I am taking all my favorite media and running it all through a centrifuge

To separate out what exactly I like about them

And then running all that through a blender

And what’s coming out the other side is a kinda dark sci fi setting in which earth has been conquered by an interstellar alien empire and is being strip mined for all possibly useful resources

Earth is functionally dead. The human diaspora across the stars is ongoing. A band of desperate revolutionaries steal a voidship to prevent this from happening to any further planets

As they struggle to figure out how to stop an army of smug alien overlords with impossible powers

A potential future Drive Break game

Vibes of like

Sanderson’s Cosmere, Noein, Half life 2, Remnant From The Ashes, with just a dash of Treasure Planet and The Matrix

I’ll have a more cohesive pitch later but this is where my mind is right now

it sounds baller

you should probably read shards of earth

what's that

tchaikovsky's space opera trilogy

same author as children of time

more pew pew space guns

huh

space opera isn't quite what this is

but I do love me a good space opera
