Horror Beneath the Sea · 5:05pm Aug 11th, 2016
So, what started as a sort of talking about games we'd love to see brought into the Vogonverse lead L0rd0f7hund3r, MoltenXKid, and myself to consider doing Bioshock. We got to talking about it, and it seemed like a good idea. Honestly, it seemed like a really awesome idea to run with. Naturally we couldn't do it with the Bioshock's universe as we know it, but none of us saw any reason we couldn't have had some investors believe that building a city under the water, away from the rest of society as nothing other than a good thing. Which lead us to decide to start Horror Beneath the Sea.
What does this mean exactly? Well, we're certainly going to be taking liberties with the Splicers, and the Big Daddies. Ryan and Fontaine won't be in this, sorry, but expect a couple of characters to take their place. It certainly didn't seem right to use the normal set of characters we'd been using, so instead we decided to use a few background ponies without any names, giving them those names, and of course backstories all around. Not to mention two humans who round out the team. The only 'official' character to the story is Princess Celestia, and she will be appearing from time to time, it will mainly be communications, or her answering questions to the press about the mission itself.
The story is going to have several elements from Bioshock, you can't have a Bioshock inspired story without those elements, but it's not going to be the same story we saw with Jack Ryan in the original Bioshock.
Okay, for those of you who might be mad about possible spoilers concerning Bioshock itself. The game came out in 2007, the game is nearly ten years old, all considerations about Spoilers officially die at one year, two if you're a saint. So, yeah, no worry about spoilers because I'm sure all of you have either played, watched lets play, or heard enough about the game to not have it spoiled.
So, since we're going to have some elements from the first Bioshock, what are we looking at? We are looking at Splicers, re-imagined to fit into the technology available in the Vogonverse, Big Daddies that also fit the level of technology available in the Vogonverse. Little Sisters are not out of the question, and their function won't be much different than it was in the original Bioshock. Expect to see a bit more sex and gore.
This is certainly going to be a bloody adventure, and I hope that all of you are able to come, ride along, and enjoy it with us!
There's a name for that.
"It Was His Sled" or something like that. A spoiler that's something well within the cultural codex, and should surprise nobody.
