If you turned your work into a Video Game, what kind of game would it be?

Galactiquest - Visual Novel (Friendship Sim??), Vertical shoot 'em up, Story-focused RPG, Story-focused minigame compilation

Hinimato - Visual Novel (Dating Sim-like, but everything goes comedically wrong), RPG where the battles are performances, 2D Fighting Game, Vertical shoot 'em up

Both Together - Social Sim (Kinda like Stardew Valley, but you do errands instead of farming. I guess that's more like Animal Crossing), Whatever type of game Smile For Me was.

I love this idea for a thread! My book, Marry X Princess, could probably work as both a visual novel with multiple routes/choices, or a turn based RPG similar to Persona or Sakura Wars.The latter would be harder and would probably require some filler story lines to pad it out, but it would be super fun I think.

This is super cool!!!

Penelope dreadful: Probably a telltale-ish horror game
The chosen wads: Action/adventure/beat-em-up game

For Lyza's Sandstorm video game, it would be 2D side-scroller platform beat-em-up. It has to be fast paced action. Another idea, it would like a faster version of Tomb Raider with sand powers, platforming and fighting if it's in 3D or CGI.

It has to be fast paced games with bosses at the end of a segment or level.

Definbetely RPG. In fact, my comic is very similar to Persona series because this was my inspiration.

I would love to have The Lost Forest as an open rpg game souls like game, something like Elden Ring

I sort of have this idea for a video game that involves board game mechanics. I was going to create new characters but I could just reuse ones from my comics.

A team RPG where you can assemble a team of 4 holidays and have them fight Krampus, Abominable snowmen and Scrooge's ghost gang

Mine would be an RPG. Always loved RPG with action and kewl super powers. And since I wrote action/sci-fi it would fit the bill. I could also create visual novels or otome games due to how much the story is actually the world in a videogame. Gacha would be another posibility or even a fighting game.

I really thought things through to have a potential of expansion on the videogames industry if I ever get more money to pay for it. It is a really interesting question nonetheless.

My comic is a slice of life, so definitely some sort of story-based RPG or visual novel...a goofy dating sim might be fun 🤣 or maybe an adventure game where the characters try to complete some sort of task. There would definitely be a comedy aspect to it

2DLenzy 2023-11-02 17:39:29 UTC #26

Oof...
A cross between I am Jesus Christ and Goat Simulator...maybe...
Strong story, awful gameplay mechanics/physics...but still fun to play...

julias_art_universe 2023-11-02 17:41:19 UTC #27

probably a dating sim where you play as the matchmaker and have to find some way to satisfy the mc. My comic is a rom com I linked it below in case anyone wants context

linZcomics 2023-11-02 17:53:22 UTC #28

It probably no surprise that my comic would be a RPG, given the title . Many of the elements from my magic system to how life/death works is inspired by RPG video games.

Kalebell 2023-11-04 08:16:34 UTC #29

My novels would probably be point and click video games or interactive ones where you have to make a choice that changes the direction of the story.

rumpenstiltzkin 2023-11-04 10:23:01 UTC #30

Somehow I think about it a lot, caus hey, i love games
Djinns would probably be a turn based rpg, similar to early FF-games!

Vermuth 2023-11-04 10:31:13 UTC #31

Zodiac Path would be a RPG.
My sweet Host life is a lie could be a Virsual Novel.
Acually I just think about a new project which I would turn into a Virsual Novel.

ShidoDraws 2023-11-04 13:05:15 UTC #32

I imagine my story would fit for more of an open world adventure game, similarly like Zelda: Breath of The Wild but with a twist where you can switch between the characters Twiga, Nina and Shido. They have their own role around the machines of the game to advance the storyline, and a particular character will not interact with people and another character will get more rewards for a quest.

If I could I would just turn my story into a game straight up, but I don't really have the budget or time. Sigh.

Mine would probably be a Single Player Open World Action-RPG.
Gameplay would be hack n' slash like Nier: Automata, Devil May Cry or Metal Gear Rising, similar to how Platinum Games create their battle system.
Immersion would be like Dragon Age Inquisition or Witcher 3.
Customizability and level-up system like Final Fantasy, say, VII Remake or XVI.

I think for Gluttonous, I'd like it to be similar in combat style to God of War. Action-based combat with quick-time events and cutscenes. However, I also liked the Dragon Ball Xenoverse parallel universe side stories as well. Perhaps I'd include some of those for spots where skilled players beat bosses or take different routes from the main story.

As for Techromaster, it'd would be more like a spider-man game with sprinkles of Payday, side scroller, fighting, and a mega fight at the end. Also with cutscenes throughout. I'm big on the "play a movie" concept. The shifting game style would fit Dante's wild imagination and schizophrenia mixed with his hallucinations.
