Ready, Set, Parody! [Comedy] COMPLETE

#1 Post by Dreamgazer »

GO TO THE COMPLETED THREAD HERE. ♥

Rejected titles: Let's Parody! Let's Spoof! Parody Me!

I think you can tell what the premise of this NaNoRenO project is. It's Saturday Night Live with a twist. You get to be the director. Pick what series you want to spoof and then choose your actors from the cast of War (X Playing Pieces) - at least, those unlucky enough to be available for this casting call.

But have you ever played the Resistance game? In Ready, Set, Parody!, these are more than just parodies. They're also missions. When you choose your actors, there's no guarantee your party will survive.

Did you decide to go with the Walking Dead/Highschool of the Dead zombie premise? You better hope everyone gets along and can lend a helping hand. Will that couple you chose overcome all those obstacles and get to be together? Are you going to be able to defeat that final boss? You're not only the director but the commanding officer. Choose wisely. ♥

What Series Are Getting Spoofed?

I'm not going to put down a concrete list just yet, as it's still very liable to changes. As I'm sure you can tell, this thread is fashionably late (or let's just pretend it is), and I still have a birthday party to plan this month. I'll have to see just how many parodies I can get done, especially since I have to draw up new sprites to fit in with the NaNoRenO criteria.

However, I can tell you there's a little bit of everything - movies, shows, games, and books. Action, romance, mystery, and maybe horror. Moby Dick was once an option, but then, I nixed it. Mostly because I wasn't sure whether seeing my characters chase whales on a boat all day is that interesting or very funny after a while. So far, Undertale is likely to be included, seeing how it was requested. (I think, half-jokingly, but all the same, I'll try my best to go for it!)

Leave Your Feedback

If you have the time, I'd definitely appreciate it if you could answer these few short questions.

1) What do you think of the concept so far? Are you interested in playing this game? (By now, you've probably realized that it's also doubling as my April Fools' special!)

2) What parody are you hoping to see, if any?

3) Is there a particular costume you'd like to see my characters wear? (I can't make any promises, with my schedule being what it is. You could say this is mostly out of curiosity. ;))

4) Do you have any other comments or questions?

Keep in Touch!

Do you want to see how Ready, Set, Parody! develops and watch me scramble madly for the finish line? Just follow me in any of the social media linked below. I'll also post updates here periodically. If you want to get a hold of me ASAP, e-mail me at [askdreamgazer@gmail.com].

Hey, I'm Tumblr! | Tweet, tweet, tweet at my Twitter | I'm just Facebook.

P.S. If you have your own NaNoRenO project, I'll cheer you on! We can support each other. Let's do this!

I am! I love comedy games and it looks like a lot of fun! I'm curiose to see what sort of paradies will be pulled out!

2) What parody are you hoping to see, if any?

I feel like a Harry Potter spoof would be funny!

3) Is there a particular costume you'd like to see my characters wear?

I'm a nerd for sailor scouts

I'm definitely bookmarking this thread,

So you finally posted your Nano WIP (fashionably late).

I don't think I've ever played a parody so can't really answer your questions.

But good luck with your Nano entry.

I understand it's for the sake of comedy but I'd really recommend you use only one font for the logo. Otherwise it looks to unprofesional

1) What do you think of the concept so far? Are you interested in playing this game?

I think it's a great concept -- I really like things that play with genre, and I think an open-ended parody show offers a lot of fun possibilities.


2) What parody are you hoping to see, if any?

This is kind of a cop-out answer, but my favorite parodies are ones where you can tell the creator really understands the source material. I'll read a good parody even if I don't know what it's parodying.


3) Is there a particular costume you'd like to see my characters wear?

Cool hats. :D


4) Do you have any other comments or questions?

I'm curious... if this doesn't spoil too much, what will the structure be like? Are there decisions throughout or is it more linear after you make decisions at the beginning?

Best of luck!

Thanks for your support and good wishes, everyone! I'm feeling really pumped for this.

Hello, Hi.In.Ni! I took your suggestion and fixed up the logo. You're awesome for pointing it out for me. I think I need to adjust it some more, but for now, I hope it looks more professional. If you have any other feedback, please feel free to let me know!

Hi there, YossarianIII! I can tell you that the amount of choices you have (if any) will be based off what parody you chose in the beginning. Hopefully, that doesn't sound too confusing, but I think if I say any more, that might give away too much. ;)

Also, progress report:
♢ I finished writing 1/2 of one parody.
♢ I updated the first post with my finished pic of Ambrosia. The full image is actually pretty big, but if you want to see it, the full one's up on my Tumblr here.

I'll have some more screenshots of what I've been working on up soon. Let me know what y'all think!

(( i guess im the fashionably late with this comment haha sorry ))

1) What do you think of the concept so far? Are you interested in playing this game? (By now, you've probably realized that it's also doubling as my April's Fool special!)
I'm very interested in this concept! It will be so intriguing to see these characters in new settings, like fun AUs!

2) What parody are you hoping to see, if any?
Ohhh man I like what I'm seeing already with the Sailor Mars and Elsa cosplay for Ambrosia! (Half of me wants to see Night or Onyx or any other guy as tuxedo mask too~)

3) Is there a particular costume you'd like to see my characters wear? (I can't make any promises, with my schedule being what it is. You could say this is mostly out of curiosity. ;))
I know we are already really far into March so I don't want to add to your stress!! All of this is very fun and interesting already!~

4) Do you have any other comments or questions?
Good luck and I'm rooting for you!!!

Hi, UsaBerryHime! Thanks for answering my questions and for your good wishes. I'm going into this, full throttle!

Glad it managed to tickle your funny bone. :)

Anyway, I updated the first post with the boys' sprites. Feel free to guess who they're cosplaying as. I'd love to hear what you think.

Have an awesome rest of the week, everybody.

1) What do you think of the concept so far? Are you interested in playing this game? (By now, you've probably realized that it's also doubling as my April Fools' special!)
I CANT WAIT. So far your games seem to be some of the only games I would play as I am very picky in my choices. I hope when your finished with the other main game I am able to put it on a pedestal like I do with ascension by rinmaru! Please do your best!

2) What parody are you hoping to see, if any?
I know this is a bit far fetched but I would kinda like to see an ohshc thing goin on. Or a tokyo crazy paradise theme. youve quite clearl given that your doing walking dead which is damn awesome. How about a teen wolf version or a narnia version. I could kind of see wind as a more aggressive and mean aslan XD.

3) Is there a particular costume you'd like to see my characters wear? (I can't make any promises, with my schedule being what it is. You could say this is mostly out of curiosity. ;))
Can I get night to dress rediculously? I love the bad boy act as much as the next girl but sometimes you just like seeing the bad guy acting flustered and ut of character a bit. Get what I'm sayin?

4) Do you have any other comments or questions?

Yea....when will this game be ready? Because I am totally waiting for it. Ciao~!
Writer looking for EXP go ahead and hit me up. ;D You know you want to.
