LO3: Explore the feasibility for further development

The main character will be developed over the course of a comic/webcomic series that will span across multiple volumes. As it will be a standalone, original series, it will be easier to create an animated TV show. Though, as the original idea is to have it be published as a webcomic, it would be helpful to work with a publisher or the webcomic site (like webtoon and tapas) to fund the printing of the comic. Popular webcomics like True Beauty and Covenant have been adapted into physical comics to give readers an alternative medium to access the comic and also be able to collect and physically own the series.

The animated TV show adaptation can also be done via the webcomic app. Popular webcomics like Solo Leveling and True Beauty have been adapted into animated series through the collaboration of the webcomic site and animation studios. My comic will follow a similar method of production for the series. This will most probably take place a while after the comics initial publication as the series should be established and successful across multiple formats (webcomic and physical comic- like solo levelling) for companies to invest into the project and attract the existing audience. Similar to the examples given, the animated show will be 2D animated with stylistic influence from existing shows like Invincible, Jujutsu Kaisen etc. Similar to these existing shows, the show will also have spin off feature films that will centre around a specific arc from the story, like Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and Demon Slayer: Mugen Train.

After these adaptations are successful, action and fighting based mobile games can be made, like Solo Leveling: ARISE, which follows the trajectory of the original comic and show where the player plays as the main characters, defeating villains. It will be a blend of fighting and storytelling, with clips from the animated series and comic to aid it. It will also have some custom made animated content that the players can interact with. It will have multiple levels that the players will have to complete, based on the events of each volume, season or arc of the show it is based on. The game will also have various characters and skins they can choose from along with some customisable items.

The sequence of the different media formats is:

1. Webcomic
2. Physical Comic
3. Animated TV show
4. Animated spin-off feature film
5. Mobile game
