4Game

So… Here's the skinny…
I've mentioned time over and again here on reddit that I have a brother who is a published author, and that I'm an at-home musician (I have, over the past decade, financed my ability to produce music from my own home–but by no means am I great or special; just skilled, somewhat). In short, my first experience with this game enthralled me in ways too difficult to describe for someone that nearly walked away from gaming, and I've already started a short story based on the nostalgia of the game as I first began playing it…

At this point, I'm gearing for a new project and goal… I have been building my world/seed to fulfill the background of lore that my short story originally relied on, but rather than follow up with that story I want to create a fresh new one with the work I've done thus far, plus more yet to be done.

The end goal is to have a series of Youtube videos that acts like a TV series, wherein the stories of the characters during the playthrough are captured in video and paralleled to character diary entries and background music; contributors will have to help develop the world before the playthrough and help to develop extraneous characters while, naturally, I would develop the "soundtrack" music for it. Before anyone asks, anyone who would contribute would definitely be credited; furthermore, I host a Discord server for my "band" wherein we can focus on the project with more direction and focus for the goal. I may be biting off more than can be chewed, but I'll let the community here decide that, as I've been looking for a new musical challenge for quite some time now… But in any case, I'm even willing to do this alone (so your loss to anyone thinking of pitching in but too scared to pull the trigger, lol).

For anyone actually serious about helping with the idea, you must understand the background of the lore for the short story I wrote already, even if the characters and playthrough changes. The backstory for this project is critical for its development. Here's a chronology of the story and world development so far, based on other posts I've made for other redditors here:

The original short story (mind you, read it as if Ragnar, from the show Vikings, is speaking):
