AUTHOR'S NOTE


Hi, everyone! SpideyBrez1299, here.

As you can see, I have already published four chapters of The Adventures of Ratchet & Clank. And yes, I've been making minor changes to each of them due to lots of proofreading (and feeling unsure if they are easy to read or not). This is my first time being absolutely ready to write a full fan-fictional story.

The reason for writing a story inspired by this popular video game series created by Insomniac Games is that I started to love playing Ratchet & Clank last year and came to realize I've been missing out on a lot of the really good games to play. And for me, writing a story like this felt like a good opportunity to experience what it is to be a writer. I was obsessed with Marvel superhero games at the time when I was young. Regardless of whether those said superhero games were popular or not, I still cherish them.

Plus, I got back into playing on a PlayStation console after my Xbox 360 and Xbox One for a long time. The PS-exclusive games I got to experience from 2019 up to today are Sly Cooper, God of War, Jak and Daxter, Marvel's Spider-Man and Miles Morales, Uncharted, and The Last of Us. And I'm still going to move on to more, like Horizon and perhaps Spyro the Dragon.

As far as the current chapters could indicate, The Adventures of Ratchet & Clank is based on the very first R&C game that started it all. Well, mostly based on it. It also has some elements of the movie, its PS4 remake, and a few other R&C games incorporated into it. Most exclusive characters from the film and PS4 game are included in the story, but a few others are either omitted or replaced by original characters and reinventions I created for this one. There will be different new scenes and dialogue with bits and pieces adapted from the previous official works by Insomniac Games.

The thing about this story I feel would make it interesting and very special to its readers is the in-depth exploration of the main characters' emotions and motivations. Meaning we'll get to know how they feel and why they have those certain individual goals they want to achieve. That kind of thing.

I will do my best to make the fanfic as nostalgic as possible to those of you who are true R&C fans, but just know the story is not going to be the same as the original game's story entirely, just mostly. If you all have ideas you want to give me and like for me to input, feel free to share and I'll see what I can make out of them for the next chapters. Just type them in the comment section below.

With that in mind, I will publish a "Thanking Credits Page" with the names of those who gave their ideas to help me create a fun, entertaining, and exciting new retelling of a beloved franchise. I'll be happy to keep adding names to the page when I scroll through all comment sections to make sure I don't leave out any of you. The same thing goes for all viewers on Wattpad.

If you also have any questions in terms of how I intend to write the story, or just for social quality time, ask away! I will also take constructive feedback. But please, keep all comments respectful, friendly, and courteous. That means no cyberbullying, threats, and disrespectful commentary of all kinds.

All further updates will be posted.

Coming up next soon... Chapter 5: The Adventure Begins.

Hope you all enjoy the story. Thank you!
