If you have never played one of Outfit7’s Talking Tom & Friends mobile games, or watched an episode of Talking Tom & Friends, I highly recommend doing so.

The games are more addictive than doomscrolling or Facebook stalking your ex, while the show—even though it’s meant for kids— is better than most adult comedies I’ve seen.

With delightful visual gags like Ben attempting to demonstrate his whimsy by sitting stone-faced behind his table-tennis desk while a chattering teeth toy chomps its way to freedom (“The Audition,” 1x0), or proving the statement “I’m organized…in a fun way!” by shoving his previously-immaculately-laid-out colored pencils into various orifices (“The Audition,” 1x0), and lines like "I have to go back to the only people who can be trusted: a secret organization with shadowy goals and unlimited power" ("Where's Angela?" 4x01), I find myself full-belly laughing every episode.

All this is to say: I’m a fan of the franchise and had a lot of fun creating this project.

For the project itself, I:

Created a brand-new character to add to the Talking Tom & Friends universe 
Wrote the spec script for a “Talking Tom & Friends” episode that introduces my brand-new character 
Provided base outlines for two games based on said character

Meet Kyle, the Fugitive Alien Prince!

Kyle (K.Y.L.E.), which stands for “King of Your Little Earth,” is a prince from space who is on the run, and he needs the gang’s help to stay hidden where his alien parents can’t find him.

Young by alien standards but old by Earth ones, Kyle is inquisitive, impulsive, and used to getting what he wants, when he wants it. He wasn’t allowed to have many friends growing up because of the security risk, so when he meets Talking Tom and friends, he is eager to fit in.

Episode Description:

An alien prince named Kyle lands on top of the garage and demands that Talking Tom and his friends help hide him from his intergalactic parents! The best way to keep an alien hidden on Earth is to teach them how to blend in…right?

Game Outlines Based on Kyle’s Character

Game One: A Virtual Pet App

The app, titled something like Kyle on Earth, or Talking Kyle for consistency, would be a virtual pet app with in-app purchases, in the style of My Talking Tom and My Talking Angela.

Backstory: teaching Kyle how to behave like an Earthing, so he can better blend in whilst hiding on Earth from his alien parents.

This includes: teaching him about hygiene, delicious food, and introducing him to Earthling clothes and hobbies. And of course, showing his comical confusion when he interacts with whatever various Earth objects the player introduces him to (I have a feeling that an electric toothbrush would be a revelation for him).

A possible app tagline:

Kyle is in trouble with his parents, and needs to hide out on Earth! Help this alien prince blend in by teaching him what it means to be an Earthling.

Game Two: An Endless Runner Game

The app, titled something like Talking Tom Planetary Heist, would be a runner game with in-app purchases, in the style of Talking Tom Hero Dash, and Talking Tom Gold Rush.

A possible app tagline:

The Rakoonz have invaded Kyle’s home planet, and stolen the crown jewels! Help Talking Tom and his friends catch the Rakoonz, and save the day!

Chase down the Rakoonz using spaceships, rocket-powered roller skates, and hoverboards!

The sneaky Rakoonz are full of tricks, so keep your eyes open for traps and obstacles as you dash after them through the various terrains of Kyle’s home planet.

Finally, for those who don’t want to read the script PDF in a new window, I have embedded all 19 pages as a gallery below! I had so much fun writing this episode and I hope you enjoy reading it!

If you aren’t familiar with “Talking Tom & Friends” and you want to become a fan at breakneck speed before diving into my episode, the pilot is a great introduction to the characters and the Season 4 premiere is a great example of the ‘anything goes’ creative freedom energy radiating out of the series’ scripts (each episode is about 12 minutes long).
