Subject: My Galaxy compared to the Halo Universe ...

Ever since 2001, Halo has inspired me to create my own lil universe. I love Halo and dont think I cud hav achieved my ideas without it. But the thing is Ive kinnda lost hope, my own universe is nothin compared to the Halo universe. I dont want to be better than Halo ( which is unlikely anyways ) but I want to do something decent, it makes me feel bad as my own ideas will never be as greatly appriciated as Halo's.

You just need a good start is all, put it up somewhere on something like Deviant Art or some other place you can post writings and see what people think :)

Extremely long time fan of Halo and Bungie. More-so Bungie than Halo, I love where you guys started and I love where you are today. Don't worry, 343i will take good care of Halo. I am also on Rooster Teeth at SuckItBleu77, or you may follow my Twitter by the same name, peace out guys, and remember to respect the Seven7th.

To tell you the truth, Halo is an amazing Universe is most peoples prospective and the others are lying, with the vivid images, emotions, and striking characters in each element of Halo, it's tough to beat. A little more practice can get you really good, even Bungie had to start somewhere.

I myself have created my own expansive universe in my head, inspired from hundreds of different things, mainly Halo.

For example: One of the Species use Very large versions of UNSC Frigates as their mainline Warships.

Bungie has truly created the best back story and in depth universe I've ever seen.

I think almost everybody has their own story(s) that they've made up nowadays. Whatever I write tends to be a massive amalgamation of almost everything I've read and really liked as its foundation. Like the one I want to publish eventually is fantasy, but I've been thinking of writing a "just for fun" story set in a sci-fi setting of the same universe.

And to the OP, as long as the story is original you should have no problems, and everybody has to have a start somewhere, I mean even someone like Tolkien or J.K. Rowling had to start small and work their way up. The important thing is just keep working and improving, and you'll either get to fame eventually, like Bungie or any other great writers you admire, or at worst you'll have indulged in an awesome hobby, that while not making you any money, entertains you and any friends you share it with :)

Thanks everyone, I guess I shud belive in myself with my ideas, and deviant art is a pretty good idea to start setting up my drawings/ideas. Thanks again :)

Sangheili Major: "Brute ships. Staggered line! Shipmaster, they outnumber us, three-to-one!"

Rtas 'Vadum: "Then it is an even fight. All Cruisers, fire at will! Burn their mongrel hides!"

As was already said; just be original, and everyone has to start somewhere.
Hell, I have a project that I recently revived that I started back in 2003-2004ish. I was either eight or nine, so you can guess how much it sucked.
But it's grown so much over the years and I'm finally happy with it. The universe spreads far, as does the timeline. I haven't finished the first book and my mind is already reeling with ideas for two others.
Just practice with some things, look into other games/books. Halo was my main inspiration, but over time Mass Effect, Dead Space 2, Crysis 2 and a few others have become my inspirations. And hell, I haven't played any of those -I just went over the wikia pages.

Good luck with your project! :) And yeah, get set up on DeviantART! It's full of wonderful people and inspiration can be found all over there.

In my sci-fi universe, people have developed a specialized suit capable of surviving a fall from orbit.

THis, of course, spawned an extreme sport known as 'ship-jumping'.


Keyword: Find something nobody else has ever thought up. Mix fantasy and sci-fi if you have to. Just be original.

Its good to add little things like your 'ship-jumping'. It adds more of a realistic idea.

  • 03.19.2011 10:33 AM PDT

halo is indeed "insipiring", must tbh it is just another same science fiction story just crammed with lots and lots of backround detail through books and a few notable things in the game.
