Adventure Gamers just
conducted an interview about a new game called
Earth - A New Beginning. We had run a
news item about it when it had the working title of
Project Climate Change.
I really like the sound of the game, primarily due to its premise, that of global warming. It's a unique adventure game topic and very relevant in this day and age. I think the adventure genre is a great place to showcase it by really focusing on the subject within a story/character driven game and perhaps making it accessible to many different kinds of people (who might otherwise be put off by the political firestorm around it). I think the graphics (hand drawn 2D backgrounds and characters) look stunning as well (
and I'm not a big graphics person ). Also, it has a lot of potential for interesting gameplay. I'm interested to hear what sort of puzzles/objectives they have in mind.
