So they moved this project from a XBL download to the Wii? So yet another hand drawn 2D game that would have looked stunning at 720p is being dropped down to 480p? Sigh.....
You have serious issues my friend!
Did anyone else at this at all?
Hahahaha, I skipped over it before, but it reads like a fanfic written by a 15-year old! I guess Luc's not out of his angsty "misunderstood artist" phase yet.

The game looks pretty cool, though. I like the style, and yeah if it looks good in motion I'll be sold. Cause who needs gameplay! Also, is it just me or does this whole thing reek of incredible pretentiousness? I mean:

* the game is an Interactive Fairytale
I know they're trying to describing the game's good qualities, but an Interactive Fairytale?! And why are they patting themselves on the back for an orchestral soundtrack?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This looks to me like a very early build. Although I don't know when this game will launch, it really shows a lot of the symptoms that I see on early builds whenever I work on projects (and that's the reason why most companies don't show them, too!). The animation frames are not done yet, there's clear gameplay issues... There aren't even any sound effects it seems. Although I'm not saying this game will be good (I'm pretty skeptical in fact), I'd say that this video might not be representative of the final product. At least it shouldn't be, cause it looks bloody awful!

I don't like the music much, it sounds hackneyed to me. Cheap cliché Elfman ripoff that's in lots of kids shows and stuff, I don't really need it. I don't think it fits the tone of the level either. But maybe this song doesn't actually go with this level, it could be the theme song for all I know.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Boy oh boy... This kid seriously needs to humble down. "Chef d'oeuvre", indeed. Leave it to the French to introduce a pretentious designer in the games industry, we didn't have one of those yet. I bet he goes around saying "I'm a genius! A GENIUS!!"

How ya doing, buddy?

Actually he's from the UK... :P So its more like "leave it to the pompous Brits"...
BRIT!? But... He's called Luc Bennard!... LUC!... BEN..AR.....

MY WORLD IS CRUMBLING!!!!...

Anyway, from everything that's been posted here, I can't shake the feeling that I got. I mean seriously, who makes his masterpiece at age 21? Buuut at the same time, I was initially somewhat intruiged by the whole thing, so I'll keep an eye on it. In a way, having a tempered expectation helps in judging the game on its merits.

Either way, I sure do hope the game turns out good, because there's a very fragile revival of 2D games going on right now. I feel like a number of bad, high budget 2D games might blow that whole renaissance thing out of the water!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
