Team Prospero Brainstorming Thread - Project Eight: New Islands, New Adventures

[Pi on my Cake]

Wow. 12 pages in under 24 hours lol. That's insane! Can't wait to see how it all turns out

An obvious choice would be Zelda. But like Jokers said, Nintendo has so many great IPs that aren’t Mario, Zelda, or Pokémon. Pikmin would be cool. Animal Crossing would be popular. Heck, even Splatoon would bring in a crowd.

At the very least with Splatoon, we'd already have merch store ideas available.

If we didn't go for an obvious pick of Zelda or Pokemon, I think that Animal Crossing or Kirby could make for fun islands.

Splatoon could be a smart choice with how Nintendo's clearly positioning it as one of its mainstream franchises (which I can see happening in the next few games kinda like what happened with New Horizons).

It has an interesting world and I can see plenty of ways to adapt it into a ride format.

I’m genuinely curious because I’ve never played Animal Crossing... was it like actually popular before the new game was released? I don’t really remember many people talking about it before the new one

It definitely has a large fanbase. And with the new game, it’ll only grow.

Oh, yeah. Ever since the first game came out on the Gamecube, folks have liked the chill atmosphere and fun town aesthetic of the games. They may not be high-end adventures, but they definitely have an audience.

It definitely got far more mainstream during the lockdown. It released at the absolute best time.

Sidenote, not to get us off track, but I think that Ghibli is still worth exploring as well.

The handheld entries sold big numbers before (though it was a lot slower than NH), but I'd say the lockdown caused it to really explode to the mainstream.

 

[NigelChanning]

Have we settled on theming Toon Lagoon to Board Games? Because I honestly think it’s a great idea!

 

[Sharon&Susan]

I'll take the position of Project Manager unless if someone else really wants it (that hasn't stepped up for whatever reasons).

Invite me to your group message on the DC Island @JokersWild

 

[NigelChanning]

Can I be added onto the DC PM? I’d love to work on DC island

 

[goofyyukyuk]

I think I’m heading up the board games? So let me know if you want to work on it!

 

[NigelChanning]

I’d like to work on it as well as DC! So, I guess you can add me onto the Board Game PM and whoever’s heading up DC Island

I think we’re trying to have people working on only one land, at least based on what outbound said... idk if that’s what we’re still wanting to go with or not lol

Understandable. If that plan doesn’t work out, I’m super stoked about both ideas. For now, I’ll work on DC.

 

[Sharon&Susan]

I'll go with Outbound's model, each mini team has three members with their own PM (as we'd all get pretty lost if everyone brainstormed in this one thread). I won't get too specific here with the exact roles, so just reply what team you want to be on:
DC Island
1. @NigelChanning09
2. (I assume) @JokersWild
3.
Boardgame Island:
1. @goofyyukyukyuk17
2. @AceAstro (for now until we decide on the IP for Island 3)
3.
Undecided Island (Bond, Nintendo, Ghibli Capcom etc.)
1.
2.
3.
As the team leader I'll work with each of the teams. None of this is final.

 

[Outbound]

If we have people working on different aspects it’s fine.

I’ll join team board games. I can also make a map for the entire project if needed.

 

[AceAstro]

I think with just the number of people we have working on only one land makes it even out better as well!

 

[Sharon&Susan]

For now I'll stick with the one person in one team rule, if I see any reason to change this I will.

Is Jokers the PM of DC Island? I’m pretty sure we said each island has a PM that reports to the main PM.
