Broken Age - Double Fine's Kickstarter Adventure Game

[kaizoku]

The video where he showed his book listing all the names until he reached Grim Fandango title was pretty awesome :D

It becomes more difficult to choose a name when you don't know the game's story and characters.
Tim is the right man to come up with a title.

 

[Taxnomore]

Yeah. Some of these titles might actually be brilliant in context of the story, but we are not allowed to know.

 

[Duraframe300]

It's called Broken Age now.

Oh well, at least now there's a better image for the game :

Spoiler

 

[DalekFlay]

That doesn't look very Lucasarts-y to me, visually.

 

[Dexter]

How the fuck did they go with "Broken Age"? It was the worst of the bunch and reminds of a dozen other games with "Age" in the name like Dragon Age.

 

[Jarpie]

The character style is so off-putting, hopefully looks better in game.

Broken Sword+ Dragon Age= Broken Age and it exp pack Sword Dragon!

Kiiding aside i don't like this look/style. I just hope animations are good at least so it won't be more "weird"er then this for characters. Background looks nice though if they are all like this.

 

[ghostdog]

I'm not a big fan of the style either, but the good thing I've seen from the documentary videos is that they've given the game a painting-like texture and that looks pretty nice.

I'm sorry to post a link to such a shitty site, but if anyone wants to see some in-game stuff they should check the link below:

[Jaesun]

Interesting.

 

[Crooked Bee]

That actually looks better than I expected.

 

[kaizoku]

It actually looks pleasing to the eye

I wonder why they didn't post it as a minor KS update.


The name kind of sucks. The "Age" really is reminiscent of Dragon Age :-|
Still in the same scope, Broken Time would have been better.

 

[JarlFrank]

Why did I read the title as Broken Age

Oh wait it actually is Broken Age, the thread title just has a typo, heh.

 

[Jaesun]

Jaesun cannot into R's apparently.....

 

[Cyberarmy]

Here, have a teaser (art is mainly fantastic but i'm not liking character models still...)

 

[Zed]

Fuck, it looks pretty shitty.
I hate the characters. They looks like ass.
Also they could at least have put one or two jokes in the teaser? I played Grim Fandango for just ~15 minutes a couple of days ago and almost fell off my chair chuckling and snorting. This looks about as funny as a 90's sunday morning eastern-european import cartoon about HIV prevention.

The game lacks a theme. Artstyle looks community college hipster bullshitty. And no humor present, so far.
Eughghgrgh.

 

[Diablo169]

Wow that art style is awful, so glad I didnt back this.

 

[Jarpie]

That looks even worse than I anticipated...it looks like some horrible flash-game for fucks sake...the animations are just utterly horrible and they paid for them? wtf man, wtf!

Have to agree on all points, unfortunately.

[Diablo169]

I suppose I did sound like a graphics whore when I said that. I just look at Tim Schafer's previous stuff and it had so much more charm visually then this garbage. I would rather they had done something like the HD re-releases of Monkey Island 1 & 2.

I think lots of people complained about the graphical style in those too, though.

 

[J_C]

I've watched the trailer and i think it is gorgeous. And it looks better in motion than in a still shot. I have my reservations about the character modell, but it is not shitty at all.

Also, it was a teaser, i don't think they needed jokes in that.
