ITT: Books that'll make good vidyas
Jason Ward
Joseph Myers
the stormlight archives would make a horrendous game. You'd probably end up having to play Shallan the whole fucking time.
Brayden Morris
Ah, so it'll play like Doom but with a kid?
Ethan Carter
kind of? in some parts I guess but it would mainly be some espionage sections, lots of exposition dumps, and a whole lot of crying
Ayden Brooks
I'm still mad, Shallan was based and enjoyable in book 1. It was straight to shit once Sanderson got lost in this schizo garbage.
Jason Myers
>it's another pampered rich girl getting with too perfect to reasonably exist pretty boy
they have nothing in common except physical attraction, I'm still seething
Luis Barnes
At least Adolin's a good lad, a shame he won't fuck his sword, she is clearly the better woman
Blake Thomas
>that anime fight at the end
what a shitty way to end the first book
David Jackson
when I first started the books I actually liked her parts a lot more than kaladins. I especially liked the dynamic with Jasnah but then sanderson decided to toss all that potential in the trash for schizo/mary sue shit
Matthew Thompson
I’m torn about Stormlight Archive making a decent game. On the one hand, the metro games already gave us “currency as a combat resource” and I love the world. On the other, the surges are way too open ended to make satisfactory in a game, and modern game developers are incapable of making something where your starting class changes the entire game (Windrunners aren’t going to play the same as Truthwatchers or Lightweavers)
Kevin Jenkins
Shallan made me drop the series. Her schizo chapters are a pain to read
Brody Young
>Check out Branderson's news to see if he released anything for Mistborn
>He literally wrote four fucking books in secret and revealed them in a kickstarter
>One of the four has major Stormlight spoilers
The man's a machine, I'll give him that
Jeremiah Jenkins
She chose
Isaac Smith
>he still reads books in 2022
top fucking kek
Zachary Moore
It would likely not be an RPG, not because it wouldn't be good, but because it'd be too much work like you said.
I think they'd do a retarded RTS, completely wasting the concept btw, and have the Radient and shardbarers be champion type units, or a beat em up where you don't get stronger, you just get more combos
Brayden Powell
O yea because a game that's 40 hours of non-stop dumb-as-shit philosophy would be totally amazing.
Jackson Robinson
The mans a fag but china melviles perdido street station could make a good deus ex style game.
Adrian Williams
He actually wrote 5 in secret, he's just publishing 4 under kickstarter. This is all the while he wrote misborn 7. Definitely a machine, has prose like a machine too.
Hudson Rodriguez
You could probably do a decent RTS with Radiants as normal units,
Jayden Green
Daniel Harris
Edgewood Chronicles
Michael Cooper
Not this mormon shit again...
Charles Reyes
I'm looking for a fiction novel to read where the corporations won, the military-industrial complex is in full effect and everyone is some form of soldier and hates their life. Not looking for heartwarming stories or life lessons. I want misery ontop of sci-fi. Suggestions?
Jeremiah Russell
>stormlight is mana
>2 factions with 10 classes each
>each class with 5 skills (ideal levels)
>factions literally activate their pvp status in the books and seek duels with enemies
>huge world with different biomes, rife for exploring by adventurers
it's HEAVILY inspired by WoW, and it shows, but it could make a decent game
Austin Howard
Discworld
James Perez
Been there, done that.
Leo Garcia
you know orson scott card's a mormon too
the first few books of the ender series are pretty good
Alexander Ramirez
The Malazan series, imagine being a bridgeburner kicking it with the bros.
Dominic Edwards
Dune is technically that.
Except its so far down that path that the heads became merchant nobility.
Leo Robinson
Neuromancer
Jaxon Sullivan
sounds like you want Old Man's War, by Scalzi, or The Forever War by Haldeman
Jonathan Fisher
Read both of these, you're on the right track anons. Forget about all the popular things we talk about often enough, I need something way more obscure.
