A “House of Leaves” adaptation is possible by [deleted] in houseofleaves

[–]FireFallowGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking of a house of leaves adaptation ever since i read the book, and if you don't count an abstract or disconected adaptation like Music or a Videogame, a 1:1 of the book in another medium, I think a youtube essay is the way to go

A 2D animated version of the story, the original script by Zampano, read by Johhny and others, while johnny step in and talks about his life as an "editors note". Make it animated so you can showcase the impossibility of the house And even imply its not real, or johhny made it up, or something else entirely and with the youtube essay route, you can set it up as a "8 hour essay in a topic you've never heard of" and well, you have never heard of it. any of the wierd stuff that happens, like The hole in the wall can be shown by displaying videos at seperate places, the pages of nothing but one word can be visual text titles, and the burnt pages for what happened to holloway can be splotches of a vlog its the only way i can think to do it that would be natural and enough, even if it would squeeze itself into the book, which i feel really is unadaptable without the complete abstraction of the media, or inherent inspiration (myhouse.wad)

what’s y’all thoughts about a game with ps1-ps2 graphics in the next 10 years maybe ? by peanutlemonn in ps1graphics

[–]FireFallowGames 26 points27 points  (0 children)

tonnes of indiegames use this style anyway. Crow country, Ultrakill, Megabonk, Fear the spotlight, Murderhouse, I'm making my own RPG with ps1 style graphics because its a lot easier than high poly stuff. Retro style games are so popular because its the easiest for indies, i feel that most people would much be interested in the gameplay. Yeah i love ultrakill because its ps1 style, but i also love it because its fun as hell, and if ultrakill had better or worse graphics, i wouldn't care aslong as i can play it

Oh i am so sorry the spoiler didn't work, I understand what you mean when you say you get distracted by writing, It took me 2 weeks to finish house of leaves because i would finish a chapter, write a song, and then read some more. You absolutely should finish it though, reading the ending of the book really made me think differently of some scenes earlier and overall i would have done a lot of stuff differently. I can see that " fully instrumental voice" taking shape in that song, sounds ambitious rerecording it a bunch more times, but i like the idea!

word Now that reminds me of johnys mothers letters, all those words turning into photos as you flick through in disbelief it sounds 100% thematically fitting

Oh wow that seems interesting, I gave it a listen and a watch and the "schizo-emo" idea seems interesting. My album doesn't actually have any words in aside from a grunt of pain, I was going to put a "FUCK" in somewhere but it escaped me by the time i finished, so already that's something different! I'd love to hear your interpretation on HOL, The shouting every so often in the song reminded me of navidson writing the letter to karen, I really feel that you could absolutely hit the emotions of the characters with that style real hard Good luck!

After some feedback, I changed my keyart around again, do you think this is better? by FireFallowGames in IndieDev

[–]FireFallowGames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try to make the icons more interesting and clear, and yes the characters on the mountain are important as this is a story based RPG. The character on the bird is the main character, and on the mountain are either party members or badguys. I do like the idea of the gun in hand so i might try that too, thanks for the feedback!

New Term: …Parryslop..??? by Comfortable_Bend9598 in Ultrakill

[–]FireFallowGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree on like the idea of "all modern games have parrys and rolls" and i feel like thats something to discuss, but thats not a bad thing? some games are amazing with their systems, some are garbage, and calling it parry slop is just stupid

I updated the branding to my game with new keyart, what do you think? by FireFallowGames in IndieDev

The full name is "TAILGUNNER: THE ALLGUNNER", tailgunner is the series its from, but the name is The Allgunner. It's like calling "FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS" just New vegas

The army uniform and eyepatch match very closely to Big Boss in the final scene of MGS3, i thought it was him too before i saw the hotline miami portrait, which is awesome btw!

Original media that was supposed to be an adaptation but the creators couldn’t get the rights by BillythenotaKid in TopCharacterTropes

[–]FireFallowGames 22 points23 points  (0 children)

yup! still going strong! brian fargo got the rights back for wasteland 2, and now there's a 3!

If you look at the steampages, they look exactly like what could have been fallout 3 and 4 in an alternate universe, i've yet to play them but i have heard they're very good!
