Adventure Time Heroes - Opening Dialogue

 Adventure Time Heroes: Opening Sequence 


One of my favorite parts of working on brands is being able to study them, and in that research determine the loophole to make what you want to do within the video game world work using this IP from another medium (in this case the Cartoon Series). 

Studying the brand I was able to pinpoint an episode that I could use. 

Season 5 | Episode 5: All The Little People

Episode Synopsis

Finn mysteriously receives (from Magic Man) a bag full of miniature versions of his friends and enemies and experiments with their lives.

From that episode, I was able to find the loophole to design the world lore in which the mobile game Adventure Time - Heroes, a turn-based RPG game where any character (that wasn't undead or The Lich) could be on the player's team to battle evil and save the Little People's Ooo could take place. 

The next step was writing an opening sequence that would introduce the player to the real land of Ooo, and then bring them into the Little People's Ooo, and then get that approved by Cartoon Network and the IP holders. 

Here is the finalized dialogue and animation sequence I wrote and was approved by Cartoon Network and the IP holders. 

CHARACTERDIALOGUE 
 Finn and Jake are leaving a cave, carrying loot in the Grass Lands. 
JAKEBro, you seem down. What’s troubling you?
FINNI've been thinking a lot about the Little People, lately.
JAKEThose living toy versions of us?
FINNThey weren't just versions of us, it seemed like there were versions of everyone in Ooo. But yeah, them.
MAGIC MANShhh!
JAKEWhat about them?
FINNI feel like I should atone for experimenting with their lives the way I did.
JAKEJust visit their Ooo, and do what ya gotta do.
FINNAlgebraic! I will. 
 The screen shakes and Cloud Finn enters the Little People Ooo
CLOUD FINNLittle People of Ooo, I have decided it’s time you started making your own choices. Do you, Little People. Do you! 
 Back in regular Ooo. Finn and Jake Talk and then do a Tutorial. 
JAKEFeeling better? 
FINNMuch. 
JAKEGood! Now, let’s go give a beating to those Battle Cubes over there!
 After the tutorial. 
FINNIt’s been a while. I better check on the Little People. 
 The screen starts vibrating again.  Back in Little People Ooo, but the Lich is there. 
CLOUD FINNHoly stuff! Is that The Lich? I forgot about him. Oh no! He’s raising an undead army!
CLOUD FINNLittle People. I command you to defend your Ooo against The Lich and his army at all costs!
 Cut to GamePlay where the Player chooses their main character. 
CLOUD FINNSelect the character who will lead your team.
CLOUD FINNNow select three characters who will join your team. 


As you can see from the finished version in the video, a few of the lines changed as did the sequence of events, this is from QA testing, feedback, soft launch data, etc...
