Shardlight

Got an email from Wadjet Eye about their latest game and it’s first trailer.
Looks like it could be a lot of fun..Apocalpse, plague, hunger death… You know all the fun stuff.
Cant wait for this to come out.
An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.
Roberta Williams
Well, knowing Wadget Eye’s standards, it will probably be another great game as per usual….
Love the setting and the tone.
Spring 2016 is indeed still far away….
i am hoping (demanding!) they will consider voice over for ALL the game, descriptions as well, since they started this way they can not just go below, as its the case with their last 2 releases (Technobabylon, and Golden Wake + The Samaritan Paradox as only releasing), hear me?!
.. it IS serious! and I am not gonna push meself again (and again, then get burned out) into playing Shardlight (this time) as i did with those latter mentioned above, doesn’t feel good at all seeing a good company go below their standards when they ONLY should go higher.
Yes, it looks great. Wadjet Eye keeping the high quality. Who is the developer of this one?

well, i get your ‘silent’ point, but isn’t releasing responsible of all of (my trivial concerns) this

Sorry, Advie, not sure what you’re saying but I was only asking who is making this one since Wadjet Eye is producing it.
About your complaints about the last games, could be true, but still have not played Technobabylon or Golden Wake so can’t really comment.
technobabylon is excellent, and certainly just because the description of a wall isnt voiced… does not hurt the game in any way. I dont think a voiced narration is a perfect fit for every game. Its much more important that all of the dialogue is voiced, and it is.
Hello,
Popping in to answer your questions: I’m the writer/designer and Ben Chandler is the artist, but this game is being developed in-house. Dave hired me as a full time designer last year after he published A Golden Wake, so this is my first project in that role.
And yes, all in-game text is voiced, with the option to turn subtitles on/off.

what i meant; is that you (i thought) suggesting that whom behind the not-fully-voiced business/game is the developer, Sorry Wilco, i might have been putting a word in your mouth, when you didnt mean it at all, only that your post came after mine made me think like this

Hi Grundislav,
Thanks for your volunteering reply, wish you and Wadjet Eyes the best of success to come.
That video instantly reminded me of both Technobabylon, Primordia and Dead Synchronicity, all in one.
I am now officially looking forward to spring - Now where did I leave that time-machine
You have to play the game, to find out why you are playing the game! - eXistenZ

As Francisco said it’s being developed entirely in-house, albeit not written by me. So while it’s not a “Dave Gilbert” game, it IS a “Wadjet Eye” game. Sorry if that’s confusing.

That just means you’re expanding, which is a very good thing. Means you’re successful!

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Rock Paper Shotgun’s Shardlight hands-on
“Far too often adventure games (and indeed any games) can spend much too long trying to force its exposition down your neck. LOOK AT OUR WORLD AND HOW IT’S DIFFERENT FROM YOURS! NO! LOOK MORE! KEEP ON LOOKING! Shardlight is a really rather splendid example of how to assume the player isn’t an idiot, and can pick up on entirely obvious themes without having them screamed. This is a post-bombs-falling world, in which an authoritarian and oligarchical governance called the Aristocrats has risen to take advantage of the chaos. You play Amy Wellard, a mechanic who is forced to take on “lottery jobs” to be in with a chance of winning vaccine from the government to treat a wildly spreading plague that’s infected her.”
To put it in simple words, noooice!
The game is coming out on 8 March. It is now available for pre-order. I’m really looking forward to this one. Technobabylon was one of my favourite games from last year, and Shardlight looks like it will live up to Wadjet Eye’s reputation for providing interesting stories, beautiful pixel art and solid gameplay.
A demo was released today, too: http://www.shardlight-game.com/demo

Good, short, 700+ mb “demo”. More like an interactive teaser, really. About 5 minutes of game play, and it looks awesome! I went ahead and pre-ordered!
Life is too short to drink bad wine…
