to do an Omake on Jamie, but it's no where near a priority for me and it won't be anytime soon. The basic idea that I'm running with though is that Nidhogg was something she made to present during a job interview for a position at LucasArts and while waiting, some other employees come by and are interested in trying it out and get a little too into it. I have more, but I'll just leave it at that. This pitch is pretty slim, just like the previous two, but this one is moreso because it really is just that simplistic a game. Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

    LucasArts Pitch:
    Nidhogg    ​

    Game Developer: LucasArts Entertainment
    Director: Jamie Lee Evans
    Genre: Arcade/Fighting/Sidescroller
    Nidhogg is a fast-paced dueling game where players sword fight in a side-scrolling environment. Players can run, jump, slide, throw their swords, and fistfight. The player-character's sword can be held at three different heights: low, medium, and high, and changing the sword's position to hit the opponent's sword will disarm the opponent. Players can also dive kick, wall jump, climb ledges, and crawl. The player continually pushes towards one side of the screen, such that they are permitted a few seconds to run towards their opponent's side while their opponent respawns after dying. The player to reach the end of their opponent's side first wins and is eaten by the mythological Norse serpent Níðhöggr. Nidhogg has four different levels, as well as single-player and two-player modes. The game also has a tournament mode and game variants including "boomerang swords."

    • @overmind Your plan is good but I have a few suggestions:

    For War in the Pocket, can you please have Fumihiko Takayama as the director. He is the OTL Director for War in the Pocket, and I don't see any reason why he shouldn't direct here since War was probably made in '87 or '88. Plus, Tomino probably has his hands full with ZZ Gundam and this is a nice way to begin the start of Gundam as a franchise without everything being directly made by Tomino.

    You are missing budgets for Cult of the Preacher, Flight of the Navigator and Detention.

    For George, wouldn't it be better to have him start the American Saga? I feel like it should be our turn since the Colonial stuff has got to be done by now and George is really great at epic stories and vibrant worlds.

    Also this is just a personal taste, but why El Cid? I'm unsure of what the story is based on your post and the story from what I've read seems bleak. If not that, I was hoping to put Brad on War for the Crystal. Though if you have good reasonings then I'm all ears.

    True, but we've yet to have the rest of the scripts for the saga written, and the movie relies on having all three ready so that we can film the movies one after the other to better use the actors.

    Furthermore, the movies have actors from the 90s,

    El Cid is the first part of a trilogy, the first one is supposed to be the rise of El Cid, so it can end on a positive note. The second part (which I really need to write now) is supposed to deal with his fall and later rise as lord of Valencia, with the thrid entry being his final fight and death.

    Also, part of a reward I got for it is that Spain will massively support making the film, which I'm curious in how it will happen.

    Any thoughts?
     
    can I ask you all for some help with the next update, or rather the lack of update in the next few days.

    I'm not in the head to write the movie updates for some of the stuff I wanted to do.
     
    What do You Have There, A Smoothie?

    • What do You Have There, A Smoothie?:

    George Lucas was a genius, you knew that since you met that man on the Set of THX 1138. When he started talking about things that you didn't understand.

    He was a man who loved movies, cameras, lenses, and above all else, making movies and making movies better for everyone. That was why he made THX, and Skywalker sound and worked with several thousand movie theaters and companies to get them into the latest and greatest film-presenting technology. He wanted digital cameras, not only so that film could move forward, but to make it easier for everyone.

    It was why you were surprised by what you saw George was with. "George, what is in your hand?"

    In his hand was a small, hand-held camera that was blinking and, if you had to guess. Working, while connected to one of Steve's or… maybe it was one of the Pixar's own, Computers.

    In the other hand, was a chocolate strawberry smoothie that one of the Pixar guys was making for everyone working overtime.

    "A Smoothie." He replied as he took a sip, and you knew he was fucking with you.

    "You know what I am talking about." You said.

    "Oh, this." He took a picture and the flash surprised you.

    "Hey the heck!" You said as you rubbed your eyes, and George smiled as he walked over to the computer. "What are you-"

    "Watch this!" George said, as the computer chugged along, you saw a photo appear there in a minute. "See!" he was so excited to say that.

    It was the same photo he took but you were… not impressed. "So?" You replied.

    George than pressed the print button on the computer, and then a minute later, a full-color photo appeared.

    Now that was impressive. "So that means."

    George smiled. "Yep. Anyone can print out their photos from a computer that has this printer." He pointed and slapped the printer. "Your brother came up with it."

    God bless Gavin. "How did Steve take it?"

    "Jobs was pissed that he didn't come with it, and Woz just wanted to keep the two from killing each other, then. So the usual."

    "We really need to get those three to bury the hatchet." You replied. "Imagine what they would do if they just worked together instead of playing off one another."

    Then George laughed. "Sounds like some people we know."

    "But can it be mass-produced?" You asked.

    "I want it to… every single person in America can have a digital camera if I have anything to say about it." He said.

    Reward: Mass-produced Digital Cameras are being made, and now produces an income of a massive billion-dollar industry.

    Regular film camera industries will soon collapse.

    Unknown Effect.
