Experiment 8: Video Game Idea

Looney Kingdom
There is a game called Kingdom Hearts, which incorporates Disney characters with characters from the game Final Fantasy. I propose there be a game which incorporates Warner Brothers characters with Japanese characters. It will be called Looney Kingdom! It will be a single player, third person viewpoint playtype. The interesting aspect of Kingdom Hearts is that it takes the magic of Disney films and focuses that magic through a psychoanalytic drama, filled with cues relating to character’s memories, times gone by, and high nostalgia. This creates a landscape filled with complicated emotions, and one with very high highs and low lows. In Looney Kingdom, this emotional landscape will be built on humor. Laughter will be a major bonding motivator, not magic and wonder like from Disney. It will incorporate all new characters. Letzo will be the main character, a tall, slender sixteen-year-old teenager. He will travel to many different Warner Brothers worlds, encountering characters such as Marvin the Martian, Wile E Coyote, Roadrunner, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and of course, Bugs Bunny. The characters will help Letzo through a maze of obstacles, inevitably helping him find the Looney Kingdom, where Letzo’s true sense of humor resides. Humor has personification in Looney Kingdom, meaning that it takes quasi-anthropomorphic form. Characters representing different types of humor are present in the game: there is Wit, Slapstick, Punny, Sarcasm etc. These characters are benign in temperament, but mostly antagonistic in the game, being controlled by the humors from the shadows: Racist, Sexual, and Cynical. Letzo seeks to find Looney Kingdom so he can find his true sense of humor. With the help of the Warner Brothers cast, Letzo sets out on his journey.
