Forgot to post it here sorry guys lol.

I started concepting this thing a good few years ago (around 2023) and started fully trying to flesh it out about a year ago, so all before the wiki had updated the gremlins and their relationships (based on a discord screenshot mind you)

I have entire rambles in my documents about the family tree and trying to piece it together because at the time all there was canonically confirmed (stated in-game specifically) was that Markus is Gus' nephew, and that Jamface is Markus' cousin. No other details about the latter of those. The reason I was so fixated on it was the fact that Jamface could be placed ANYWHERE on the tree so long as he counted as a cousin.

And then I decided "Fuck it, I'm making my own shit up" and then literally a month or two later the wiki got updated that Jamface is Gus' SON???? And Prescott is his brother????? You're telling me that French McGee is Mr. Tea and Crumpet's son???

Maybe I'm a hater. And maybe I'm being stubborn and keeping the work I did instead of erasing all of it and building from the ground up again.

ALL OF THIS TO SAY: Prescott is not related to Gus' family in Fresh Ink. It's not entirely important since Fresh Ink is a rewrite of the first game specifically, but it might be brought up. And if I ever decide to continue the story after the first game, then that's where it'll be a whole thing.

Okay, thanks for reading all of this please don't hate me here's the family tree + extra gus and widgets doodle

Shoutout to anyone whose still in the Epic Mickey fandom who remembers these designs JNSAFJKN

Actual voice acting! In the original game, the characters didn't talk to mimic a silent movie using Warren Spector's Bark-talk technique. The only character who spoke in complete sentences was Yen Sid, the narrator. That changed in the sequel and was one of the few good things that came out of it. Let's agree that if the first game succeeds, we get a complete rewrite for the sequel. But no AI Voices, Please!

More characters that were either cut from the original game or more forgotten characters add more to the world-building. For example, in the original Disney The Gremlins book, the female variants of the gremlins were called Fifinellas, and the children were called the Widgets. Even Gremlin Jamface, who was also cut from the original game, makes an appearance, too. That would be awesome if they're added! Suppose the Hatbox ghost and other cut Haunted Mansion characters appear in the game. In that case, it will bring the Haunted Mansion level to life in a new way. And speaking of characters.

CHARACTER REDESIGNS TO DISTINGUISH WHICH CHARACTER IS WHICH!!! It will help each one stand out so they don't look like clones. For example, Gremlin Prescott had a different design in the sequel. Still, Gremlin Jamface looked like he was Gremlin Markus's twin rather than a cousin.

Return to levels where you can collect film reels you missed in the projectors once you completed the game.

Not getting stuck in boss battles solved since I stumbled on this issue twice, causing me to start the game over. However, I didn't mind because I loved the game.

Cut levels we never got to see? For example, there was supposed to be an Alice in Wonderland level with a Cheshire Cat boss to fight, but it was cut from the final game. I don't know if it will happen, but you'll never know.
