Ludoverse

About the Doujin

Ludoverse: Legacy is an independently created manga-style story combining science fantasy, political drama, action, humor, and the history of technology.

The story follows original characters with their own personalities, relationships, conflicts, motivations, and development. Although historical events and real technologies provide the foundation of the setting, the narrative takes place in its own fictional universe.

What Is Ludoverse?

Ludoverse is an original fictional universe inspired by the history of video games and computers.

Historical developments, technological rivalries, industry crises, and changes between hardware generations are reimagined as nations, conflicts, powers, and personal dramas.

Some characters represent or are inspired by particular video game consoles, computers, and handheld systems. However, they are not intended to be literal recreations of those products. They are original fictional characters who embody aspects of their respective technologies, histories, legacies, and cultural impact.

Knowledge of video game history may help readers recognize references and parallels, but it is not required to understand the story.
