Child of Light

[Raban]

I don't even remember it. I think I have a mental block against that shit, but in the interest of comedy I looked it up. Quality writing right here, folks:
"But of course Aurora smiled
 Before their eyes, astonished (emphasis on SHED)
 To a mirror she led them
 And they stepped through it instead"
What the fuck is that!? Astonished and instead?

Cool lil game. Battle system is good, but I wish it was more Grandia. Up to the 7th chapter.

In the vein of Rime of the Ancient Mariner, emphasis would be placed on end syllables to make rhymes work.

The writing is terrible.  Seems par for the course in video games for me.    Game is fun though.

This is probably giving them too much credit.

That was their direct inspiration for the rhyming scheme though

No, they just suck at rhyming,

The game is alright, the writing is terribad, but it looks pretty and the music is great.

Battles become a bit one note after a while, esp. since you probably wont use majority of the characters.

[Raban]

you could probably do worse for a $15 game. Otoh, you could probably do a whole lot better.

Maybe it's like reading KW Jeter's sequels to Blade Runner and PKD's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, where you can recognize that the person is inspired by their source material, is lovingly attempting to do it service, but utterly face-planting in terms of execution?

Here's a trailer for the other game that was announced with Child of Light - Valiant Hearts

Looks pretty good, more puzzle based. I will probably buy it.

[Lucretius]

The writing process for this game:



Valiant Hearts looks good.  Some nice animated beards there.  Miyazaki-level beard age!

[Beezy]

Really liked this game. Beat it earlier today on Hard. If they ever decide to make a sequel, they need to let you use 3-4 party members at once in battle.

it's amazing that you posted a clip of The Princess Bride, luc, cuz I was talking to brob during the stream about how he really needs to see that movie
