Solar Echoes VideoGame?


I wish. I know, sorry to get some of you excited with the title--it's not happening yet--but it is a long-term goal of mine. Before it's even possible, I'd need to find some talented programmers, artists, etc. and also a lot of $ to make it all happen. Or, maybe I'll attract the interest of an already established videogame developer who would want to work with me to bring this goal to life. But I've got ideas—lots of them—about how to make this fun tabletop RPG into an awesome video game. Why would I want to see Solar Echoes become a video game? Because videogames are far more accessible than tabletop games. You can sit down and play it whenever you'd like, rather than have to organize your schedule and the schedules of your friends to drive out and meet somewhere for a large chunk of time to play. Dedicated tabletop gamers do make regular time to play, but that leaves out a ton of us that are unable to because of jobs, family commitments, locations, etc. Plus, most of the younger generation are not even familiar with the concept of sitting down to play a tabletop game, and I keep getting asked by young kids I meet if Solar Echoes is a video game they can download. Somehow, I'd like to make that happen!
