Nintendo Enthusiast had the chance to talk with Alexis Bacot, the founder and CEO of Area Effect, the studio behind the upcoming indie game Izle.
Izle is one of those ambitious indie games that's in development, being a 3D procedural action-adventure RPG where the player needs to recreate the world of Light. Each island created is randomly generated, where each of them can have dungeons, mountains and castles. Your work won't be just protect those islands, but also explore them.
KrisWB from This is Xbox writes "Where has the time gone? Issue #8 of the TiX crowdfunding spotlight is here. This week’s edition (written while listening to this week’s ThisisXbox Podcast) focuses on two unique titles; IZLE an action-adventure RPG from Area Effect and HUSH a challenging action-adventure video game about our childhood fears from London-based Game Studio 78. First, it’s time to catch up on the projects we’ve been following."
Zack Keosaian writes: "Now that the developers at Area Effect have released a playable demo, we finally get a hands-on look at what Izle is all about. In a few words, Izle gives players the power to create randomly generated worlds, then have their own RPG adventures in them. The random generation of content within the floating islands assures that each adventure has unexpected twists and turns, placing enemies in random spots as opposed to letting the player place them. With so many options available, this RPG/simulation hybrid makes for a gameplay style with immense depth."
