Support NeoGAF

[Foggy]

Looks like heaven

 

[redhood56]

Even the main menu looks amazing. This is shaping up to be something special

 

[12BoM]

Wow, they made that demo in 6 days? That's impressive right?

 

[Falchion]

That looks really, really cool.

 

[BraXzy]

Oh and we'll sort out some proper HD wallpapers soon!

The sooner I can change my wallpaper to something gorgeous from your game the better!

Thanks for the updates! I tend to check the Twitter pages every few weeks for new GIFs and info, but it's always great when one of the devs stop by

No 'Odd Tales Developer' tag for madquills?

 

[Rehynn]

By far my most anticipated indie game. Super-stoked to hear that Perturbator is involved.

...This should run well on an i5 Surface Pro 3, right?

 

[More_Badass]

Dev tweeted this in response to someone sharing his new lockscreen

Oh <3 This screenshot has traveled so much now. It has seen things you wouldn't believe… We're so far from this now!

And it sounds like we'll be getting new screenshots soon

Yes. In our next devblog article. We'll decipher together the visuals of The Last Night, creatively & technically.

He's talking about this screenshot btw

But...that already looked so good...

 

[Head.spawn]

So many awesome looking games on the horizon. Thanks for all the updates!

I don't even know how they would make that look better, it looks lovely already.

Some really cool GIFs from Twitter

Here a test using lighting to suggest a crowded street behind the camera

Just a few tests to see if pixel art textures could be applied to polygonal boxes. Would enable us to do some cool destructive enviro.

Old physics tests. Fully breakable boxes with joints actually containing stuff.

Our main character is very clumsy. All of these are super old tests. Actually ending up useful for gameplay, characterisation & storytelling

 

[iratA]

Looks so good. So much promise in these shots here's hoping it all comes together well. Oh and PS4 platform please.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Can't wait, but I have a *feeling* (based on nothing but the devs' posts, project getting bigger and stuff shown) this won't see the light before mid 2018.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Man, they're really going all in on small lighting/environmental details. I hope to see a conversation explode into a shootout in a densely packed area where every box full of oranges is shot and knocked over.

 

[DangerMouse]

Looks and sounds so good.

 

[VindicatorZ]

I played a VR 2d platformer with a similar art style to this on Gear VR, but I forgot the name right now. It was an indie game jam, but the game showed really cool potential for 2D platformers in VR. EDIT: Found it, it was called Phase Shift. Check this out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq7QjZ5YWYk

I can only imagine this game in VR, fully immersed in that beautiful cyberpunk setting while controlling the character in 2D. It would be amazing. I hope they can look into this in the future.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

This looks pretty fantastic.

[UberLevi]

loooord

 

[4jjiyoon]

where's the gif from?

 

[Feep]

That is *unbelievable*.

 

[More_Badass]

where's the gif from?

Someone in another thread found it in this article from last month

[redhood56]

The lighting is bananas.

 

[Fjordson]

Holy fuck man. Visually this is pretty much perfect.

 

[iratA]

Oh my that looks sweet! I hope official platform support + tentative date is announced soon.

 

[Fjordson]

I definitely need some wallpapers. Maybe even some iPhone joints.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Somehow it looks even better in motion.

 

[Skilotonn]

This is the third indie game in the span of two weeks where I just discover a game for the first time and immediately want it.

 

[exmachina64]

Sweet Christmas!

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

Jesus fuck at that gif

 

[More_Badass]

What were the other two?

 

[Speely]

I would have sex with this game. Goddamn.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Been eagerly anticipating this one for a while now. Wizards. Really can't wait, and I'm excited to hear it's becoming a full game.

 

[BBboy20]

They are severely on to something.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Enough people have already said it but dude how

 

[Speely]

They are severely on to something.

The idea of 2D gameplay with 3D maps in the way they are doing it is pretty brilliant. It also looks sexy as hell.

 

[StoveOven]

This game keeps looking better and better. I hope the wait isn't too much longer, but I'll take it whenever it's ready.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Holy shit, this game looks absolutely incredible. I want it.

 

[FireRises]

this looks great

 

[VindicatorZ]

Fuck looks amazing. Please make a VR platformer in the future, I want to go inside this world.

 

[Zaheer]

I need this in my life, holy fuck.

 

[More_Badass]

That evolution reminds me of how it looks when you compare original Rain World to the current game

 

[Sloane]

Uh, yeah, that's quite the step up. And the original already looked crazy good.

 

[totowhoa]

In so glad I clicked on this thread. Game looks fantastic

 

[Sotha Sil]

This is... wow.

 

[Speely]

That evolution reminds me of how it looks when you compare original Rain World to the current game

Great analogy!

Edit: I need this game in my life now. This specific fucking thing is why I love video games. When someone has a vision like this and works hard to make it real, it's amazing.

 

[GamingOblivion]

Holy shit this game is absolutely in fucking charge of its art direction. I've never seen a game that just oozes such a unique style.

Whew.

This was from their devlog post a few months back

We want to tell you how we went from scrappy pixel art for a gamejam in a tiny 691x269 window, to a massive 1920x1080 filled with delicious pixel art full of details, a real sense of depth and lovely animations.

We want to tell you how we imagined and designed the futuristic, gritty, yet charming city of the game. How we settled on some gameplay features, like our real time action dialogues and our 2.5D camera, and how we are juicing them.

We want to explain you how we animate our characters by hand, and how we randomise their behaviours to create a rich, 2D, believable crowd where you blend in. Or even how we are using lighting as an aesthetic, creative, and storytelling tool.

So very excited to see that vision. I'd include this with Rain World, Somerville, and Ghost Song as games that just exude passion and a very specific vision

 

[Slaythe]

I am truly in awe.

This is the first time I look at a game and have absolutely no idea about how to replicate the style.

It's incredible, so much work and detail.

 

[Aters]

This is one of those "fall in love in first sight" games for me. The art, the sound, OMG! The last one I remember was Bastion. That game was pretty boring from gameplay perspective IMO. I hope this game plays better. Anyway, I'm on board just for the art.

I truly love how indies can realize a vision much more realistically these days. Else, we would absolutely NOT see games like Rain World or The Last Night.

Yeah, I played the game jam version way back, and waso happy that they decided to expand it. Damn, they sure did expand it
