I wonder if they have development hardware yet...
"OK, first we need someone to complain about something trivial. Golden or S_B should do. Then we get someone to defend the game, like Bill or Mashiro. Finally add some Unclebob or Pro666 randomness and the thread should go to hell right away." -Pap64

I like the colors in the trailer.  I think what has turned away a lot of people is the textures, which are a bit lower resolution, but I feel like most, if not all of the colors make up for it.  In the trailer, if I'm remembering high school French class correctly, says "Once upon a time.'  Not exactly much there, just reinforcing the fairy-tale-ness of the game.

I think it's got great concept, and for me, since this is a small, new developer, I think the graphics fit the game well, and would rather the devs spend more time expanding on a working with concept and expanding gameplay than making sure there's enough polygons on the lily pads and trees.  Beyond that, I already thought that the colors were beautiful enough to make up for the lack of textures.

They are definitely a tad ahead of Nibris. The graphics may not be brilliant but at least they are showing something.

The point is to try and show off the concept to potential publishers...

I thought the point of a website was for the public and negotiations/demonstrations happen behind the scenes.

Sounds like the developer has no original ideas at all, should be as interesting as a Tom Clancy game.

Not in this case, no...

You have to GET the negotiation/demonstration opportunity first.

I'm interested in seeing how this one turns out.  It looks quite early.  The environments look pretty good, but the character model I'm sure is just a place holder.  Hopefully a decent-sized publisher will take notice and throw some resources behind the dev team.  I think this could potentially be a very good game for the Wii.

The return of the Giant Deku Tree confirmed in screen 8, he is alive! The trailer has definitely piqued my interest, but then so did the art for Sadness. I've got my fingers crossed that one day we'll see this bad boy on the Wii.
