When I plan a game, I often come up with some ideas during the day, which I try to write down for further development. Even something like "what if the protagonist meets this character?" or "it would be cool if you could see this location" or anything else can be worth sharing with the game-making team. Sometimes, from a word or two, a really cool idea can take form, and then it can be expanded and adapted properly with a discussion.
So, in this thread you can post everything (game-related, please!) that comes to your mind, as simple notes, or even more complicated suggestions.

I go first:
-Since Archbishop Mandible is killed by Chaos he now is an undead trapped within one of the 2 sides of the Pattern. It would be cool if Rusty could meet him.
-And what about the Dragon? A second encounter with his killer coul put Rusty in a really entertaining challenge!

I would also love to see a ghostly Mandible, and possibly even Master Goodmold.
I would like to see a Conclave of the Guilds. Representatives from all Guilds coming together to discuss their common enemy.
I would also like to see exactly how the Weavers are going to rebuild the Pattern, and allow Souls to again cross between the sides.

Guys, I am new to the forum, not new to loom though. I am still reading the posts through this forum but I wonder: did you get a draft or some of the original ideas that were designed or written by Moriarty for the sequels of Loom that were not produced? Or are you trying to continue in that fashion but with your own story due to maybe copyright issues? I found it thrilling that you are continuing in the manner that was originally planned. I also wonder when did you start building the sequel!

Before the project began, I amassed as much information about the planned Sequels as I could.
I've been working on this project, and another (Threadbare: Loom Audio Drama) for maybe two years now. But only recently have things really taken off..
The information is as follows: OFFICIAL CANON:
FORGE: Rusty becomes the leader of an underground movement to overthrow Chaos. Together with Fleece Firmflanks of the Shepherds they seek new characters from the other Guilds. Bobbin appears every now and then as a ghostly swan dispensing mystical advice. Rusty Nailbender tries to regain control of the Forge, The story climaxes within the Forge in a terrible battle that nearly destroys the world. Chaos is ejected from the Forge. The gentle land of the Shepherds is conquered and nearly destroyed in a terrible battle. (The floating Forge ends up falling directly onto the Shepherds' pastures.)
FOLD: Fleece, teams up with Rusty to resist the evil forces that are camping in the Shepherds' territory. Fleece Firmflanks attempts to unite the shattered Guilds in a final, desperate effort to banish Chaos. Bobbin again offers occasional help and advice. At the climax of the game, Bobbin, Hetchel return to Earth along with the entire Guild of Weavers. All of the other Guilds join for a final challenge against Chaos. Working together for the first time, their combined magic banishes Chaos back into the Void. Rusty and Fleece get married, and Bobbin becomes the head of the Guild of Weavers. The Loom of the Weavers is remade, reality is healed, and peace is restored to the Guilds.

Do you remember that Loom's soundtrack contained music from "Swan Lake"? You should find ballet or opera with appropriate contents to Forge and use it as your soundtrack.

Thanks for your reply. We've spoken on email I believe and I hope to have a wonderful musical score based off real world music. One option we've spoken of is the use of Tchaikovskis; Vakula the Smith/Cherevichki.
Welcome to the board!

I'd also suggest, for inspiration: Handel : The Harmonious Blacksmith classic and blacksmith themed Nox Arcana. For example: Labyrinth of DreamsVictor Smolski: The Heretic (Der Ketzer) For example: The Inquisitor's Dream Nevermore Nox Arcana I'd really like something like this for scenes with Chaos. Pain of Salvation : Pluvius AestivusGustav Holst : Song of the Blacksmith classic and blacksmith themed. Unknown (to me) author : Fire DanceBtw, Vakula the Smith seems a great choice, even if I only know Rimsky-Korsakov's version of Gogol's Christmas Eve and never heard Tchaikovskij's.

Thank you for your music suggestions. I need to get a membership to my local library so I can get reference a lot of music. I can tell you like Nox Arcana. Perhaps we should send an email, have them write some custom stuff for us .
