Tv shows

I decided to look at tv shows that have stories as most mini’s don’t use much narrative.

The mighty boosh

·         Short quirky stories

·         Comical

·         Weird and interesting characters

·         Adult based

·         Random

·         2 main characters with recurring and single appearance characters

The Mighty Boosh is structured in certain way no matter what the episode. This would good to use in a similarly that every level of my game is structured for example it could end in the same way for start in the same way to allow a strong structure. The quirkiness of the mighty boosh is good for inspiration as a comedy mini would stand out strongly on the psn store and would easily incorporate simple controls.

      Noel Feildings luxary comedy

·         Showcase of art and comedy

·         Very short stories

·         Strange characters

·         Random

The Structure of this is show is simular to the boosh but rather than full episodes its more like sketches showing different characters and artwork. some of these random characters have good little narratives that could easily influence game narratives and even in some cases mechanics, also the art style, like the boosh, could create some interesting levels and character design.

The IT crowd

·         Episode long short stories

·         3 main with extra reoccurring characters

·         Comedy

·         Pc related

·         Work place

The It crowd uses a simular structure to the mighty boosh which would be interesting to use in a playstation mini were level ends were a new story in the same setting can begin almost like nothing has ever happened. Also adding an environment people can relate too in my game could be good idea.
