i had an idea for a series and I want y’alls’ opinion on it
this stems from a game I had plans to make and I might still make eventually but that’s besides the point
so basically it begins on an alternate universe planet earth, with advanced af humans but they still have not surpassed war at that point so global nuclear war happens and most of the population is dead
(the protagonist is unnamed as of yet but she is female) the protagonist has a robot companion to guide her through this, along with a lot of other technologies augmented into her
if this sounds too much like fallout it gets interesting here
in this multiverse (you’ll understand why I said that soon) time travel is possible, but there is a catch, if you time travel back to before time travel was invented, to prevent paradoxes from happening, instead of being transported back in time in your universe, you are transported to another universe where the time you chose is the present and not the past, so your choices affect that universe and not the one you came from, again, to avoid paradoxes.
with that being said, she time travels back to medieval times, her objective here is to guide the people of this universe to a similar state as before she came here, but that state having been reached by peace and not war.
as you can imagine, I would have a lot of creative freedom here because this is a sci-fi series not anchored to realism.
would like some opinions expressed here.

oh god he liked it
preparing for 18 paragraph post
I really like the idea here. It takes a typical time travel scenario and adds a twist to it by requiring the protagonist to solve multiple complicated issues to fix the future instead of stopping/altering a key event. It certainly holds potential for a story based series. The setting by itself has potential for humor as the protagonist tries to get used to the severely underdeveloped technology of the medieval era. However, I have some concerns as well.
1. The protagonist and robotic companion would require incredibly likable/interesting personalities. Considering how the story will center around the two, work should be specifically focused on making their personalities interesting. If there’s gonna be a ton of time centered around them, they should be fun and interesting to watch as they interact with the plot.
2. An antagonist would increase the series’s dramatic aspect. While there already is a conflict with the protagonist trying to change time, there isn’t a particular menace that the protagonist is trying to avoid/stop, just a future to prevent. Perhaps an antagonist from the same future as the protagonist wishes to prevent her from changing the past because the antagonist drastically benefits from the post-nuclear world. I’d think that any sort of antagonist from the medieval times would be fairly underpowered, as the protagonist has all sorts of futuristic gadgets and weaponry to fight with. Unless, of course, magic is involved in some way, but this seems to be more of a sci-fi oriented series than it is fantasy in general.
All in all, I like it! Just put some more work in developing it and I’m sure it will turn out good!
ngl I was kinda waiting for the
when I clicked the notification
but yeah I do plan on an antagonist
what way could they benefit from a few desperate people on a planet overrun with radiation and fallout though?
Perhaps it’s someone who fully committed to robotic augmentation to the point of where they’re pretty much more machine than human, and the antagonist has near total control of what’s left of the earth because of it. That could mean an entire group of augmented baddies at his disposal, which could provide some content for fight scenes with the protagonist as more come to try to stop her. Instead of the antagonist just spewing evil, maybe there can be conflicting viewpoints, as the protagonist wants to change the past so it never happens and the antagonist believes the human race can adapt and maybe goes survival of the fittest or something.
interesting
i like the survival of the fittest thing
a more machine than human dude would be fun to design
real honor when naruto likes your post

I like it, very interesting use of time travel.
I’m guessing they’ll be using it to try and prevent the war from happening in the first place. This is some Live, Die, Repeat kind of s**t right here (ps: totally watch that movie if you haven’t, it’ll give you some good ass ideas)
Yeah, i’ll look forward to this.
I’m also interested by what you could pull off with a lack of antagonist. Hey, if you wanna be really creative; using camera angles and certain atmosphere, you could play out the radiation as if it were a villain as it slowly seeps into a room. We all know it isn’t sentient but when a room begins to fill with radioactive isotopes, it can really highten tension.
Good look Dez’
ngl me seeing this in my notifications was one of the most worrying things I’ve ever seen on SN
but I might actually add an antagonist, toxic suggested a survival of the fittest advocate dude on the nuked af earth
so we’ll see

Eh, that’s already been done, like the guys in Fallout 3 who set off the nuke in Nuketown, or basically any raider style bad guy in a post-apocalyptic setting.
I mean sure, you can if you want, it’s just we don’t get many unique perspectives for Post-Apocalyptic stuff and it looks like that’s the angle you’re wanting.
Try to pull off that natural disaster movie feel of making an inanimate thing almost have a personality.
hmmst
i like that
gonna base it off of the best disaster movie ever
6-headed shark attack
it is as glorious as it sounds
(no it’s not it’s actually horrible please do not watch it)
also not to be confused with Nuketown the call of duty map that’s been remastered 400 million times

Lol, yeah.
Honestly, i’d say the 2nd version was best from ol’ BOII
we agree on many things
btw any rough ideas for series names?
i had one when the idea was in the preliminary stages (back when it was just a game idea) but it was what we gentlemen refer to as gay so I scrapped it

Warped
Fission
Fractured Glass
i like fission
I like this idea. Goes deep and isn’t simplistic. It’s what SN needs.

Finally a series that someone wouldn’t chicken out of
