Sims 2 Battle Royale location?

[strange_tomato]

I've been thinking again about the possibility of a Battle Royale type story using the teen characters from Sims 2, and wondering where to set it. An abandoned Twikii Island, perhaps? The mean streets of Sims City? If anyone here has read the book or manga or seen the movie, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Or even if you haven't, what

That'd be an interesting location for a scene to take place, for sure, and several of the neighborhoods would probably have them. Belladonna Cove has an industrial area, so it could work for that reason.

Hey! Your considering this again! (Ok, maybe that sounded a bit too eager)

I don't think I have much to add that hasn't all ready been said, especially since I haven't seen the book, manga, or movie, and in fact wasn't familiar with it until you introduced it to me. But an Island makes the most sense to me, from what little I do know.

Going off topic for a second, the way yours and leskuh's Johnny/Ripp keep alternating (at least on my computer) is almost as hypnotic as the cult of frances icon.

I hope I'm not getting your hopes up too much. I really do hope to do this eventually, but I feel a little mentally fatigued when I think about the amount of setup required. Well, it could involve a huge amount of setup with weapons and effects and such, but I could also scale it down and do it in a more stylized way. I'm thinking of going with black and white for the images, and that might make it easier to create the right mood and portray the violence without too many props.

An island would make the boundaries of the playing area very easy to define, but there could easily be an electronic fence to keep them together in one area, which would be set off by their collars (something from the original story). I think it could work either way.

That's funny. They don't quite sync up, do they? It's a fun icon.

I was always a big fan of these types of games in the Woods- like it's set in the first Hunger Games book.

This might be another reason to use Belladonna Cove. I think it has (or could easily be given) a wooded area, and also parks, industrial areas, etc. The more I think about it, the more it seems like it would work.

Going with something you mentioned before, the industrial part of Belladonna cove might be cool. It might give it a kind of urban dystopic feel if that makes any sense. :P

[strange_tomato]

That does makes sense, and Belladonna Cove offers other interesting landscapes, too. It have the added benefit of having a higher ground on the hilltop and a valley, which could be beneficial strategically.

The more I think about it, the more I lean towards Belladonna Cove.

:D

I loved the novel Battle Royale. Personally I think I'd like to see your rendition in Takemizu Village or Twikkii Island. Maybe more Takemizu Village, really. :D

It would remind me of Lord of the Flies if it were on Twikkii Island. XD
