Adventure...
Maybe adaptation of a forest of thousand demons.( waiting for someone to adapt this for a big screen)
On Ps4/Xbox/PC
The book is rich culturally.

I had never heard of that book till now. I just googled it. Apparently it's very rich in material, ideal for a "God of War" type game.

@nprime try reading the original version written in Yoruba by D.O. Fagunwa. Here is a list of his works.

Ogboju Ode ninu Igbo Irunmale (The Forest of A Thousand Demons)
Igbo Olodumare (The Forest of God, 1949),
Ireke Onibudo (1949),
Irinkerindo Ninu Igbo Elegbeje (Expedition to the Mount of Thought, 1954),
Adiitu Olodumare.

Growing up, i always wondered what it will be like as an animated movie or series.

First Idea
- First Person Shooter
- A company of Nigerian soldiers on peacekeeping mission. It can evolve into a series set in different countries with a different company. It should have subthemes treating issues lyk tribalism & corruption.
- Land battles mostly, with some air & sea action.
- The characters should be from different tribes.


Second Idea
- Action-Adventure, RPG
- In a fictional setting of pre-colonial Nigeria, a great evil threatens a country. (The evil could be a dark lord or mage, a group or a dark force). The country rises against it aided by the gods.
- Different classes of characters (Inland warriors, Riverine forest archers, Mountain giants, warlocks). Team-assisted combat. Story-affecting decisions.
- The story must contain elements of Nigerian culture.

Third Idea
- Open World Adventure
- A foray into the crime world of Nigeria. From tertiary cults to powerful syndicates.
- Two or more protagonists. Story-affecting decisions.
- Set in Nigeria

I'm a competitive guy, so competitive multiplayer games would be to my liking. But since Nigerians don't develop quality racing/fighting/FPS games, I will have to settle for the next best thing: https://www.facebook.com/godbattles

Full Disclosure: I developed that grin
