I can almost hear the amazing soundtrack.

He's totally nailing that 1986-era Macintosh graphical style. Really underused period for visual nostalgia.

 

[Nzyme32]

Really liking the idea so far. My wallet is open, just need more info and to see how it all comes together!

There's almost no one to have nostalgia of that period as nobody had the money to buy a Macintosh at the time hehehe

 

[Zemm]

Interesting, will wait for the digital foundry analysis first though incase there's a dropped frame.

 

[SPACECADET]

papers please was a really good time, i'll get this no matter what.

Not true, there are those of us who had access to Macintoshes in elementary school/junior high! Yes, some places did actually upgrade from Apple IIs!

In the US there were very aggressive Macintosh educational programs not here in Portugal though

Not the biggest fan of Papers, Please but this seems really interesting. Curious to see how this will turn out.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Love the aesthetic.

 

[duckroll]

Mmmm... visuals already look awesome. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Glad he's doing something different too. Variety is what drives creativity.

 

[chubigans]

The aesthetic is a welcome change from something like pixel art. Really cool stuff.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I want this to have a shufflepuck minigame. I just do, even if it doesn't fit.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Yes! You had me at "from the creator of Papers Please"

 

[blamite]

Damn, this looks awesome!

The premise and graphical style are both really interesting on their own, but the combination looks amazing.

I really need to finish Papers, Please.

 

[epmode]

Interesting idea. Should be huge with the scenesters.

You hear that, thread? You're all scenesters.

 

[Corto]

Not at all. I'm a pretty nice guy.

 

[Robot Pants]

Already bought.

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Looks interesting and different. I'll keep up with it.

 

[Justinsimonin]

This concept sounds great and this art style looks amazing! Excited for this

 

[chogidogs]

Good luck to him. Guy obviously knows his audience.

 

[MichaelFassbender]

Can't wait to swab the poop deck, belay the mast, and ahoy the anchor couplings.

 

[wilflare]

glad to see more games like this

We've gone from 8-bit indie to DOS monochrome indie!

 

[yurinka]

Love this 1 bit art, so awesome! Would be nice a Digital Foundry about it.

Hah that would be interesting to say the least.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Visually nice.

I know this is almost a three year bump, but no one posted that he had a GDC 2016 demo last year, so here's a link to download it: https://dukope.itch.io/return-of-the-obra-dinn

And, here's a development blog. Seems like this was a much bigger undertaking that originally planned, and still a ways off.

[TissueBox]

Hope we get this dated eventually. Meanwhile I'll be waiting with my party hat and kazoo, so keep on keepin' on Lucas..!!

 

[Secret Fawful]

This is legitimately one of the neatest games I have ever seen.
