    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.

    I seem to remember @Magoose saying we can start adapting Super Sentai with Changeman which would you know was the 1985 series! so we only have to wait a little

    I said maybe on that.

    Mostly because we might not be able to make things interesting like powerrangers... until people are ready for it.

    And they might not be ready for it.

    I had to cut out pretty much everything that I had to say here because I'm realizing that I am WAY too tired right now to be civil, but to be frank, I don't believe you for a second. You'd absolutely push for trying to acquire Disney or Nintendo themselves if you thought Magoose would let us get away with it.

    I'm just gonna leave things here since, like I said before, I'm too tired to be civil right now, and as much as this stuff from you annoys the hell out of me, it's not fair for me to get aggressive with you when you haven't done anything to deserve that, so I'm just gonna drop this line of discussion and try to get to bed.

    Yeah I would, and I hope that in the distant future, we can Uno Reverse Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm from OTL if only for the delicious irony that would be...

    And yes, I always want to purchase/license/produce cool stuff mostly because it is cool and we can afford it and to me, that is more than enough... If that annoys you well sorry for that, but that won't change my opinions on that regard.

    …Thinking about the console wars. Assuming Sony tries their 'soft aquesition' they did IRL that torpedoed the Sony-Nintendo console collaboration. It'll be an interesting conflict. Between the Microsoft-Nintendo enmity over the Game Boy incident(Edit: Don't yet know what happened, but it sounds like Nintendo wouldn't be pleased with whatever shenanigans they pulled to release a game boy rival.), the Apple-Microsoft rivalry spilling over into the gaming space, Sega inheriting a feud with Sony thanks to the Star Wars incident.

    A glorious mess of fueds, hijinks, and chaos it's shaping up to be.

    I'm fine with waiting until we make the Power Rangers with the original team and the same actors... with better pay and choreography of course.

    Though I hope we can release some of the other Sentai shows with some dubbing before that. I still have fond memories of watching
    Choujyu Sentai Liveman or Choushinsei Flashman as a kid. In fact, we should try to release those two before the Power Rangers in order to create some hype.
     
    I remember Clint Eastwood wanted Bruce to be in a Western, even if they are not in right now.

    I think there is a compromise here that might work.

    If anyone here has seen Kenshi, then we could have a way to revitalize westerns I think.

    The game setting is very unique, on an alien moon after the fall of two great empires, and has a unique mix of eastern fantasy, mad max, and the west.
    Plus the theme song, Scorching Wind, is an amazing eastern/western type of song that sounds like a funeral Dirge.

    Then again, Kenshi might be good for a Jim Henson puppet type of movie.

    Wow, only a year and a couple months and George can talk. The Goslings sure did get some great Intelligence genes. Poor Mary, definitely dealing with all of the pressures of being the biggest kid. At least her and George can bond over loving Dragons. Also, seems that our absence somehow caused George to become a diva, or he's got Bruce's actor genes, lol.

    Overall very nice, though we should strive for one-on-one time with the other kids to balance things out with George. Are the kids dealing with this okay?

    I'm gonna hard veto these because they're not worth it. Konami's only existed for 15 years and Capcom for less than a year and they've barely started investment in video games. It's like if Microsoft was hard focusing on an Indie studio that just published a moderately successful game. Even with autopasses, there is such a thing as cheesing and for video games we're best served developing our in-house franchises and forming strong relationships with third parties, who will start publishing in the summer and fall.

    Not to mention that both kind of lost their value here. Konami isn't making Metal Gear, Castlevania and Contra thanks to Overmind's work and Capcom isn't making Mega Man because of the same.

    Yeah....in the near future I'd like for us to focus on making original IP or developing OTL Sega and Lucasarts franchises. Just based off the latter we got tons of IP to work with, not to mention plenty of games that could have been franchises in Sega OTL but failed because of the company's mismanagement.


    @Magoose Who bought out the rights to Atari games?

    And Mr. Goemon, Ghosts n`Goblins, as well as having the future Producer for the Resident Evil games working for us.

    ...I regret nothing. We saved the IP's from the mismanagement Konami would introduce by their odd fixation in Pachinko machines.

    OK, fair enough for Konami and Capcom, but @overmind, would you mind explaining the problem with trying to get the adaptation rights to some of the most iconic European comics like Asterix, Lucky Luke, Corto Maltese, etc?

