Capucine is an exploration / adventure game, formulated as a tale and based on shadow and light opposition.
This game takes place in a fantastic universe where everything is dead. The player controls a child who holds a "capucine". This flower enables her to survive in this desolated world.
Capucine was recently announced, but the first images have already appeared on the net. Check the trailers, screenshots and artwork out.
Is this long-awaited sequel to the ever popular Espresso and much-adored Mocha Latte?
Its not an official game.
its made by 18 french students.
Considering this fact i think the game looks very good, aside from some texturing mapping, and schoppy animations.
they really did a great job, to bad developers arnt trying to make art like games.
edit: From a dutch website; "is dit ook het werk van achttien studenten aan een game ontwerpers-opleiding in Frankrijk"
"this is the work of 18 students who are currently doing gamedesign as their education, in france"
didn't know that little tid bit ^^
another reason why Wii is a good console. Easy production of games and a great way for indie devs or students for that matter to explore what game design is all about. Cuz we all know 360 and PS3 are really expensive to make games for.
you must be smoking something.. this looks worse than a xbox/ps2 game. whoever thinks this "looks good" is beyond me. The girl looks she has 6 polygons on her whole body.
This is ridiculous.
Why is graphics always most important? I have much respect for this developing team that is trying to create something very original. Besides, this game has a very special ambiance. I'm looking forward to see more of this game.
Sounds kind of cool. And with a 'very unique art style,' who cares about photo-realistic graphics!
From the website:
Capucine is based on four fundamental principles:
Give life rather than take it.
A unique gameplay element: the beam of light.
Build your own path.
The player creates his own enemies.
put that in your FPS and smoke it!
Looks simplistic, interesting and, uh, ugly. But hey, good to see another adventure game being made.
A lot of new IP's out there. Kind of a nice feeling
