This is the first footage of the game they've released to non-backers. Pretty interesting to see the game preview process as well.

Also, if you weren't a backer, they've put up a couple highlight videos edited together from the excellent documentary series, basically going through the development of the game so far.

Funny how no one really cares about this game anymore.

I care, and I highly doubt I'm not the only one.

There's only so much to discuss about a game so far out, already busy week for games otherwise.
Even they've taken breaks from it with things like Brutal Legend PC and the gamejam streams.

Jawmuncher · Mar 25, 2013

I'll wait for a REAL trailer.
I didn't back this so i'm not intersted in people talking.

Now that BioShock Infinite is released this is my number one most sought after game. Bring it to me.

because many discussion were had for this game and backers saw videos like this ages ago.......

whenever a specific thread for a game doesn't get replies it means no-one cares for that game?

Backers get an amazing 30+ min documentry episode every few months which satiates. There isn't even a trailer,the name was only officially announced a few days ago!

thefro · Mar 25, 2013

A few screencaps from the video (which are all filmed off a monitor, so obviously not the best quality)

Fried Food · Mar 26, 2013

Very interesting seeing the preview process. I've spent so much time watching the developers it was kinda weird seeing the games press come in.

which is ironic since I'm normally following the games press

Extra Sauce · Mar 26, 2013

Looking forward to that first trailer.

megalowho · Mar 26, 2013

That mountain of cookie, chocolate and banana looks delicious and menacing. Nathan Stapley is a really creative and unique artist, if this game is him just running wild it's going to be a visual treat.

Madrugador · Mar 26, 2013

The documentary is the best. I love what 2PP and Double Fine did with the series.

Can't wait to play this game, so glad I backed this.

IdreamofHIME · Mar 26, 2013

I really dislike the artstyle.

Anticitizen One · Mar 26, 2013

Art style is really generic flash game art.

I thought it would be high def version of something like this:

epmode · Mar 26, 2013

It kind of annoys me that scummvm.org only hosts screenshots with that awful filter applied.

eznark · Mar 26, 2013

vareon · Mar 26, 2013

The artstyle is not something I expected.

It may not be what you expected or hoped it to be, but it is a far cry from generic flash game art.

Extra Sauce · Mar 26, 2013

That first screenshot looks pretty nice, the rest is harder to judge.

That's because they are all unfinished screens seen in the documentary, if the last one wasn't a big clue considering its not colored yet lol. The top one is the closest to complete, as it is the area they have mostly finished at this point.

Salsa · Mar 26, 2013

Bagel is an amazing artist, I really like how it looks and I can only expect for it to be even better on its final form.

Anyway, cool that they're doing this. Non-backers have been missing an amazing journey.

also it's still really early guys

I'd like to know as well. It's absolutely brilliant. Is it just because it doesn't look like a dopey 90s cartoon?

tokkun · Mar 26, 2013

There is maybe 10 seconds of actual game footage in that video. The rest is just documentary, which is the stuff I really do not care about. Wait until we get a video that actually gives us a sense of what the game is before decrying the lack of enthusiasm.

GMN said:

Well, there's Machinarium.

This makes no sense to me. Flash games are known for their clean, crisp vector-art. This game uses a soft, painterly brush-stroke approach. They're almost polar opposites.

Wow, I haven't seen any of these yet, only on part one of the series so far but it's really fascinating.

CecilRousso · Mar 26, 2013

The last picture is work in progress with placeholder graphics. I think it should be removed from the other pictures, since it gives the wrong impression of the graphics.

I like it. Looks like something I could enjoy, like Machinarium.

Messofanego · Mar 26, 2013

You're literally walking into paintings. Can not wait. They gave out a supposed release date in the backer videos, but maybe only us backers can talk about it.

bomma_man · Mar 26, 2013

looks really good.

is tim writing/directing this?

Celine · Mar 26, 2013

Art-style is beautiful but what make me happy more is the scumm font and pointer.

Didn't really notice them at first, but that's great.

Yeah, looks like a cheap Eastern European cartoon I watched as a kid in the 80s. Dunno why they chose it but that's pretty much the reason why I've stopped following development of the game. Guess I'll eventually play it though. :jnc

Old-school font and pointer is cool though.

krYlon · Mar 26, 2013

I love the art style
