Inspirations of Stories




This story is called Man in the High Castle, it is an alternate history novel by American writer Philip K. Dick. The novel takes place fifteen years after a different end to World War II, and depicts  Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany, as they rule over the former United States, as well as daily life under totalitarian rule.


They've made a TV series based around this novel and it lasted for four seasons.

The pros of this being made into a comic are very intresting as it would be good to see the outcome of another world where events played out differently.

There are of coruse cons to this as people may view this to be a highly contraversal thing to be showing, as it shows the Nazis wining the war.

The way I can adapt this into my story is to use the concept of another world to visit and explore.

His Dark Materials is a series fantasy novels by Philip Pullman. The story is centered around coming of age of two children, Lyra Belacqua and Will Parry, as they wander through a series of parallel universes.


They have made a film based of the novel in 2007 and a TV series in 2019. The show has currently finished its first season and is making the second.

The main charactrer is Lyra Belacqua, a 11 year old girl who is a rebellious child but goes on this journey to venture off to mysteries and different worlds. Lorek, a sentient polar bear and a former warrior acompanies her on her journey.

The pros of this story is the story telling and the lore behind their world and how things work out. Also the prospect of an alternative universe.

The Cons would be about the story itselef, about getting the dust and it might've been done before.

The way I would implament this into my story would be to add the adventure based content into my story.

The Practice Effect is a novel by David Brin, which depicts the scientific side of the concept of the Multiverse.

There is no other spin off based on this book.

The main character in this story is Dennis Nuel, a scientist who works to figure out the manipulation of space and time after the death of his mentor.

The pros in this include the scientific angle of the multiverse, explaining the inner workings and how it truely operates.

A con would be that this story would be a little old fansished and would be needing of a little updating.

I would update the information by showing the facts we have now compared to the ones then, showing how time evolved since then.

The Long Earth UK Book Cover.jpg

The Long Earth was written by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter in a first of more novels. This books tells about a series of parrael earths and their outcomes.



There are no shows, games or even comic series based around these novels as of yet.



The main character of this is called Joshua Valienté, an orphan, born on another world who ventures off to different worlds. Another character is Lobsang, an an artificial intelligence who claims to be a reincarnated Tibetan motorcycle repairman.



A pro could be the strong characters as it shows their wants and needs to travel to different worlds and see what they're like in their own eyes.



A con would be that there would be too many universes to try and keep account of.



I would show off the different outcomes and add more varaity to them, showing off their unquqness.



This book is called Particle Effects, written by David Brin. It shows how space and time works and opperates in a narritive setting. The character explore other worlds to try and advance their own science.


As of now, there are no games, comics, tv shows or even movies about this book.


The main character of the book is Dennis Nuel, a scientist who works to solve the mysteries of the univese and any others out there, motivated after the death of his mentor.


A pro I can see with this is the explanation and facts when it comes to the universe's and how they work.


A con is that the story seems a little stale, the enemies of the books could be better and is indeed of some neuance and viusal explanation.


If I was in charge of wrtiting this, I would place the story in a more mordern setting, where science has advanced since this book was realeased and try to make it more intresting by being more descriptive.

Kahoot Quiz

This is an image from a website called Kahoot that specialises in making and playing quiz games. This image is of off my quiz I made for others to use.


This quiz was based around Video Games thoughout the decade. The reaserch of this was both a mix of looking at sites like google and wikipedia and my own personal experiance of playing games the past ten years and what my thoughts were on them, making questions that were based on personal experiance.


The image on the top of the screen is the set up of where the questions I have made are set up, they can be edited or deleted.


I got the images for the questions on goggle and used them for each question I asked. The images I choose didn't reveal too much information and were rather expressive and gave you the idea of what it was asking.

How I got the information for the questions were was a result of two things. The first being reaserching the information by using websties like goggle to look up the proper information to see if I got get it right. The second being my own personal experiance from playing these games, learning from the games from playing them or tuning in any game releated news.


I came up this this idea for a quiz when simply thinking up my previous experiance with video games.

HUD

This image is taken from a game called Hawken. And this particular image shows off one of the main features of the game and that is the HUD, or Heads Up Display.

The HUD shows important information on the players screen so that they're aware and can keep track of important things. Such as the number of ammunition you have, a map to show you were you are, a targeting display to show where you're aiming, the time limit, the amount of XP you have and the current rank you have.
