How Alicia Silverstone�s �Clueless� Became A Video Game (For Girls)
Posted by Tracey John on 8/15/08 at 9:16 am.
First there was �Dirty Dancing.� Then in that location was �Princess Bride.� The trend of female-favorite movies-turned-games continues with Legacy Interactive�s �OMG High School� series of �Mean Girls,� �Clueless� and �Pretty in Pink.�
Last month, Legacy president Ariella Lehrer told MTV Multiplayer that �Mean Girls� plays like �Puzzle Quest,� �Clueless� was elysian by �JoJo�s Fashion Show� and that players could choose an alternate ending for �Pretty In Pink.� With our curiosities aroused, I caught up with producer Don Marshall to give us more inside information on just how these games will work.
But first base, I wanted to recognize how Legacy�s movie games would be different than other games aimed at girls. �I am afraid that a lot of people wHO make games for girls emphasize the wrong piece of that sentence� for girls � and leave the games part out a short bit,� Marshall aforesaid. �I think what we�re trying to do is make solid games with strong, merriment and well-developed gameplay, instead than a smorgasboard or smaller, lesser-developed game elements� just making a game pink doesn�t make it for girls.�
So what else can we expect from �Mean Girls,� �Clueless� and �Pretty in Pink� � besides the color pink?
First, we get hold of a look at �Clueless� (with �Mean Girls� and �Pretty in Pink� advent later today)�
The �Clueless� game will feature story elements from the hit comedy but takes its gameplay cues from �JoJo�s Fashion Show.� With protagonist Cher, played by Alicia Silverstone, being a fashion guru and a matchmaker, Marshall thought compounding the deuce would work best. Thus, the player�s goal is to set up her various friends by medical dressing them in the style of the boyfriend they�re trying to attract.
�Not only will you be binding up people specifically for cliquey boyfriends,� Marshall added, �but there are going to be events for each of these different dates, so we�re trying to echo the movie in the framework of the shopping, fashion and dress up aspect.� The team at Legacy is as well working on recreating all of the fashions from the film for the game.
Though these films take in a cult following, I wondered how they were going to bridge the different audiences for all three. After all, �Pretty In Pink� came out in 1986, �Clueless� in 1995 and �Mean Girls� in 2004. �That is quite a spread,� Marshall aforementioned. �What I�m trying to do with these is to customize the gameplay to what I think the people who love the flick would be interested in, but smooth use gameplay that volition appeal to everyone. Ultimately, we wanted to come up with a solid style of gameplay that�s fun, fun above everything.�
�Mean Girls,� �Clueless� and �Pretty in Pink� will feature likenesses from the films and be downloadable for the PC at $19.99 each in December.
