Ok, i was wondering that is it a good idea to take like a comic strip charector (my friend is a comic artist/writer) and turn it into a game type like were it plays a movie then give syou choices?

i have no i idea what you said at all to be honest.

it be like this
...............................................this happens too
..................yes then this happnes <
beginn movie <...............................no this happens
..................no this happens


Each < charector will be a movie then you have to choose a repsonce like fight or run or Yes go with them or No don't go

stuff like that ?

Look up Darksiders... then when it comes out, try it. It may not be choice driven, but its a comic to game. From what I can tell, it'll look great.

As for choice driven games, Heavy Rain seems like it would be a decent comic if they decide to make one. It'll be more Drama than Action for sure, but it would probably work.

R.L. Stine released a series of Goosebumps books that were interactive, they were definately interesting, but eventually they got kind of boring because there was usually only one "Correct" path to take, everything else resulted in a crappy ending.

For a game medium, a comic wouldn't exactly be a good idea. As a comic, it would be interesting, I think Tim Buckley at Ctrl Alt Del was doing a series like that based on votes.

But as a video game, it would become to repetitive. You either end up with too many branching storylines from the same scenes or you only have one real path in which others result in a quick finish. If its the former, than you run the risk of boring people to death: in order to get onto each different story branch, you'd have to repeat the comic over and over again, reading up to a certain point and then moving on. If its the latter, you're basically just telling one story with multiple endings.
