Bear Go Home Gameplay

[ChristopherIsaacs]

Can you be more specific?

[TehEefan]

Whoever made this video is rubbish. No offence. But the game looks quite good. Again what the hell is wrong with this video!?

[ChristopherIsaacs]

@TehEefan Can you be more specific?

[TehEefan]

@ChristopherIsaacs The music is creepy. I didn't know whether the game was meant to be creepy or not. Then at one point you think it stops and there is silence for a few seconds. I thought the video was going to go on in silence because that silence was quite dragged out. Also the font used in the video was a terrible choice because it is a common font and made it look cheaper. And using it over a pink background is simple but didn't fit with the much better art direction in the game.

[ChristopherIsaacs]

@TehEefan Cool, cheers for the detail. Hard to disagree with the comments re: the title cards. We made this video towards the end of a competition (Dare to be Digital) and where under a big time crunch and we didn't have much time as we hoped to spend on it.

The flash cards differ significantly from the rest of the scenes as they are in game captures. As to the scary/bizarre music, that was by design :)

Cheers for the feedback,

Chris.

Oh? you are one of the makers? Just got the game installed and had to check out how to control it :P  but looks fun.

[Psymonsdream]

[SawyerSauce]

Iam sorry, but you guys should have won that BAFTA, if its any consolation, I think you were robbed.

Good work in the future, you guys deserve it.

[digitalmanifestatio]

[ChristopherIsaacs]

Check out my profile, we have some other gameplay vids with differnt music :P

[psychiatricoder]

Very nice! I enjoyed watching the video. Keep up the good work.

The art style reminds me of the end credits from A Series of Unfortunate Events, especially that big black mouth-hand thing.

Ooh, it's so... Locorocoish

[ChristopherIsaacs]

Hey, thanks...I think! Yeah we often get the "Locoroco" comparison, both for art style and game play, which we take a huge compliment, in that there isn't much else out there to compare us against!

[ChristopherIsaacs]

Where our style differs is that we use inspiration from traditional Chinese calligraphy, ink paintings for the environment (the swirls, details and overall look and feel). For our enemies inspiration was drawn from Chinese shadow puppetry and paper cards (the 2D look). The colour palette was selected to make a visually striking game, something fun and interesting to look at.

[ChristopherIsaacs]

For game play, all the environment and terrain is rigid and it is just our Bear that is soft and bouncy. I would say the game play is more comparable to Kirby, but we grew up on Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog(back in the 8-bit days).

[LeChatAuSoleil]

cant wait to play that game !! looks awesome !!!

[DudeParallel]

That game is sweeeet!

It reminds me of Locoroco's style, although with this there is more direct control.

lol, love the music too.

Wish i could be at Protoplay to have a shot.
