View Full Version : Cowboy Bebop: The Game
Ever since I saw The Real Folk Blues (both parts) late this July during the Cowboy Bebop marathon (the first episodes I ever saw, but they still never get old!), I've been saying to myself "Wow, that show would make an awesome action game, or RPG, or nearly [I]any kind of game..."
I'm a Mac user, but the programming language I will be using (REALbasic) to create this can compile in both Mac and Windows format, so unless you're using a form of Linux or any other system, you'll be able to check it out. ;)
I could never even come close to pulling off this huge project without the help of other fans!
If you think you are talented with art fanfic writing, or even voice acting, please respond in this thread!
And yes, some of you may have noticed I have posted this same message at the Jazz Messengers forum as well. If this thread is considered spamming, then by all means delete it, and I'll find other methods to get people to help out. :p
If you'd like to help out, respond to this thread, and send me an instant message if you like! If I'm not online with superloud4, chances are I'm signed on with imnotst3ve, so try both if you want to contact me. ;)

Just to let you know, "Cowboy Bebop" has already been made into a game. Yes, it has. Can't remember if it was for the PSX or some other related platform, but I remember seeing the game where you pilot Spike's ship in the first person with a screen showing Faye giving you directions or something.
Remember, in Japan, if the anime was successful, it's been made into a game at least once. There was even a "Serial Experiments Lain" game and guess what? "Inu-Yasha" will soon be made into a fighting game for the PSX.
In regards to helping you make the game, sorry. That ain't my area of expertise. :D

the Bebop game sucks.
And Arxane is correct, if its popular it gets a game.. mostly fighting games..
I really need to get the X game for PSX..

If you're going all out on this game, you'll need 5 engines: Flight Sim, Shooter, Fighting, Action (a la Police Quest or Blade Runner), and, of course, a Character Engine. Obviously, with CB being a multi-faceted series, it needs a multi-faceted game.

Cool, is there a Kenshin game?? Is the Inu Yasha fighter for the PS or the PS2?
Yes, I am well aware that I will be needing to code multiple engines to make this game a reality.
And for anyone who wants to help out, no programming knowledge is required! I know a lot of programmers, and have already asked a few of them if they want to help out.

Well, duh.

There's an article on the game at Gamers.com. They say it's average.
Cool, is there a Kenshin game??
Yes. I haven't seen it, but there is one. There has to be. It probably sucks, but I'd bet almost anything saying there is one. It's Japan, so there is one. They make games about driving buses, for crying out loud.
Is the Inu Yasha fighter for the PS or the PS2?
PS, PSOne, PSX. Here's a link for some screenshots:

And for anyone who wants to help out, no programming knowledge is required!
So what exactly are you asking for? Help designing the overall structure and pacing and things like that?
I need people to help out in any of the following areas:
Storyline Writing
Voice Acting
Art
For the music, it'll use songs from the original series, so unless you've got something really good in that area, I probably won't need it.

The Kenshin game is an embarrassement to everything.Ever played White Man Can't Jump for the Jaguar?Imagine that but a fighting game.
Sad thing is I'm probably the only guy who has an Atari Jaguar.

No, I have one.....somewhere. Of course, I have every console since PONG, so you shouldn't be suprised.
What's a true embarassment? Ranma, the PSX fighting game. Yes, let me play Ranma, a hexagon with a pigtail...... :o

I played the Ranma 1/2 fighting game for SNES. It was pretty fun. But then again, I was 10 or so at the time so I'm not sure if I'd still find it fun now.
Kinda funny actually. Me and my best friend were really into that game. So a month later (after we played it) he told me about a cartoon about it.
"There's a cartoon based on the video game?" I said excitedly. ( :rolleyes: :D )
"Yeah! I rented it from Blockbuster," he said, "Wanna come to my house and watch it?"
"Sure!" I said.
So we went to his house, turned on the TV, pushed the tape in the VCR and pressed "Play". Our eager little minds couldn't wait to see this new cartoon "based off" the cool video game we played.
The show came on and we saw......boobies.
And that's as far as I'll go into that tale.

Is there a website that sells the Bebop game?

I'd be interested in helping out with voice acting.
Maybe storyline writing, too.

Nah, it's good. I give it my seal of approval. Usually talk about these kinds of projects don't piss me off unless the person goes overboard. And you can always send me a PM if you're ever unsure whether something'll get deleted or not.

Heh heh. Yeah, I sure as heck wouldn't dare to make new music for Cowboy Bebop.
Good luck, anyway!
Cowboy Bebop needs to be like Syphon Filter
and alot of flying simulations, especially blowing
**** up. :cool:

I consider myself quite avid at writting plots.
Mainly for RPGs. I could help out if you'd like.
Where talking: At most, 3 charcter story line with action scenes involving space combat and shooting, plus fighting?
Quite a basic plot. Something like: 'Cowboy Bebop: The Quest for More Money"
then involve some terrorist-organization. A Planet in danger, but it's really about the money.
Would like my help?
