The Night Angel Trilogy (as a legitimate videogame)

[Victor Johnson]

I wasn't surprised to find this topic here. While I think that its a great idea to not only promote the books, but also add to the user-created content for Morrowind, I have a slightly different agenda.

When I got into the second book, I saw great potential for a console (possibly a PC too) game. Upon reading the third book, I saw it as a challenge and (with the proper amount of work done) a successful franchise.

I have a rather light (in my opinion) background in game design. I can easily come up with gameplay mechanics and concepts for just about every aspect of the story, which would likely follow Kylar from Azoth/Kylar from beginning to end.

I have prior work experience in the games industry. I was a tester, but I worked with the designers and learned quite a bit from them, though not as much as I would've liked. Getting back on topic, I still have a few of those contacts, so issues and questions can get some kind of response. While I can't guarantee professional development, I think it would be a fun endeavor.

Who knows, once the design doc is complete, Mr. Weeks may just find a publisher/developer to pick it up and finish it.

So, I guess what I'm looking for now is an artist and or 3D renderer to help bring some of this to life. Publishers love content after all. I can't say that anyone who's involved would ever see a dime for the work, personally I just want to flex my design muscles and see if I can hack it.

Anyone interested in helping out with Project Night Angel?

Mr. Weeks, what do you think? If some of your fans presented you with a (near)complete design document in a few months would you be interested in trying to find someone to create a game out of it?

This would strictly be a "whenever you have the spare time" kinda project. More for fun, less for profit, but if there's a payment at the end I doubt anyone would decline it haha.

Alright, I'm done babbling. Discuss!

Hi Victor,

I would like to say it would be nice to see a NA game come out. A game that would help out in say the organisation of the story into your game, would be Return to Krondor.

Return to Krondor (if you decide to play it/already played it) has a really good way of story telling via chapters, also it switches from the main character at times so you can follow the progress of the other character in the game. That in my opinion would merge the NA books with a game.

Parts in Return to Krondor such as picking locks would also be of use in your concept. The battle system probably wouldn't be the best so you would have to build on your ideas. It also has mixing and making of items while it's out dated the idea is still there(gain more profession the stonger/better it is).

Like I have stated at the begining the use of chapters in the game in the same style would be a huge bonus, as in the NA books you seem to go back and forth between personnel.

I hope my view on this helps with some concepts there still would need to be other types of styles to make this work but what you have decied to go with so far is looking alright (in my view anyway XD )

I'm a bit new, I just finished the series...

Assassin's Creed (haven't played) + Prince Of Persia + Mirror's Edge (haven't played) + Fallout 3 (haven't played) + Kylar Stern = Night Angel-The Game

Project Night Angel would be the bes game ever. And by the way, how about this for credits:

1. Brent Weeks (author)
2. xxxx xxxxx (Forum guy who had this 'game' idea)
3. xxxxxx xxxx (Forum guy who came up with the credit format)
4. So on, in order of importance or help given.

Does anyone think this would work?
