Riot Forge - Tumblr Posts
So... it has been a little bit since Riot Games had the mass lay-offs and closed down Riot Forge. Let me just say that the closing of Riot Forge sucks, majorly. Of the games I played, I really liked their output. Ruined King is awesome, and while over the course of playing it I just grew to both love and hate Convergence but overall it was still a fun experience.
I know they still got Bandle Tale coming out, which will be the last Riot Forge game, I think. So I just wanted to speak quickly of an idea I think could have been cool to see if Riot Forge had not been closed.
An isometric twin-stick shooter starring Graves and Twisted Fate.
I've been doing some reading on the characters cause I think they seem genuinely interesting. A game starring them on their adventures could be so interesting. As a fan of Darksiders Genesis my first thought is get Airship Syndicate to do the game I suggest, but I do think getting a different developer would work too. I'm thinking Upstream Arcade, the people behind West of Dead and Hellboy: Web of Wyrd. Mostly because of the former than the latter.
Maybe with Riot working on projects outside of their usual multi-player wheelhouse we could hopefully get something like this, but I'm not holding my breath.
Would any of you wish for this too? Or do you have ideas for what other characters could have gotten their own game? Which character and what kind of game?
Since it has been on my mind again, I want to talk about maybe another idea that could have been cool to see Riot Forge try out: a game set in ancient Shurima that focuses on the story of the Ascended versus the Void, or how the Darkin would become the Darkin. Or something that does both?
It could maybe something like the Civilization series of games, or maybe something like what I've seen of Marvel's Midnight Suns. Now that I think about, a smaller version of Midnight Suns would probably be a good idea for a game set around the Ascended versus the Void. I have heard that Midnight Suns is like XCOM, a game I have never played, so maybe whoever it was that Riot Forge could have hypothetically gotten for the game could pull off a 2D version of that gameplay.
Kinda wish I had more to say, but the ideas are not popping in my head all that easily. I do think it would be cool to get more of an idea on the Darkin before they were the Darkin, so who knows, maybe Riot themselves will give the idea a try one day.
Graves and TF would make a fun game, especially since Graves did say they'd go plan heist in other places, so the couple is one of the characters that aren't stuck to one place... But I'd like it to be in Bilgewater, since it has a charismatic geography, culture and characters.
I think a game about Yorick's story would be cool, though... Just by hearing his voice lines I feel goosebumps. Exploring his story would be interesting (same to Jax. Both of them lost their homes to something beyond their control)
TfGraves would be the fun silly game, Yorick would be the I-just-cried-my-soul-out game
