Wild West
Cowboys meet samurais, with a little steampunk glue

Synopsis
Wild West is going to be a story about the main character cast out to the west while his mother, who discovered a new time of steam-punk energy, plots towards a massive and ruthless expansion of their family’s railroad business. Simultaneously Japan has migrated and integrated into the west of America and our hero will encounter many unfamiliar faces and unsuspecting allies on his journey to stop his mother’s plan.
I would like the narrative elements of my piece to revolve around the mid to late 1800’s during the peak of the United States Westward Expansion and exploration of the “Wild West”
From a concept perspective the design will play off of the fictional alternative narrative of Japanese eastern expansion across seas while territorial clans sought to rival their enemies for power and dominion
