I'd rather just have a sequel actually, but a novel which will bridge the games or perhaps some kind of animation/movie that will have everything in it would be just as awesome. :D

All three? =^.^=

Like I can suddenly afford to buy $30 games. ._. (You should've seen the amount of struggling it took to convince my parents to let me pay $1 for the Humble Bundle. >_<)

Ahh yesss.... I remember that aquarian Alec picture...
Can't be bothered finding it now though.  ::)

Until then you can make do with mine.  ;D

@Succubus, Jenna Sharpe is the voice actress for Naija. It makes sense to have her taken out of the poll seeing as how she's a voice actress as opposed to one who stars in movies.

An animated series, on the other hand, would allow Jenna to continue her voice acting, and I think that is the most likely to happen out of all the other options. Now all we need is a dedicated animator...

Someone changed the poll choices! D:

I agree with your point though.

I'm hoping some of the music makes it into the movie if they make one. :3

It's not like they would have a choice on the matter. Using any other music would just embarrass the composer when they hear what Alec's got.  8)  :P

Maybe they could use a mix of music from the game and some music "inspired" by the music in the game to allow even the people who have played the game before (assuming that we're not the only ones watching the movie ._.) to hear fresh music? :3

Watch them take that idea and completely rewrite even the verse-thingy. >_>

I was thinking more of a fan-made thing, the idea is that someone who likes to animate and has a lot of free time also likes Aquaria. If it takes off there are more than enough OST tracks that can be used, and knowing Alec he might actually compose one or two especially for the series. Although I'm sure he wouldn't be adverse to someone else making a track.

It's all hypothetical though, finding someone who is skilled at something and yet has free time is extremely improbable.  ::)

I'd do it, but I neither have the free time nor the skill, or the money to fund it. xD I can... provide moral support though! :D

I'd do it too, if I was an animator.  But for now you guys can enjoy the random pixel art I post every now and then.  ^-^

Well you can always still make an animation with this game engine, in a way.

A movie mod? Pick me! Pick me! :D

I have to finish the game first though. >_>

And then figure out how mods work. >_< I love making maps/mods though, it's always so much fun!

Heh heh, mods are fun to play around with. :)
Ganbatte, Succubus-sama. :D (Or should it be 'Jia you, Succubus taitai'? Darn, learning Chinese makes things so difficult >.<;)

A movie mod or an animation could be really cool. But alas, an animator I am not.. :(

It's okay. I'm neither an animator, movie maker, or modder. ^.^

And yet I try...

I'm also not really that much of a gamer, which means I get frustrated in Aquaria a lot. xD

Well, if you look at the movie Avatar, then you could see that technically Jenna Sharpe could star as Naija without needing to actually appear.  And besides, I'm confident that they could create a magnificent movie out of this game, but it would take hundreds of millions of dollars like Avatar.

What makes me think of this are the cover art for the soundtrack, and this wallpaper: http://www.derekyu.com/aquaria/downloads/aquaria04-1280x1024.jpg

I haven't finished the game, so I obviously can't say for certain about everything, but isn't Aquaria partly told in flashbacks?  And isn't it the story of something from long ago?  The movie could basically embody these flashbacks and fill in any gaps to tell a prequel story, allowing more than just Naija to exist as a character.

I personally would not want it made like Avatar, because the director ditched the story for special effects.
