a concept involving Steamboat Willie that isn't horror?! it's a miracleIn honor of today's history making moment of Mickey becoming a public domain character, here's some preliminary brainstorming for a potential KH-inspired indie game utilizing a heavy emphasis on PD properties:
Lead platforms are Steam and Switch, partially because those are the popular ones for indie gaming but also because they both got shafted by KH real effin' bad. So this game would fill a void.
-2 main characters, a boy and girl. Names undecided but perhaps something that would fit KH naming conventions like say the Latin world for fire. *Googles* actually nevermind, that one's taken. Work in progress here.
-Player selects which of the 2 to play as. The other one gets kidnapped for TBD reasons than the player must save as the primary objective of the game.
-For the 2, 1 of them is a book nerd with an encyclopedic knowledge of classic stories while the other never cared about them before and knows very little. This makes for vastly different cutscenes depending on who the player chooses to play as and gives incentive for a 2nd playthrough.
-The worlds are all story books that player venture into. Like 100 Acre Woods but for every level. Actually this is a lot like how Yooka Laylee did it. The central hub area is a musty old library where the books in question are found.
-Since giant keys as swords is out of the question, the player's fancy marketable weapon will be a giant sized writing quill that's somehow hard enough to damage foes. Spells are cast by the protagonist quickly writing out the spell's cantations in the air.
-Short list of possible story book worlds: 1001 Arabian Nights, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes, 3 Little Pigs/Little Red Riding Hood.
-Mickey "The Mischievous Mouse" (quotations are part of the name for legal purposes) is the main recurring ally NPC and has his own book that's an adaptation of Steamboat Willie. His appearance outside of the book is something of an alternative imagining of what a colorized Mickey would look like with brown fur instead of black.
-Whole most worlds would have their own local villains to contend with, there is a main enemy threat that fills the minor enemy role. They are monsters that resemble notebook scribbles in 3D.
(Was kinda hoping to find something of more edgy grotesque designs but I guess this gets the general point across).
-The monsters essentially represent how some jerk kids will vandalize library or textbooks by doodling in them. There are outside creations that don't belong in the fairy tale and yet thanks to the game's main antagonist there they are.
-which, if it ain't obvious already, said antagonist will have their own quill-sword that they used to create the scribble monsters and thus provides the obligatory duel of rivals.
Hey now, let's not jump the gun. I haven't decided on a scenario for that world yet. Can't rule the possibility out.a concept involving Steamboat Willie that isn't horror?! it's a miracle
Also as long as you’re thinking of world ideas, how about the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and The Night Before Christmas as public domain Halloween Town and Christmas Town respectivelyHey now, let's not jump the gun. I haven't decided on a scenario for that world yet. Can't rule the possibility.
Here's a Soulslike idea that I had pitched a while backMaybe someone suggested this already, but a KH Souls-like or more specifically like Jedi Fallen Order. The gameplay loop would be that if you die, your heart is taken and you respawn as your Nobody. If you defeat the Heartless or other enemy you lost to, you can recover your heart and be restored to your full power. Your XP is tied to your heart, so if you die again without recovering it, you lose all that XP.
Like those games, you’d have a stamina bar and actions would need to be deliberate. Leveling would use a skill tree like Fallen Order.
Story and character wise, it could be anything. Maybe something more mature though.
Soulsborne Hearts (Dark Hearts?)
You wake up in the Realm of Darkness with no memory of who you are or how you got there. The only thing you do know is that the weapon in your hand is called a Keyblade. Surrounded by Heartless (much stronger versions since they're in their natural habitat) you struggle to survive and start to lose hope until you reach Sanctum, a safe haven created by others that are trapped in the dark realm that also serves as your hub. It's here where you learn that in order to return to the light you must defeat Guardian Heartless, extremely powerful beings that are scattered across the Realm of Darkness. As you set out on your journey, you find the Keyblades of wielders who tried and failed before you. Each Keyblade still emanates enough light for your heart to retreat to when you're defeated (much like the bonfires in Dark Souls) as well as granting you a new keychain. With each Guardian Heartless you defeat the darkness holding the portal closed weakens and a memory is restored to you, giving you access to a new ability and getting you one step closer to the light. But remember "The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes". And when faced with your own darkness, will you prevail, or will it consume you?
true but i was thinking more along of having worlds that wouldn't work in Kingdom Hearts proper. stuff like Silly Symphonys, Black Cauldron, Vincent, the package features, the Disney afternoon (which is the reason I included Phooey Duck), heck maybe even the Alice ComediesI'll be honest: the idea of "forgotten" Disney IPs was always a bit iffy to me. Like EM's idea of forgotten characters included Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar (both of whom were in KH2 just 4 years prior), Smee, somehow, & multiple copies of Pete.
IMO, the keyword should be "non-canon", characters that no longer fit into the modern vision of Disney properties. Like Ms. Geef & Goof Jr.
You could explore a character who wakes up as a nobody seperate from the Organization.Maybe someone suggested this already, but a KH Souls-like or more specifically like Jedi Fallen Order. The gameplay loop would be that if you die, your heart is taken and you respawn as your Nobody. If you defeat the Heartless or other enemy you lost to, you can recover your heart and be restored to your full power.
