The Wonderland Board

Hi all,

just a quick reminder that if you wanted to be involved in WA2, you need to send me an example level in the next little while (by end of April would be great, although you could still join a little later, if necessary).

I'll be going through the submissions so far in a bit, so expect e-mails in a week (?) or so.

And in case you don't know what I'm talking about:

Best,
Patrick

OMG so excited so excited can't wait!!!

Boy, what a long wait!

Strange though, did you add a "2" to the title?

Wow!
I can't wait!

I'm not sure yet what it will be called.

Options are
Wonderland Adventures: Mysteries of Fire Island
Wonderland Adventures 2: Mysteries of Fire Island
Wonderland Adventures Chapter 2: Mysteries of Fire Island
Wonderland Adventures Episode 2: Mysteries of Fire Island
etc etc etc

(the last two indicate that there might be others - I have at least a third one planned out (and perhaps one day I'll leak the title, which is already set) - and some ideas for a fourth one. Should be all ready by ... oh... 2015. )

I'd go for "Wonderland Adventures 2: Mysteries of Fire Island"

My favourite is "Wonderland Adventures: Mysteries of Fire Island" because adding a 2 is something that too many game series do. You should make a poll for this.

Oooooh, you're making fun of us now?

Nah, just refering to the fact that I'm taking more and more time to get new games out.

Uh oh, are you beginning to get game maker's block?

EDIT: Well you could say that it means every next game that comes out will be more and more exciting.

As a fellow game designer *ahem*wannabe*ahem* I can relate to how you plan ahead of time what games you might be willing to tackle.

When it comes to naming the new game, it all depends on how the game relates to the previous installments. If the stories presented in the games lead directly into each other, creating a bigger picture of a story, you might want to add a "2" to the title, showing that the games have a certain order based on their placement in the storyline. If the games however have different, non-related stories using the same universe, you will be better off without using the "2", as for if it is miss-used it can seem as if the game is purpusfully using the number "2" as marketing device.

BTW, taking more time to make a game is a sign of an increase in the investment and work that you put into a game, usually resulting in a product of high quality.

I can definetly say it IS hard to sometimes come up with a new title for a game. Even SEGA and Nintendo did it.

I'm not sure about Nintendo, but SEGA did it at least twice.

For the titles of my games (some still haven't even left remote unwritten ideas), for sequels I just add the next number and then a random short sentence.

No examples. Not yet, at least

I think it will have some sort of "2" somewhere.

The second game does continue the story (after all, the glowing red sky and disappearing pirate ship was hinted at in Episode 1 and is the starting point of the rescue expedition to Fire Island). The third game - as planned right now - actually starts just moments after the end of the second... hmm, what could that mean???

Wonderland Adventures also left us wondering about the "Creepy Keep". When will we learn more about that? Will it be part 2B or part 4?

I'm sure we'll get back to the creep. I have an idea of how it could fit into the planned Episode 3 storyline, but I'm not sure I'm going to go with that.

As long as we finally visit "Willow Rock", I'm good.

You can find it on the WSW map.

I think it's Windy Hill cos I never heard "Willow Rock" before

Oh, trust me, there is such a thing as Willow Rock...

!!!There is a willow rock!!!

The tree in the middle should be the biggest tree in wonderland history!!
