Hey, Gabe here! New to posting so I hope this is the right place.I’m a comic artist/animator mainly, but the FGC has been a big deal to me for a few years now. Together with a small team, I’m working to produce an animated series heavily inspired by this stuff!
Because I’m working on a project like this, I really want you guys to be able to get a little more involved; tell me when i’m fucking up. So, hopefully I can make you guys something rad and you can help me do it!
ANYWAYS, here we go:
The Patreon has the most info, but I’ll run through it here in case you don’t wanna click.
Atomik Token Town is about illegal fighting games and robots, mainly. It centers on the friendship between two dudes as they bond over fighting games and try to save the arcade they work at (Token Town). I want to focus on how when you play for real, these games are all about slamming our SOULS against each other. The fighting games they play are all fake- imaginary versions of real games. Instead of Street fighter they have Fist Breaker, and instead of Marvel Vs. Capcom they have…
Wonder Vs. is something I’m really excited about- I’ve gotten a ton of my comic friends (published, online, unpublished) to lend me their characters, so it’s basically an Indie version of MvC. My brother(programmer at Disney) also built an engine, though, so Wonder Vs. is actually going to be playable! The beta is one of the reward tiers in my patreon, but working with you guys on it and getting your advice would be invaluable. The patreon is the easiest way to see all of the characters (there’s 20-ish right now so i dont really wanna copy/paste haha), so if you’re interested, take a look! I’ll break down some of the more interesting characters in this thread as they develop, if you want. One of them is a car! one of them is actually 3 characters! Instead of super bars, you have 9 Cards (3 rock, 3 paper, 3 scissors) that you use to perform specials.
Back to ATT- a large part of the show is going to be them playing games, mainly Wonder Vs. In fact, a lot of it is going to be actual recorded footage of the game (Sort of like a stream, or a lets play!), intercut with dialog and dramaticized button pushing:
So, it’s important that the game be HYPE, not POOP. The rest of the show has them competing in illegal Wonder Vs. competitions where they actually have to bet stuff like arms, or people. They also fight giant robots with a modded fightstick as the controller. I don’t wanna spoil too much of the show, but a lot of it is scripted and I’m not too picky about sharing, if you’re actually interested, heh.
I really hope this is something you guys will like- I’m basically making it for you, haha. If I’m lucky this is something you’d be interested in helping me out on, and if i’m luckier i posted it on the right board, haha.
Let me know what you think. Be honest!
(As for me, I’m kinda bad at fighting games, but I play SF IV, MvC3, and a lot of Killer Instinct lately. KI rules, haha!)
