@Alan - Aims for idea

I have narrowed down between two books and to try and help, I decided to list what each book would give as a positive and negative for the project:

Aims




Target Audience 12+ – Young Teenagers - Adult



Books



Artemis Fowl


Good Points


• Characters can easily be refined and simplified

• Strong Magical genre and would work well as a game

• Good connection between a fantasy and human world

• Has a lot of weapons, armour, etc to include as progression for a character to develop

• The Hidden world of Haven could be interesting to design – taking something real such as a police station and then adapt to fantasy



Bad Points


• Range of characters might be limited

• A lot of main characters to choose from





The Demon Thief


Good Points



• Good range of characters for either side

• Environments could vary especially when visualising the demon realm as changes throughout the book

• Characters could be refined and simplified

• Spells/ skills could develop

• Narrative is strong to allow more imaginative alterations

• Would work as a RPG due to it’s diversity





Bad Points


• A lot of main characters

• Works as Horror Genre as well as fantasy so audience might be limited by this

 
 
 
I am still not sure about whetther a character or environment but wondered if I could produce a character with environment if there was enough time or which one to go for
 
but if I am honest I can see Artemis Fowl in a refined style compared to other book
 
But The Demon Thief has more diversity to work with
 
I will now think about this further to make a clear decision of which would best suit my idea and needs
