Designing a Laura Bow Spinoff -

This could be easy, considering how many people Laura interacted with in both games...!

Just because I think these threads are fun for discussion -

If you were tapped as someone who had to make a Laura Bow spin off - using one of the existing characters that isn't a main character (so in this case, no Laura Bow) - who would you make it about?

Essentially it'd be a way to create a game to develop and focus on another character, other than the main character(s).

So if you couldn't think of a game idea, who (aside from the main character(s)) do you wish you knew more about?

Copy and paste error?

Already fixed, after you pointed out this one. I am on it. (Unless I missed one?)

But how many survived? :)

On that note... Stevedore Quest!

I picture this as a "Forrest Gump"-ish prequel where it explores Steve's past working at the docks and getting entangled with famous historical figures throughout the 20's.

The plot would loosely follow Steve helping some guy called Lindbergh find his missing airplane after it goes missing from a ship's cargo. Along the way, he'll teach Babe Ruth to swing a bat, inspire Walt Disney to create Steamboat Willie, and accidentally invent commercial radio.

This is genius! I'd love to play it.

In a similar vein, perhaps Al Lowe could design an Yvette Delacroix prequel, exploring her adventures in Paris and her numerous...exploits.

Could be prequel stuff... Colonel before he was "paralyzed" or any one of those guests from the first or second game.

Maybe a pseudo-sequel, FarmVille type game, where Celie and the Colonel set about restoring the plantation to its former glory and must tend the sugar cane.

They use all the murder victims as fertilizer...KIDDING!

Every time you log in to farm money, you get a random chance of finding a premium corpse.

You two need to team up. I think we're sitting on a gold mine here. :lol:

:lol: YES! Save your gold to buy police dogs, who sniff out the premium burial spots.
