The Golden Compass

[Tomi]

I am planning on making a game based on this book that I just finished reading for the 4th time.  Its called "The Golden Compass" and has a storyline that I think I could make into a entertaining RPG.
 
A brief summary of the storyline can be found at http://www.hisdarkmaterials.org/article458.html

What do you think?  I would like people's opinions on this idea of turning a book into a game before I start.

Oh man, I loved that book, even after I read it for the 5th time

That'd be awesome to make a game based on "the Golden Compass"

It was a pretty good book. Good luck.

So you think I should make it?  Because I havent started yet, I just had the idea...

amber spyglass was better...

[barnsalot]

I've never read the book, but it sounds pretty workable. Good luck with it!

[Ace of Spades]

I haven't read it, but it seems quite interesting. I'm not one who likes to read either, so a game would be cool. Good luck!

it had such a good story line.
u should make a game, and we'll
see how that will turn out.

First resourse!  A character set of the main character, Lyra!

(Yes, its a girl)

[Roach Lir]

The book rocks, its called "Northern Lights" in Britain... good luck with the game! The idea is a good one.

[GhostClown]

Never heard of the book, but good luck with the game.

I've read that too, it's a good series.

amber spyglass was better...

So was The Subtle Knife, out of all three, the Golden Compass is probably the "least good" (not worst, because it was still a great book)

I started a game about it after I read the books, but I didn't get much farther than that.

agreed. i loved the final scenes of amber spyglass, it was just amazing.

I have read the Subtle Knife, however, I have not yet read the Amber Spyglass.  The reason I decided to make a game based on the Golden Compass is because it starts out the series, and if I started on one of the other books, the people wouldnt have the backround they would need to completely understand the storyline.  Also, I personally found the Golden Compass better than the Subtle Knife.

I started working on Lyra's Battle Character Set.  How's it look?
