Sirenum Digital was looking to raise just over $200,000 for The Lost Pisces, a game that used the story of The Little Mermaid for its source material, and was working to tackle some innovative technology in the area of AI systems."
Sirenum has released a new set of screenshots for its upcoming Unreal Engine 4-powered game that is inspired by Shadow of Colossus, The Lost Pisces.
I don't think this game has been confirmed for PS4 yet. Their website still says Xbox One and PC, although I can't imagine why it wouldn't come later to it.
But on topic, woww it looks beautiful!
OnlySP: Last year, the Milwaukee-based game studio Sirenum Digital launched a Kickstarter for their game the Lost Pisces. This re-imagining of the Little Mermaid touted rich imagery in a post-apocalyptic setting. The gameplay featured compatibility with the Kinect for XBox One.
Unfortunately, the Kickstarter failed to reach its ambitious goal of $204,000. In my interview with studio founder Daniel Rutkowski, he described running the Kickstarter campaign as “interesting” and the Kinect compatibility as a “double-edged sword.”
The game looks interesting. Shadow Of The Colossus meets Tower Defense looks like a very neat idea.
Awesome interview.
They launched a crowd funding campaign without any real direction or gameplay.I'm not surprised the team failed to meet their goals on kickstarter.most thought it would be some Kinect based game.
OnlySP: Following the failure of Sirenum Digital’s Kickstarter campaign for The Lost Pisces, the development team set out to re-imagine the game. The results…well, you can see them for yourself.
I learned about this game recently. Its like a cyberpunk retelling of the original The Little Mermaid story (not the Disney one).
Yup! It's a shame their Kickstarter failed in some ways because they were going to do some really neat stuff with the Kinect in terms of how the AI interacts with players.
