I agree, it would be disappointing if it was level-based, as a open-world game utilizing a pixel-art graphical style would be unique and, I think, fun to play. At any rate, I am going to enjoy this game, whether for the graphical style or the gameplay. Hopefully both.
i don't know what it is lately with games that are taking forever to come out. This, reckless racing, minigore update...there sure is alot to complain about lately
if you are subscribed to their newsletter, you should've seen these pics, SUMMER 2010 the triumph of our tired eyes
Sword and Sworcery ep 1 has anyone else got the email "the triumph of our tired eyes" these guys are super cryptic. and i could tolerate it if it even had a HINT at wtf they were talking about.. not this message in particular but any of them.. im ASSUMING they are done with the game but there is zero indication. whats the point of signing up to the mailing just for cryptic things that have nothing to do with the game? are they done? what is up with this game now? the only reason i think that it MAY be done is the header, plus they all have the same header . and they've never had that before. so if its done i hope to see it in the appstore in a few days. but if its more cryptic nonsense i wont be too please. ill still buy the game but im definantly going to unsubscribe.
Hey starcat, our teletext bulletins have always meant to provide a little sliver of the games development - mostly art, inspiration and the like. In essence, they represent us showing snippets of what we've been up to and what we're digging into for S+S inspiration. In the case of the latest, it's been us with the pedal to the metal, crunching hard to get the game done Unfortunately, the game is not done. But it's almost done. And we're happy with it. Rest assured that Touch Arcade & it's forumites will be the first to know when we've passed it off to Apple. Sorry if you're not digging the teletexts, hope that hasn't soured you on our hard work. Cheers, Nathan from Capy
Just love those teletex, and the rest. For starcat: "You havent heard much from us lately because we have been trapped deep in the bowls of Mingi Taw, searching for lost treasures (making content) and slaying monsters (fixing bugs). But, were finally ready to start cryptically breaking radio silence. The Equinox is near." taken from capybara today! This is THE game I've been looking forward most this year. I just hope it lives up to it!
only god and death can stop me from getting this game. i just didnt like how insanely little information there is. i understand the need to be somewhat cryptic even as a gimmick, but when im actually spending hours on the site looking in the corners for hidden links or highlighting everything. thats not fun thats frustrating lol. i tried to tell a friend of mine about the game and he was like ok send me the link to the site.. so i did.. he was not turned on at all. he was like ok so..its a pixle art game with an impossible website. why do you want this? anyway no it hasnt turned me off. it still reminds me of out of this world / another world and i appriciate the style and the work.
I think we might have to use this quote somewhere We know we haven't spewed a ton of info in a while - it's on purpose. We don't want to oversaturate. So much of the game is discovery and experience (we hope), and we don't want to lessen that. Anywho, as you can see on the Capy website (www.capybaragames.com), our radio silence and cryptic messages won't continue forever. The game is showing in Austin at Fantastic Fest (complete with Superbrothers in attendence) and we'll have more to come as well. Now, time to go hide stuff on the website. That was a good idea....
LOL i always assumed you did. i was always looking for hidden messages or flash / java files.. you guys ever play overture facile? thats how i picture you guys. next time you guys get a break of any length. check this out. read the rules and get to level 10 -15 if you can. then you will see what i mean. http://www.ouverture-facile.com/start/ i mean seriously i climbed all over your site looking for hidden stuff.
Can someone please let me know when this game would be releasing, I think about it, been waiting for so long ...
