Looks really interesting. What kind of game will it be?

A iso RPG, like Fallout, X-Com, Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment and such. We're a ways off from having anything playable, but it's coming along. :)

oo! Where can I buy it? What platform dose it run on? ^_^

Give us about 2 years to finish it. :D It'll be PC, likely Mac as well.

The bit of marketing is cute there. Isometric environments... Wow.. What a new, novel innovation.. *grin*

Aside from that, I really do look forward to this game.

They still look cool, dammit. :D My favorite game these days (Space Rangers 2) is a non-linear 2d space combat/trading game, could have been done on hardware from 7 years ago. But it's attracted me in a way big next generation games haven't.

Plenty of games are exciting without 'next-gen' graphics.

Take the mindless shooter Geometry Wars. c.c; Addictive and simplistic.. No plot, no third dimension, no characters, just shapes that you desperately need to blow up.

My biggest contention with the push towards next generation graphics is the budgets required to generate them tend to force and inform developers into a mindset of making very un-replayable games that basically amount to theme park rides. Exciting and fun for a short time, but no depth. I like my Half Life 2 as much as the next guy, but I'm already spent more time playing this SR2 and I'm nowhere near done yet.

Geometry Wars Evolved is possitively face-melting with it's graphics, though. Sure, no fancy textures, but lighting and particle effects to the Nth degree when you get high enough.

Pixel shaded pinwheels oh my!

Took me a while to learn. I have a working knowledge of 3d modeling software, and a lot of experience with Photoshop, and I sorta combined them in a mutant fashion so I can accomplish this sort of stuff very quickly. I kept experimenting until I found a process that was really efficient and still looked good.

Oh you're so kind. ^_^

These are totally fabulous iso backgrounds. The details in the tiles and bricks are really impressive. Nice an' moody, too.

I've always loved what you do with light and color.

I know very few about video games, all I can say is you're using a nice harmony of colors that'll give a special mood to the game.

Impressive; very atmospheric backgrounds!

Very reminiscent of things like Fallout and Torment.
This would look right at home in the Fallout world before the war.

Is it all just 3d and photoshop or have you used photographic elements too?

That's the idea. ^_^ Torment is one of our favorite games, that's the thrust of our project, is an RPG hevay on writing like Torment. The models are built as untextured 3d, and then I render them, bring them into Photoshop and do my pantented jiggering of public domain textures over the top.
