Good grief....
Jul. 9th, 2006 12:13 pmElvis: The Legendary Tours has made it to number three in the What's Hot chart for the last 30 days at e23, and looks like it may even have a chance of reaching number two - no chance of number 1, which has four times the sales, but even so it's an excellent result. Meanwhile Diana: Warrior Princess is back in at the bottom of the chart - presumably this is people who bought Elvis without seeing Diana first and liked it enough to buy the original game.
If they put the Flatland game out quickly I might end up with three games there - doubt it's likely, because something else will overtake Diana fairly soon, and of course there's no certainty that Flatland will do well - but that'd be a pretty good result.

So... What Next
Jul. 9th, 2006 07:02 pmTrying to think of the next Dianaverse title.
Basically, it needs to be in the form of
[famous (preferably dead) person] (The / of / etc.) [something] [something] (optional [something])
And sound like the title of a well-known TV series or film, preferably one that shows a shaky grasp of historical accuracy.
E.g.
Diana: Warrior Princess
Elvis: The Legendary Tours
The examples I had in the original game that I don't think I'll be using for one reason or another:
Parton: Lust For Glory - (Military setting) - alive
Richard of Sherwood - (Nixon as Robin Hood) - boring
Toni the Vampire Slayer - (Toni Blair etc.) - alive, boring.
Gandhi's Angels - (detective series) - still a possibility, but detective games are difficult to write.
So - any suggestions?
[small print] Sorry, but for legal reasons I need to say up front that I'm not paying anything for suggestions - the best you can expect is a free copy of the PDF if I write the thing and a credit somewhere in the introduction [/small print]