Asher Wright
Alright, thanks. I'll check these out.
Jace Ross
I think humanity has accepted their own reality far too much to write any more "the corpos win, suck it common man"
Christian King
>tfw just started gardens of the moon yesterday
only read the Pale chapters (1-4) so far but I'm liking it
Josiah Ramirez
Bakker is king.
Dominic Reed
>Writing a fantasy novel
>15 chapters in and the fatigue sets in
>Spend all day daydreaming about the story I think is nice and cohesive, doesn't bloat too much and keeps a tight scope.
>Can't seem to put it into words anymore.
I really want to write the rest of the story. I'm excited to put it into physical, tangible words instead of a cloud of ideas wafting around in my head. Should I take a break?
Mason Wright
books 1-6 are all really great, 1,2 and 5 especially
7 is ok
8 is horrible
9 and 10 are non-stop action but it's so much that it becomes legit tiring, i had to force myself to finish the series, and was burned out out reading for like 6 months after
Ryder Diaz
No, breaks are bad.
What you should do is reset your position, work from a different angle.
If you take a break you might ease your fatigue but you will also forget. It's much better to ease up on your workload and instead try and reinvent your schedule.
Nicholas Morales
Same, I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes given all I've heard about the series over the years.
You could start doing writing prompts to fill wordcounts user, even if they're not related to what you're already working on. It's more about discipline to get more words down on paper than a few sentences you pick over endlessly, and it also helps to train yourself into writing things that don't come naturally to you.
Logan Nguyen
Anthony Ross
break down the story into chunks, and then break down the chunks into smaller scenes, i find this approach helps me best.
also, you need a routine, set at least 2 hours/day for this and KEEP AT IT, the moment you say "i'm not feeling it today" you're gonna say the same thing every other day
Grayson Williams
Brandon Sanderson sucks. And you should feel bad for supporting him
Christopher Jenkins
If only they weren't overpriced as fuck.
William Brooks
I've tried to write a book once by winging it, now I record everything in a spreadsheet file and I won't start until I practically have a small summary of each chapter
Gabriel Ross
8 is the most divisive book in the series. In a recent poll of Malazan fans, Toll the Hounds actually came in near the top of favorite books. 9 is consistently ranked second worse, with Gardens always being the worst (and it's undeniably the worst). That's because 9 and 10 are intended as a single book.
I didn't get tired out by any of the books, but I read the series in 20 minute bursts on the bus to and from work. It really just depends on if what the series does works for you.
Dylan Gomez
I'd say 8 is slow until the last quarter or so which is one of the best parts of the series.
Mason Sanders
mistborn would probably be a better pick, you can make a new story during any point of the final empire
Charles Flores
You know remember a vaporware Mistborn game with Sanderson writing a unique story was indev at one point
Thomas Stewart
Austin Clark
>rpg where you play as power-hungry wizard trying to rise his position in politics by using demons/spirits/djinns against other wizards
or
>stealth game where you play as shapehifting djinn sent on near-impossible suicide missions by crazy power-hungry wizard
Elijah Sanchez
Simp book. Man walks around aimlessly, becoming infatuated with every piece of pussy that shows him a lick of attention, accomplishing little to nothing. Every once in a while, he he has to use his sword. He proceeds to kill everything in a single blow, because of the magical weight inside the blade. Then the author writes something about mirrors being windows to the past or some shit, before going back to simping.
Levi Scott
Wait, isn't this the book where the MC is a cuck faggot?
Parker Clark
Holy fucking cucks.
Carson Price
He's more of a whiny bitch, I would say
Noah King
Try writing short stories that incorporate your ideas instead. You can actually finish those and you'll build a "world" instead of having them stuck in your head.
Camden Morris
no, that's Name of the Wind
Andrew Edwards
This really sounds awful. Why do writers do this?
Josiah Smith
Is this shit actually good? I bought the first book when it first came out but never read it.
