Hello everyone, I guess it's time to show a early work in progress game project that I've been working on along with some friends, let me share a bit of it with you guys.
First of all, i'd like to present the group, we are Everlude, indie game developers. I'm the graphical artist, Game designer, writer and the one in charge of the group and the project, We got two programers and one other writer and manager that work on some general stuff. I've contacted S.N.N. and Todd from SMWCentral for the audio, and they gladly said yes, unfortunatelly, there are some issues that need to be taken care of before the music starts to be developed. Now that we both know each other, let us start.
Hollow is a puzzle game where you control a strange creature made of Ink, attending by the name of "Hollow", that just woke up somewhere unfamiliar. He starts to wander until he arrives at one broken windmill, once inside he finds an old green cap, and for his surprise, a little friend was hiding under it: One floating eye. Both of them set of on one deep and reflexive journey.
You control both characters: Hollow and TheEye (That stands as one support character, hovering around moving small objects to help hollow to proceed). Since Hollow is made of Ink, the game mechanics run around paintings, hollow can enter various canvases and change them using ink, transiting between the real world and the worlds existing within the paintings. We're going for the wise use of natural envoirment as part of the real world, and one abstract and surreal approach to these puzzles within paintings.
I'll now hand you all this awesome teaser made by myself and one really big help from Dawn.
The game main focus is to deliver one deep and emotional experience, where, albeit the game's initial visuals, have one really mature plot around it along with some unexpected turn of events.
The project is still early in development, but i hope you guys like the project, we are working for a really polished product, and soon you all will be able to play it.
We will be showing news and updates via Facebook for now, if you'd like to keep in touch, just give a like. Please leave some feedback and/or questions. Thank you all, and good C3.
