No matter’s coming from Cardboard Pc, it’ll be well worth the wait

Kentucky Route Zero might be in my high 5 favourite video games of all time. The sport’s entire really feel, its material, the method that went into making it — I’m fascinated by the entire thing, which is why I’m so thrilled to get completely any information from the event group behind it, in any other case often called Cardboard Pc. Whereas it hasn’t been all that lengthy for the reason that launch of Kentucky Route Zero‘s remaining act again in 2020, the group has been laborious at work on their new mission, as they confirmed through the Annapurna Interactive Showcase.

Whereas we now have nearly no details about what sort of sport will probably be, the place will probably be set, any story factors, and so on., we did get a short have a look at Cardboard Pc’s new workflow, and what little we noticed already has me giddy to study extra. Builders Jake Elliot, Tamas Kemenczy, and Ben Babbitt confirmed off their new animation software program, which utilized some sort of face-mapping tech rigged as much as a personality mannequin.

They acknowledged that that is the primary mission the place they are going to be focusing extra on efficiency, and whereas Kentucky Route Zero was a reasonably sluggish, static sport, this new mission might be extra “full of life” with fully-animated characters. The story will even be extra upbeat this time, they stated after reminding themselves that whereas Kentucky Route Zero had comedic moments, it was finally a tragedy. Apparently they began engaged on the brand new sport immediately after Kentucky Route Zero wrapped up, they usually’ve had this concept kicking round for so long as their debut title.

I’m thrilled to even get an replace, and might be awaiting any extra with bated breath. Though the main points are sparse proper now, Cardboard Pc is a kind of builders that I’ve religion will ship one thing wonderful each time.
