Suske en Wiske: De krachtige krans - Spike and Suzy: The Circle of Power

[RPG LORD]

English: During being on holiday, I got the idea to make a game out of a comic book in both Dutch and English. It is Suske en Wiske 218 - De krachtige krans (The Circle of Power), and the story would start at Aunt Sidonia trying to find a place for destination of holiday. It would use the original names, and I would even try to graphic it by myself. In any case, I WOULD think of it using its own soundtrack, as anybody could expect.
The date of the comic is 1988, and was originally drawn by Paul Geerts, and the scenario was done by the same person.

Characters:

Main Characters:

Suske (Spike): The last living relative of the commander of the Antverpia  who founded the state Amoras on an island, Franciscus Antigoon.
Is very kind and good-willed.

Wiske (Suzy): Louise has been on the series ever since the first adventure. She always tries to get her own will, but is also very nice, as long as nobody tries to steal her puppet Schanulleke (Sawdust)

Sidonia:
As well as Louise, she has always been in the series, no matter what.

Lambik (Ambrose?): He can be arrogant and dumb, but when complimented he can be a nice person. In any case he is daring.

Jerom/Jerôme (Jethro?): A muscleman. He has been there ever since the adventure of the Mad Musketeers, but he is very kindhearted, and does not need encouraging for it.

Secondary characters:
Lord and Lady Ferryold (Creakbone is an invalid translation.): This couple of old people is pure evil, despite their appearance. They are very manipulative, and dispose of Lambik by the time the Circle of Power is complete.

Lord Skin-Flint (Shutpurse is an invalid translation): An evil Lord, whose gift to control people has gone to his painting...

James: The butler of the couple Ferryold, he has a colourless existance, save for the birds he takes care of. He is very emotional despite his appearance and acting.

The Long Man of Wilmington: This sand giant is an enchanted piece of country, and is the servant of the possessed Lambik. He stands in the way of the party various times, and can only be eliminated with water.

Sister Seven: The last of the Seven Sisters still alive, she keeps the light that never dampens, before she is given a lighthouse. She is old.

Barbery: A barber who mysteriously disappeared..

Sorce: A French professor who mysteriously disappeared...

Hanimal: A famous zoologist who mysteriously disappeared.

Madame Swiss: A Swiss botanist, who mysteriously disappeared...

The story starts off with Aunt Sidonia who had been trying to find a destination for holiday all week. Not long left Suske and Wiske come in from having done what they had to do. Not long after that, Lambik and Jerome kick in too, and so a noisy conversation occurs about the destination. Finally, a headwrapped Lambik throws a dart at the world map, pointing at Sussex in England. And so they go, except for leaving Lambik behind to fix the house a bit. When fixing the book cases, he stumbles from his ladder and finds a book about Sussex...After a call, he hurries to the area, but needs to get the tire of his car fixed, and so drives into an area that a man said was cursed...and gets swallowed by a pink cloud.

I have been thinking of this, and would translate it into 2 languages, if people would approve of this idea.

EDIT: A combination of both the Dutch and English version is essential for a good flow-together. I'll start working for this alright.

Here is a description of the main characters in Dutch:

Any comments would be appreciated.

Honestly....I dont like the idea very much.  But if you do make it...please  dont use the names Bob and Bobbette.  lol  Anyways..GL if you do it.

[RPG LORD]

Well I might use the names where Suske and Wiske come from, Franciscus/Francis and Louise. That appeals more to me than the French Bob and Bobette. The Wreath of Power also appeals to me more than the UK Circle of Power though.
It would be the original Dutch/Flemish version and my own English translation if I were to bring it in development.

The idea, though original, is somewhat..... corny?
Yes, I guess that's a descriptive enough word.

Also, a pink cloud in a swamp, make it purple or something.

En... sounds more like a book or story then a game. I know you said "like a comic book" so perhaps you should make it an athuntic comic instead of a game.

[RPG LORD]

Athuntic? What does that mean??

[Meiscool-2]

Ummm, I suck at spelling.

I think I ment althentic, but that could be spelled wrong too.

[RPG LORD]

Authentic?

[Meiscool-2]

There we go. I new I had the letters a 'bit' jumbled.

[Leon_1990]

Authentic? Meiscool, that word doesnt fit the situation, original would be the right word here.

[RPG LORD]

What does one have against a game? Is it not worthy to try?

[Meiscool-2]

Ummmm, leon, authentic means the exact same thing as original.

I'm not saying it's bad or good, it just sounds more like something you would read or watch then something you would play.

nope, Authentic means real

[Meiscool-2]

Authentic also means to be of genuine origin.

To be real is one of its many definitions, but here I was using it to mean original.

I just did a google of that comic...

Was it done by the same guy who does Tintin? Cause if so, this has kindled my interest a little.
