To kill a game

I've been thinking about killing my game "Diamond Quest" for several reasons:

Not well planned
hardly anybody plays
I've no idea how to finish it off

What I want to do is kill this game and replace it with something else of the same gamplay, i.e. a platformer.
However this time I want to do it based on a "theme" that is well known, like my Metal Sonic game which has become a success for me, it was based on the popular sonic series, where as Diamond Quest was just something random.

So here was what I was thinking: "Virtual Homer".

Basically it's Homer Simpson going through several gaming themes such :

Tetris
Pacman
Super Mario land (several ideas here)
Sonic

What I want to try here is to combine the humour of homer with the gameplay of different gaming themes, for instance Homer flying through space defeating viruses from dr.mario, etc.

However, I want to expand ideas further than just these four, (or any oher I can come up with).

So any ideas?

kill any thing that has sonic in it

fooey! I do not like the homer idea because it's homer! Noone will likely play it because almost every game vased off of a TV show or movie usually suck. TV and videogames don't mix except that the tv screen is used as the monitor...
You should create a character that is humorous and use it instead of homer. Like Jobo the soldier

yes.

who?

You should use an original character. Like Mary G. Wahna the crazy gang leader with an ak47 in each hand.

If you can give me a reference of her, i.e. a picture of her or a detailed description of her, I may actually go ahead with that.
I've been wanting to create my own set of sprites anyway!

She has a moderate figure with frizzy black hair wearing dirty trashy hand-me-downs that are a bit too small. She has two eyes, one's a bit bigger than the other, a nose and maybe a couple of ears, she probably has an arm or two maybe a couple legs i don't know. She only has one kidney, she sold one for smoke money. I think that'll do.

¬_¬........................................
Tell ya what how about I just come with a new charactewr myself?

Ok lets hear some ideas.

Alright Then.....

Name:Kevin Vice

Age: (at death) 25
(current age) 28

Occupation: (former) Military Captain and expert strategist
(Current) Ex Military Captain, Cyborg experiment, Gun-for-Hire

Skills: (former)Expert strategy skill, always knew how an enemy would act in certain situations and would react accordingly.
Highly trained marksman and close combat expert.
(current)As before, but with increased strength and speed thanks to cybernetic enhancements.

Weaponry:Body equipped with various weaponry, such as a mini missile launcher in the chest and machine guns in each arm.
Both arms can produced blades at the elbow and palm of the hand, the arms can then detached and thrown like a bladed boomerang.

Back story: later...

Ok lets hear another one.

I like that game!

Name: Razor Sharpe

Species:Scorpion (possibly a fat tail scorpion)

Age:19

Personality:Usually easy going and surprisingly polite, however is very quick tempered and is known to hold long grudges with anybody that goes against him.
When fighting he has a habit of "mocking" his opponents, which can effectivly distract them.

Skills:
Natural brawler - Highly skilled in street fighting and martial arts, even against multilpe oppoenents won't bother him as he always likes a challenge.

Digging -Has the ability to literally "swim" in the ground which is useful for surprise attacks.

Spin attack -Spins horizontally like a drill to attack opponents or to dig into the ground quickly, spinnig fast enough can create a mini-vortex which sucks in opponents.

High resistance - Like a scorpion he has armour like skin that can absorb the worst from a punch, but not strong enough to take on a bullet, which Razor learned the hard way!

Other notes:
His grandfather was a sea scorpion with traits passed on with each generation, Razor is very manourverable in the water and can hold his breath for long periods.

Razor possess an unatural defect in his tail as it does not contain any poisons, a trait that his father did not take very well.

Razor's father killed his own wife after an argument whilst drunk, Razor hates and rejects his father because of this, likewise his father hates him as well.

Razor's most prized possession is a small gem given to him by his mother when he was younger, for reasons even he doesn't understand, it gives him peace when his anger is at it's worst.

I actually quite like this one.
I'm thinking of making actual sprites for this character.
....and before anybody asks YES I know my drawing skillz suck, the drawing ain't official it's only a piece of concept art.

Nice drawing, I want three more characters.
