Hey guys, I'm thinking of keeping the BB saga running and picking the game back up and I need some advice from fans on here of the game.
I know this thread is still huge but I gotta ask a quick question and I think this is the best place to put it. My idea here is to keep the much beloved characters in BB like Ann, Lisa, Alice, Kira and the rest (Olivia, Vicky, Diana, Eve, Kate) but adding new characters into the story, to try and make a BB universe but obviously not call it that as this is Dark Silvers property. I'm thinking along the lines of a fan made tip of the hat to this game where the characters are similar and in a similar situation but I wanted to totally re-write the story, the mechanics, the gameplay to make it less of a grind and change the parts that people don't like.
I'm not going to rip off DS's work completely, far from it, I'll be using the same art assets used in his game but creating a whole new game with different mechanics, different opportunities (while keeping some the same), so from a story and gaming point of view it will technically be a different game.
I'll be using the Unity Engine to carry out this task and as I don't want to risk getting sued I'm going to make this game and NOT fund it on Patreon or anywhere else, I was just going to work on it and post it on here, I work from home and have suddenly developed a lot of time on my hands so I thought I may as well put it to good use. Don't get me wrong I'm not against making money but I don't want to milk something that has finished, plus I reckon there's no harm in trying right?
I'm going to make a start on this on my own and I'm going to set up another thread on the general discussions section here if anyone wants to throw some suggestions in, I have a bucket load of ideas already planned (about 40 opportunities in my head already) and I wanted to put in a proper narrative, realistic characters and realistic reactions to different situations which I think is missing in some game projects of this type out there at the moment, plus I'm going to make full use of NPC's inner thoughts which are not told in many games (DMD is a good example of this).
I like stat building games as long as they are not too difficult with little payoff, I'm wondering on everyone's thoughts on this as in my opinion stats like "Attractiveness", "Fitness", "Charisma", are things in the real world that people find attractive and I want to base the logics of this game in reality, I've been poking around with projects for the last 8-9 months but under the new Patreon rules my WIP game I planned out is never going to get funding until an alternative comes around so I'm thinking doing a fun project as a hobby will be great and my logic here is if it turns out any good it will get my name out there for future projects I may work on.
Thoughts???