Lucas Smith
>written by a woman
You get what you deserve.
Seriously, about the only decent female authors I've ever read were like Anne Mccaffrey.... no, wait, that's it. I was gonna bring up Leguin but the cunt went crazy a long time ago.
Evan Murphy
>Joanna Russ
>Author of THE FEMALE MAN
Noah Ross
Still waiting for a good Ghost in the Shell video game.
Lincoln Carter
Neverever
On the upside, since you're fan of cyberpunk you'll be happy to know that there is a metric fuckton of them coming out within the next 24 months. You may not even care about GITS in the end.
Christian Campbell
It's good if you like worldbuilding, autistically going into how the magic works and virtuous characters doing virtuous stuff or trying to.
Levi Reed
>On the upside, since you're fan of cyberpunk you'll be happy to know that there is a metric fuckton of them coming out within the next 24 months.
Will they be good games though?
Christopher Davis
These books are absolute awesome&comfy.
>(western) isekai
>but multiple people and multiple continents and multiple pov (and the natives arent as dumb)
>innkeeper, dragons, runners, drakes, cat people, magic academy, an alpha male [king] of destruction, good gobs/bad gobos, a gobo [lord], a necromancer, ant people, a blind [emperor], an awsome [lady], a [doctor] in a world full of magic/warzone/nobody knowing about not killing doctors, a bee, chess
>a class system
It would work really well as a vidya.
Nathaniel Wright
Jaxon Myers
It's basically a fantasy underdog sport story for its A plot, then I guess mostly political maneuvering foe the B and C plots.
Everyone loves the A plot, but you get mixed feelings on the B plot that follows a mary sue, then everyone likes the C plot, but it isn't as good as the A plot.
I'd suggest it, but not liking shallan(plot b) is extremely common.
Thomas Rivera
A distinct possibility that some will be. This latest slew of cyberpunk games (of which there are many) seems like the 80's and 90's fans of the genre got a little pissed off with the current market and went into creative overdrive.
James Gonzalez
I wonder why you don't see alot of red wall like stories anywhere...
Or redwall anything passed the books. I saw a couple novies, but never of the entirety
Jose Harris
Beat me too it, I want this book tho. But any Redwall would be insanely good I think.
Kayden Sullivan
new audio book at end of month user
Ian Stewart
Such as?
Charles Bell
Or really anything with that pseudo Arthurian feel
Juan Nelson
Author is too based
Why Marlfox specifically
Luis Allen
William Sanchez
Is there an intended order to these?
I remember reading redwall and then Lucas or whatever the prequel was called
Luis Harris
Just pirate it... just give a looksy, not claiming it's good or anything, but just try it.
Landon Adams
>sandersoy
nope
James Harris
EXEkiller, Core Decay and Vigilance 2099 are at the top of my list.
John Morris
I only read way of kings was that the retard at the library or whatever? I hated reading her shit too
Charles Martin
>Author: Pirateaba
Is this some wattpad fucking tripe?
Chase Powell
Honestly looks cool, I'll try it thanks user.
Isaiah Morris
It's generally recommended to read them in the order they were published, but a lot stand on their own. If you want a really solid standalone one I'd say Long Patrol's your best bet
Jaxson Bell
To where will they go,
This is a secret nobeast may know.
Marlfox!
Plundering murdering vulpine thieves,
Who blend with stone,
Or meld with leaves.
Marlfox!
See the pale eyes and swirling cloak,
Appear like nightmare,
Vanish like smoke.
Marlfox!
What steals upon the silent air,
Gleaming fangs, mottled fur,
A deadly axblade lying there.
Marlfox!
Nobeast living can hide from thee,
O thou who treads invisibly,
Cross hill and vale, through woods and rocks.
Marlfox! Marlfox! Marlfox!
I dunno I just thought the Foxes were the coolest villains he came up with and would make neat boss fights/enemies
Jason Cooper
I think this book would make as pretty good game.
