Interest check for an Iron Lung oneshot!
As the title suggests, I'm interested to see if there's any, well, interest in an Irong Lung inspired game. I saw the movie a few months back and fell headfirst into hyperfixation and started mapping out a oneshot for 2-3 players that would create their own convicts that would be welded within a doomed ship. Unfortunately, life got busy and I stopped working on the idea. HOWEVER! After watching Project Hail Mary and getting a dose of that good ol' patron saint of one way trips, I kind of had the urge to work on it again, but acknowledge that I still have a LOT to build/write out. So before I invest all that time and energy, I wanted to see if any folks would actually be interested.
For those not familiar with the game/movie, below is a little exposition/lore dump for you:
*In this universe, humans have already explored a lot of space, colonizing many planets, with the first being Mars, holding a base called Eden. However, in 2349 A.D., an unexplainable cosmic event occurred. Known as The Quiet Rapture, where all planets and celestial bodies just quietly disappeared, with all life forms on it. The only things to survive were the people who inhabited man-made space stations, with a collective of less than 1,000 humans and two opposing groups remaining.*
*One group of space stations is known as the Consolation of Iron, the C.O.I, while the other is a space ship inhabited by Eden's population. An important note here; Eden is in possession of the very last tree in the universe.*
*However, due to a lack of resources from the planets disappearing, Eden and C.O.I fell into conflict as each group struggles to prosper in a rapidly dwindling world. This conflict culminates with Eden targeting one of C.O.I's larger bases called Filament Station, which resulted in a nine day all-out war, only ending when Eden sabotaged Filament's reactor, creating a critical breach, leaving Filament uninhabitable.*
*You were a member of Eden, caught as a prisoner of war, and you are now in the hands of the C.O.I.*
*You, as convicts, have been welded shut into a poor excuse of a submarine, forced to explore the ocean of a moon referred to as AT-5, taking pictures of Points of Interest (P.O.I's) for scientific research. However, this moon's oceans are made of blood.*
*After the Quiet Rapture, four moons with blood oceans suddenly appeared, and you are plunged into the depths of AT-5.*
*And if you take the pictures in spots C.O.I wants, they will grant you your freedom. That is the deal. If you get the job done, you'll be free.*
