You ...I'm super late in this post/comment game. You won't see this until after BFA unfortunately.... All I have to say is the name "Spark Gap" is a little hard on the tongue. Not catchy enough to grab my interest as a casual gamer is what I mean to say. I think it is because the end of the first word "Spark" and the the start of the 2nd word "Gap" are 2 hard consonants, so its like an extra effort for me to say the entire phrase. As opposed to [for example] "Electro Gap". It's not the best name, but It just takes less effort to say. Which is why sometimes the one word titles are a bit easier, like "Brilliance" or "Current." Just something to think about.<br /><br />.... I really should post so you guys can tear me up lol.

This way, you can keep the future idea, but dont have to worry about time travel. further note, while in a comma tesla has all these radical dreams about a fantastic society and coming out of the comma motivates him to pursue those visions. chew on it for a spell. glad you are feeling better bout this, either way.

For that reason alone I'm canning older Tesla coming back to warn him. <br /><br />A game play element i wanted to go with now is to hide and manipulate the environment with light and gadgets. It would have very little fighting aspect to it. <br /><br />Perhaps if it was set in Tesla's present time he would stumble upon secrets to what Edison was planning to use him for. Sneaking around uncovering mystery's in the grimy and industrial 1885's New York. Its definitely something i'll think about.<br /><br />Personally i just really like dystopian futures lol, i think it would be possible to have it be a slow reveal so its less of a cop-out. Also setting it in the future lets me add "Tesla collecting parts to eventually get back home" as a game play element. But i could have him collecting something else as well if its his present time.<br /><br />Sorry, that was a looong message...

Is time travel really necessary in telling this story? I think it would be worth a try, to consider other alternatives besides sending tesla into the future/past. Using time travel to explain the outcome of Tesla's decisions later in life, seems like the easy/cliche way to go about the story. <br /><br />I think it would be stronger, if Tesla finds the courage to stand up for himself without the assistance of Future tesla and/or being transported to a dystopian future. <br /><br />but I think you are off to a good start.
