Question of the Month: February 2019 edition
2019’s Question of the Month series will see bloggers come together in a virtual development studio. Every month we’ll be asking brave volunteers to come forward and share their ideas for a single element of a title, so all the winning answers from the community can be blended together at the end of the year to create a title to overshadow all others: The Ultimate Video Game! Read on to find out more along with how you can take part.
The development team so far:
The game so far:
This month’s game element:
February’s game element is: the protagonist.
Tell us about the star of The Ultimate Video Game and how they fit into January’s setting. If you’re thinking we should take our release in an RPG or action direction, you’ll probably need a main player-character: possibly a leader-of-the-party type or perhaps an unassuming everyman or woman. But if a puzzler or something abstract is more your thing, maybe there won’t be a character as such but you might have some sort of avatar. Or is the protagonist the player themselves?
We want to know who this character is, what they look like, their preferences, strengths, weaknesses – anything to help us get to know them. Make sure your answer refers back to the setting chosen in January and explains how the protagonist fits into the environment. Be careful though: we’ll be covering story elements in a later month so stay focused on the subject for February and don’t stray too much into the plot.
The rules:
Good luck to everybody who’d like to take part this month. We’re looking forward to hearing your ideas for The Ultimate Video Game!

It’s a shame I completely missed January’s post and I really hope I can come up with something good for this month! This idea it’s really wonderful and I trust in December the Ultimate Video Game will be a great product! 🙂

You can already start a crowdfunding campaign! At least you have a setting…

I just read the entry that won January, and I am feeling VERY intimidated. What an amazing piece! I might though!

Luke’s idea was so good – we were all blown away by his setting, and are looking forward to seeing how others create game elements to work with it. That being said though, you could always create your own setting and protagonist if there’s something you have in mind!

As Chris said, there’s so much scope with your own January setting for all sorts of stories. He seems pretty keen to do some Requiem short-fiction if that’s something you’d be interested in!
