Hey an idea occurred to me today: what if they went the way of the Adam West Batman and threw the tone of the source material out the window in favor of a comedy? Here's a theoretical cast:
Pravin Lal: Deep Roy with a goatee (note how the game only shows him from the neck up.)
Miriam Godwinson: Rita Rudner
Shen-Ji Yang: Steve Park
Corazon Santiago: America Ferrara
Nwabiduke Morgan: Chris Rock
Diedre Skye: Craig Ferguson in drag.
Prokhor Zakharov: Yarkov Smirnoff (In Neo-Soviet Russia, Fruit tastes you!)
On a less pretend note, here's an idea for an opening: We see a young Miriam in the present day eating breakfast with her family. She tells them about a dream where basically, God tells her the earth will be destroyed, God will kick them out of the Garden of Eden one more time, and the nations will come together and send a ship to the new earth. But the ship will split into six nations of Babylon and one nation of the righteous. God also tells her that she will lead the nation of the righteous to victory over the others, until he personally comes to rule the new earth. Her father declares here a prophetess, and after some more dialogue, we cut to disaster aboard the Unity.
SMAC? A comedy? Iww. Plus I don't understand why the heck would God kick them out of Eden. They ARE going to Eden.
