Later Level's Question of the Month:March 2019

After nearly winning last month's Question of the Month, March's asks up to come up with the antagonist. Every hero does need a villain, and kudos to Brandon of That Green Dude for coming up with a detective hero. For a villain, I think that the supernatural could work here, if thinking of games like Danganronpa. However, I think personal vendetta really make for more compelling story when it comes to these types of games.

One big thing will be important later on is bringing all these ideas together, to make the story cohesive and flow properly. However, if we stick to the theme here, I think that villain working on the inside would fit well with the games current theme. The detective could be called help with the current epidemic in the space hull, but that's going in too far

Ace Attorney seems to fit well here, after all, this is a detective game now. Maybe I borrow some concepts from there no?

For this I think 2 types of villeins would work well here:

1. A person that hates the evolution of technology on the Space Hull

This is a bit stereotypical, but here's what I think could be done with this theme. The person could be not only be sabotaging the new technology, but activity try to make go backwards to the point where survival is near impossible on space hull, forcing them to bring in the detective, in what would be essentially a race against time.  A bit cliched, I know, but here's the thing for me: this would interesting because the villain could easily change over time. With lives on the line, everything is possible. This also brings in some interesting opportunities for side charaters, but that's not for this blog.

It's like with game consoles. While the tech gets better, we are pay £300-£500 every few years, not counting the games themselves.

2. A personal vendetta against the creator of the hull
Space involves one of the most diverse things known to man: science. The villain here would be doing similar things as the one in the first description, but this time, it's about someone that volunteered to help out, who died a tragic death. The person, who was close to this volunteer, wants revenge, but is go about it the wrong way, because they are blinded by both the hate and fear that is held in their hearts. 

After all, in their mind... "A heart is nothing but pain", right?

And that's it! This was a hard month to come up with something, since I really had to think about what the villain would do. Still this was very fun to do!

But for now, thanks for reading, share if you enjoyed it and I will catch you guys later.
