Briefly.

Did you know that I harbour a secret ambition to make the world's first interactive musical? In other words, a game that's also a musical. A real game, and a real musical. Where you participate. Not just where the other characters sing, but where singing -- picking the right words, the right timing, the right beats -- is an integral part of the game. And not in the goofy, silly, cartoony way of something like King's Quest. No, a serious, big-budget, beautifully orchestrated and visualised real-time interactive musical game. But with the funny turned on. Because, you know, po-faced musicals is a hard thing to pull off.

I'll probably never get to do it. It'd be a tough sell to the audience, but a much tougher sell to the investors. "They sing!" "No guns?" "There will be violins..." "You're fired!" Etc. But if I ever get enormously rich, after I've built a luxury resort on the dark side of the moon, I'll do it. I'll make my very own super-great musical game.

How would it work? Trust me when I say that it would, and very well at that, using an adventure-game and RPG framework. Of course, you'll have to have an appreciation of musicals to even get remotely excited about the idea, but come on: Moulin Rouge, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors, West Side Story, Grease, Once More With Feeling...man, how can you not love the idea?

Sigh. Dreams: what life's made of. And kittens, too.  ¶ 00:12
