Wadjet Eye Primordia - A Point and Click Adventure - Now Available

For a moment I thought these quotes were real. We have witnessed here formerly good devs revealing they were hacks all along, or going crazy.

More seriously, these pics of HD Horatio looked like they were straight out of a Primordia remake.

 

[RRRrrr]

I am 100% sure the robot world in the newest Rick and Morty episode (S06E04) is a Primordia reference. Check it out, MRY.


EDIT:
Here is a screenshot from the show:

That’s cool! My guess is they were drawing from similar root inspirations.

It's a bit further than "drawing from similar root inspirations", though. I'm still not sure it's not directly stolen artwork.

The root inspirations do not look exactly like Primordia.

 

[MRY]

It’s definitely not directly stolen. We don’t have any scene exactly like that. At worst it’s inspired by Primordia rather than a common source.

As much as I adore Primordia, it didn't really invent the whole brown, post-apocalyptic junkyard world vibe

One of the games in the "we have demos now! Celebrate, citizen!" Steam event has a game whose protagonist is vaguely reminiscent of Horatio. Perhaps it was his first incarnation?

 

[MRY]

Pretty common look.

Pretty common look.

*glances at each protagonist's design*
Siblings separated at birth?

 

[MRY]

It would be cool if we inspired the design. But I remember once finding a Primordia fanart of Horatio and the source (Google Images of Pinterest) then recommended similar images and there was an infinitude of them.

 

[MRY]

Yeah, Pinterest:

Perhaps Wakfu and its villain Nox was also an inspiration, and it predates Primordia.

Primordia has turned 10.

Thanks for the support over the years.

 

[Taluntain]

Good time for a replay.

Is the HD release still being worked on?

 

[MRY]

Vic sometimes talks about it, but I doubt it. It’s actually a ton of work to do a good high res remake because lots of problems papered over by low resolution (janky animations, scaling/perspective problem, lack of genuine interactions between characters and objects) suddenly become super apparent. It would be weird to do a high res graphic upgrade without also upgrading the audio, but here there’s a similar issue—some VO isn’t clean even in raw form but that gets masked by lo-fi.

Plus we’re all super busy with Fallen Gods, Hibernaculum, and Carbonflesh.

 

[A horse of course]

Just pay some Indians to feed it all through an AI upscaler, that's what the big boys do.

Well thanks for responding! Looking forward to the other projects.

10 years? Gone in the blink of a kidney for me. Wow... still one of my favorites from the last decade.

 

[bertram_tung]

Glad to hear an HD release has been confirmed, looking forward to it.

MRY care to tell us more about this?
