The sheer brutality of the setting would be interesting, sure. But I kind of wonder what would you do about narrative or direction in the game, would it just be open world?
Because in the book they never even find the warlord they were after, they just sort of stumble from one atrocity to another until they manage to piss off a native tribe that is good at night raids.

This book was so ass. Unreadable literary wankery.

How about it plays like Killer7? Just have dreamlike cutscenes in between violent massacre. Been forever since I read the book but I think that could work.

What is this, and where can I get more?

Don't know if OP had comic books in mind, but as much as League of Extraordinary Gentlemen turned into an incredible clusterfuck, there were a lot of interesting setting ideas you could put a game into.
I would love something with a sub-pirate working for the Nemo family on Lincoln Island. You could, on top of usual business be dealing with all the crazy Lovecraft shit floating around the League setting, or dealing with their weird version of the Nazis with German Impressionist hell-cities in the '40s and weird robot stuff afterwards.

A Flashman adventure game where you have to juggle survival and not being found out as a fraud. Fucking sad this series only got one movie adaptation. Could never be made today.
Kevin Jackson
The Quran. Think about it.
It will appease lolicons, fans of war games, and people who hate gays.
Parker Nelson
too much a brainlet to appreciate LOGH? ok
Ethan Gonzalez
If Myth was to go by, more vidya game writers need to read Glen Cook.
Gavin Murphy
When I was reading this book I constantly thought the it was the authors intention.

Isaac Bell
Would make a pretty cool horror game
Xavier Lee
How would you even adapt Johnny's parts?
Josiah Long
I actually haven't read it beyond the meme excerpts about the color hashtags, i don't even know if it's a good book or not.
Zachary Perry
Matthew Parker
a mountaineering sim using google earth would be sick
Samuel Baker
Are you really going to say that you were satisfied with The Tempest?
Did all the characters fucking off into space to jerk themselves off for all eternity really give you any sense of closure?
Josiah Edwards
While STALKER already exists, I feel like a game that more closely follows Roadside Picnic could be really interesting.
Like instead of having to deal with armed camps and bandits, have the game be an objective-based, go in, get the artifacts, and get out, survival game focusing on charting your course and avoiding patrols.
Or you could do both a legal and illegal thing where you get some official jobs working for the Science Institute where you have lots of protective gear/vehicles and no guards, giving you the chance to map out a route and chart out anomaly locations. Then follow that up with an unoffical run where you don't have much gear and have to sneak past the military/police, but have the maps/intel that you made in your prior jobs.

Three factions for all tastes:
>Federation: Based and Redpilled white Texans who believe in the murrican dream driving wagon trains to reclaim post-apocalyptic America (none of that fallout ruins bullshit nature's reclaimed that shit long ago)/a bunch of cloned cucks living in underground bunkers living the dystopian dream/Gaijin
>SJW hippie free love shamans crossed with biker gangs crossed with native americans/Fucking degenerate mutants in need of a good napalming/Slaves
>Honrabbru Samurai/fucking weeaboos/fucking weeaboos
fuck 50s themed apocalypses, let's get 80s topgun level with this shit. I want to reclaim the blue-sky world from the lumpheads.
Matthew Miller
this one right here, maybe a survival game?
premise: one day in 1998 modern industrial technology ceases to work. No electricity, internal combustion, or gunpowder can output any amount of meaningful work.

Books are boring
Landon Butler
Henry Kelly
try reading them with a funny voice
Robert Russell
isn't it basically red dead redemption
Jacob Cooper
The Great Gatsby would make a baller ass game.
Angel Perez
So physics just stop?
Grayson Gray
I'm too dumb to read this book. The way it is written gives me a headache and I need to read each page numerous times to understand what the fuck it's saying, and even then I still might be lost.
Justin Murphy
Don't doubt yourself, it's pretty hard to get through.

I'd read it

Henry Gutierrez
what is everyone besides him reading right now?
Kayden Myers
and barely anyone has heard of it, I wouldn't if Wagner hadn't partially based his operas around it
Anthony Harris
I just want a dune game, I'd be satisfied with an RTS style game where spice is the currency and you can have sandoworm troops
Lincoln Fisher
It'd be a David Cage thing. Really fucking shitty with a mediocre story.
Wyatt Taylor
>Ian Cumpstey
Caleb Morgan
City at The End of Time. I get this feeling that Greg Bear really, really liked The Night Land.
Brody Turner
The Dark Tower.
An open world set in Midworld would be very interesting, or you could adapt Roland's story to a third person shooter, fantasy western setting. I think it'd be pretty cool.
Alexander Sanders
you do know the that there is a well respected Dune rts right?
Juan Torres
Colton Scott
Jace Nguyen
Robert Campbell
What the fuck went on with all the books that came after?
Tyler Phillips
It only needed a whore to be a full Frank Miller comic
John Moore
That book is lame.

Fuck off.
Dylan Hill
Evan Baker
Oh wow, It looks awful.
Jaxon Anderson
Indeed it is.
Tyler Cook
so 99% of Yea Forums nice
Daniel Fisher
Not really. What made House of Leaves good was how it was written in a way where it could ONLY be told through a book.
Caleb Rivera
Cooper Green
LotR: the two towers.
I’ve read Blood Music by him, are his other books good?
Andrew Sanders
>think about it for a minute
Holy shit it would be fantastic. Scalping natives left and right with your band of degenerates while constantly avoiding violent rape by the judge.

I’ve always wanted a game of this

I never even saw it but I really have no desire to. What a cock tease, man.

There's a few write ups online that help. I definitely missed several key points early on due to the way the author writes but once pointed out to me I was better able to interpret later parts of the book. I hated the road the when I read it years back. Now that I better under stand his writing style via blood meridian I kind of want to go back and give the road another chance.
Blake Russell
ah, blood meridian, monsieur? that novel is the sark and chaparral of literature, the filament whereon rode the remuda of highbrow, corraled out of some destitute hacienda upon the arroya, quirting and splurting with main and with pyrolatrous coagulate of lobated grandiloquence. our eyes rode over the pages, monsieur, of that slatribed azotea like argonauts of suttee, juzgados of swole, bights and systoles of walleyed and tyrolean and carbolic and tectite and scurvid and querent and creosote and scapular malpais and shellalagh. we scalped, monsieur, the gantlet of its esker and led our naked bodies into the rebozos of its mennonite and siliceous fauna, wallowing in the jasper and the carnelian like archimandrites, teamsters, combers of cassinette scoria, centroids of holothurian chancre, with pizzles of enfiladed indigo panic grass in the saltbush of our vigas, true commodores of the written page, rebuses, monsieur, we were the mygale spiders too and the devonian and debouched pulque that settled on the frizzen studebakers, listening the wolves howling in the desert while we saw the judge rise out of a thicket of corbelled arches, whinstone, cairn, cholla, lemurs, femurs, leantos, moonblanched nacre, uncottered fistulas of groaning osnaburg and kelp, isomers of fluepipe and halms awap of griddle, guisado, pelancillo.

The first anime-styled game was called Lolita, but it was just a porn-loli-game that had nothing to do with the book
Colton Martin
based as shit
Kayden Morgan
Odyssey
Ethan Young
It could be a nice experiment if made as burgerpunk
Aaron Diaz
There was a TBS game from Wargaming.net set on Saraksh after the end of Strugatskis' Inhabbitat Island, but goddamnit i want more games in that setting. The movie was a legendary piece of shit.
Ryan Thompson
Why? A Stellaris like game set in the Foundation world would be great. Just don't focus on the specific events of the book and focus on the setting
Angel Torres
Most devs don't have the balls to adapt that book due