    Honestly adapting any of those comics into an animated TV series (or animated movies) with Dreamwork's awesome production value and quality, we would get an instant classic that many generations of viewers will enjoy

    I said I agreed to Corto Maltese, so I'm fine with having it.

    Asterix is mostly because we tried once, and we have waited so many years now, so I'm not sure how it would be taken. Plus, we've yet to do anything with Johann and Pewitt so I feel that this is just going to gather dust before we do anything with the character.

    Lucky Luke... I just don't like the comic, that's all.

    Well, we tried once, and now we have the chance to try again with guaranteed success... Besides that IIRC we didn't have any big problem with Uderzo, it was merely a disagreement over the format and language of the animated series, but we parted ways amicably and we left the door open to make business in the future...

    OK, fair enough I suggested Lucky Luke because it is one of the most popular comic series that European children (myself included) have enjoyed for generations...
     
    We could buy the rights to Judge Dredd and the other 2000 AD stuff and make Judge Dredd earlier( though I'd prefer it be based off Dredd 2012 over Judge Dredd 1995). And maybe get a deal to republish the comics in the US.

    Or we could just cut out the middleman and buy out the 2000 AD comics (and whatever IPC comics we may want) before Fleetway does in 87 and officially make it part of Marvel.

    I made a pitch so that we could make the 2012 version since I think it's an underappreciated gem, so all we need are the rights for it.

    Huh, we get a new imprint in Britain, and perhaps we can get Miracleman to become part of it so that we can at some point print them in the U.S.

    Sounds like a good idea, though all I know of 2000 AD is Judge Dredd, what are the other comics in it?

    Well It's mostly an anthology so it has a good number of comic stories. I've read a few of them an they were good. But here's some of them I at least know of that have already been created.

    Stronium Dogs.: During the nuclear war Stronium-90 was used in a number of the bombs. The people affected by these bombs but survived became mutants living in ghettos. to survive many of these mutants become bounty hunters or Search and Destroy units. Commonly nicknamed Stronium Dogs. The story follows Johnny Alpha and his non mutant sidekick Ulf a Norse Viking tracking bounties in the post apocalyptic wasteland.

    ABC Warriors: Follows the stories of a group of Robots designed to fight in conditions that human can't. ( Atomic Biological and Chemical) One shows up in Judge Dredd 1995.

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZXH3EXEQTA

    Rogue Soldier: A blue super solder( called G.I.'s or Genetic Infantryman) unit gets massacred and he goes rogue in an attempt to hunt down those responsible.

    Nemesis the Warlock: Humanity has come under control of a repressive xenophobic and expansionist regime. This regime is contested by human dissidents and various alien races. The main character Nemesis is from a demonic looking race of alien's named Warlocks and uses his magic powers to fight the empire in a anti hero kind of way.

    Also I may have been wrong before and IPC's comic division may have been sectioned off and renamed Fleetway as it was sold off in 1987. Not sold to Fleetway. Not that it changes much.

    If we do that I say we keep him in his own little continuty separated from the rest, in my opinion one of the great problems of Marvel and Dc is how everything is put in the same continuity, plus I don't like the bad future stories in superhero they basically make everything the heroes ever do useless by their mere existance

    Yeah, I'm fine with the occasional crossover but not everything has to be connected.

    Right now there's a Sonic producer quest which I'm hoping to get some ideas from and Duke just posted an excellent pitch. So far at least for the Genesis, make the first 3 games. After that we can experiment in the successor console and pump out Adventure for Dreamcast
    Click to expand...

    I have no problem with that, but can we also release Sonic and Knuckles before we go for the Dreamcast?

    For Sonic, i have to admit I'm more of a casual fan with the games, and I like the comics a bit more (even if some of the characters seem a bit too much). One thing I hope we can keep though are both Shadow the Hedgehog and Amy Rose, since I think both make for excellent characters that can be used in future games.

    Also, let's try to keep Robotnik as competent and evil instead of making him seem like a joke.

    I'd like to do some variation of the Sonic OVA if it's not to much trouble.
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...
    That's a good idea, since we have Sunrise we can do it.

    Also, considering that the OVA has Metal Sonic, and that character had its debut in the Sonic CD game, then perhaps we should also make a variation of said game, as it is also the debut for Amy Rose. All in all, this is a game that could perhaps be also added before we go to the DreamCast, though if the Time Travel Mechanics it's too much then perhaps it could help as the debuting game for that console.
