This time around im trying to create the world first before diving into the meat and potatoes of the story. Im doing similar things I used to do when I was DMing (dungeon master) a d&d campaign, but with greater detail. The world im creating inst fiction, well parts of it are, it is set in modern day USA, with the same history but a different future. Creating compelling characters to help drive the story is almost as important to me as the main character itself.
Its kind of like those old RPG’s where the main character didn’t speak, and you got an attachment to him/her because of the supporting cast. Obviously my main character is not going to be a mute, but I would like to combine that strategy to hopefully create an amazing adventure.
Other than that I have been watching a lot of cop drama’s lately. Netflix instant streaming has a nice array of them, and some of the movies make me think of comic books. Especially when powerful villains seems to allude the judicial system because everyone is bought and paid for. Made me wonder if spider man ever got angry because the King Pin somehow kept getting out of jail. Same with Superman and Lex Luthor. Might be an interesting story to try and tackle for today new comic book artists.
Well that’s all for today, back to more world creating and research.
