Slartboz: One Big Ball of Tasty Homage (Spiced & Shaped to Taste)

Slartboz is like one big ball of "homage" to all the things I love.

Whether from games or films, shows or books, music or even toys. And I hope fans will be able to tell when they play the game themselves. I bet they will.

Gremlins?

CHECK

X-COM?

CHECK

Wes Craven's 80's film Deadly Friend?

CHECK

Stranger Things?

CHECK. wait til you see what Fern can do. heck, Pell is basically Hawkins crossed with...

Back to the Future?

CHECK

John Carpenter's The Thing?

CHECK

Fallout and Wasteland?

CHECK. ("And my proton axe!")

Dwarf Fortress

CHECK. well, this is the most ambitious. if I can deliver something even half as rich and complex as The Big Lovable Dorf Undermountain Simulator it would be a big success from a design standpoint

GI Joe?

CHECK

Lemonade Stand?

CHECK. (kids, dont ask. and get off my lawn)

Road War 2000?

CHECK

The X-Men (at their very best)

CHECK. did I mention Fern is a mutant? well, she's otherwise a very normal and ordinary teen girl. with A Thing for Abro, for some reason (a mystery to everyone, esp Abro himself). and for Hot Shoes. but she also has... Powers. and they're growing. frankly they might be growing out of control...

The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

CHECK. At least I might have.planted the seeds of... antici... pa-shun?

The Abominable Doctor Phibes?

CHECK

Young Frankenstein?

CHECK

Rambo 7: More Blood Later

NOT CHECK! but I had you for a minute, right?

though there is a whole "gun game" subsystem that is quite bang-bang, faster pussycat, bang-bang and mega-zod faster-lish
