2. Idea Mindmap
Idea 1 –Minecraft
This story will be presented in the video game
Minecraft. This is a world where everything, from Idea 2 – Team Fortress 2
the grass under your feet to the clouds above, is
made of blocks. The player is a character known as
Steve, who fights to survive in this unfamiliar
world, inhabited only by strange creatures.
3. Idea 1 - Minecraft
• The story will follow a group of characters known only as ‘miners’ or ‘explorers.’ They
will each have names, but whether they choose to use them is still to be decided.
• Said characters will be players from the Minecraft server that I personally run. The
server has its own story which will be the basis for my comic, and each player character
will make an appearance.
• The world it is set in will be vast and seemingly empty, save for a few animals here and
there. The characters cannot let their guard down, however, for in reality, it is inhabited
by a variety of strange, hostile creatures that threaten them whenever they dare to think
they are safe. Survival is something to be fought for in this unfamiliar environment.
• As I am not a keen drawer, the comic will not be drawn on paper. Instead, it will be
produced with computer software. I have research several programs that I may use to
create the comic.
5. The Characters
• The characters originate from the players on my self-run Minecraft server. There are
around 6-8 regular players that will be featured as core characters. Other players that
are not regular visitors to the server will be represented as supporting characters that
make an occasional appearance. Each and every character will contribute to the story in
some way; some, more than others.
• They may not go by their real names. Instead, they may choose to use their job title or
rank as a name, i.e. a person who stands guard at night is known as simply ‘the Lookout.’
6. Characters, Pt. 2
Character Gallery
The characters in this gallery are shown wearing what is known as a ‘skin’ – a texture that
is placed on the player character. These are fully customisable and can be freely edited
and swapped with the use of various sites. The skins shown here are not permanent and
will be changed at various points in the story. I will create my own customised skins using
an aforementioned editor to represent my characters.
