Title: Red vs Blue in Guns of Icarus?
Post by: Lehran on March 29, 2013, 05:04:14 pm
Hello everyone. Shinkurex, Voxx and I had the idea of making a web series for this game. We started talking about something like Red vs. Blue by roosterteeth. Now, we don't want a knock off of their series (for many reasons) but we do want to bring something new to the table. At the moment we need ideas, so feel free to comment below on your thoughts of this.

Oh my god, yes. I'd love to see a web series. There are so many things to joke about, I think it would be totally manageable.

So my vote is that Sunderland becomes the "Lopez" of the group :P

*Edit* It would also motivate him to get a MIC sooner rather than later :P

Meh, my voice would suck for voice acting.

The Sir Issac Phillips Foundation would also like to support this.

I wonder how many people remember that. We need the description game back.

A captain, drowning in debt and fleeing from retribution, assembles the only help he can find- a ragtag bunch of nincompoops- on a quest to chase rumors of a lost treasure. On the run from the loan sharks and federal agents, they must fight other treasure seekers and past baggage with old grudges for the captain's only salvation.


A crew of aviation officers patrol the skies for crime and citizens in help. One patrol, they hear a distress beacon from a nearby member of the squad, so they go to investigate. His ship has been destroyed; crew and rubble blanket the ground around the mortally-wounded lieutenant. He tells them of a plot against the government, and that an enemy nation is beginning an attack on their land. With his dying breath, he says that the plot goes deeper than anyone can imagine. The officers then choose: do they go for help, or do they take matters into their own hands? With the wind in their sails, and engines full of moonshine, they speed off to save the land they serve.


With no other options in front of him, our hero is left with two choices; he must either starve on the streets, or serve in this kingdom's aeronautical military in order to survive. With no experience, he is thrust into the crew of a daringly-brash and hot-headed gunnery captain; a nonsensical, yet accomplished, pilot; and a clumsy engineer who's knowledge is only matched by his/her butterfingers. Together, they are given the task to track a traitor who is assembling a revolution against the government, and bring him to justice.

Lemme know if I should think up more.

Wow, glad we got people on board. Now we will need script writers, people to help record and edit the series, voice actors, and someone to help us not get sued just in case.

I suggest we make a Skype/steam-group or something, so all who wants to can talk together about it

I can do some screen-writing if you need. First off we need a premise.

I like the war thing, considering you'll do it in Skirmish for now, you would need something where it's all fighting, just my two cents, maybe in the future for adventure mode you could release a "world" version, with different characters and story etc.

I can't really provide voice acting (my voice is bad for that) or writing (not my type of writing, really), but I could spread the word about it.

I can start a steam group if needed. That way we don't flood the forums.

As long as the series is unique, and does not copy anything that was trademarked by RvB, there would be no grounds to sue. That would pretty much mean not to name the series Red vs. Blue, use the same characters, hotlink or edit original pictures and scenes for the GoI:O series' use, copy scripts, etc. Simply making a web series about a video game is not trademarked. Otherwise, if the show made up its own plot, characters, and names, it would be totally fine.

I can write scripts, act, or whatever you need me for. I do have Fraps, but I do not have good editing software.

This sounds like its going to be a lot of fun, and I wanna be in on it.

Dibs for being Caboose! Or possibly Sarge... Nah just kudding, but this is rather interesting. I recall Qwerty having some interest in making a machinima as well.

The big problem I can see in this is that the acutual player models in GoIO doesn't have that many animations, and so the footage might be a bit stale.

I could do some voice acting for you guys if you wanted :D

I like the burning skies narration that is on qwerty's youtube channel. We could definitely use that kind of talent.
