This is to let everyone who hasn't seen the news on audiogames.net know about a kickstarter funding campaign for an upcoming audio rpg, Three monkeys, by Inccus games.
I'll say I chatted to one of the devs myself back in 2013 when a little info was first given out about the game, and I was extremely impressed with their dedication, and knolidge of all aspects of game design from sound design to the engin. The game is planned to be one where you play a character called Tobar in a world where the sun has been torn out of the sky by an evil curse. The three monkeys referd to is the concept from eastern philosophy emboddied in a statue of three monkeys, hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evi, though how this ties into the game yet we don't know. Either way this should show that already the game has a detailed world and story, and as I said I was extremely impressed by the professional standard of the devs. You can find the kickstarter page here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1950090942/three-monkeys-part-1-into-the-abyss And if you'd prefer to use paypal to pledge money, you can do that here: http://enterbyzantia.com/ If the developer's don't get the amount of money pledged for Kickstarter, they'll still attempt to make the game happen, but "attempt" is the operative word, so for anyone who wants a really complex and detailed audio rpg by some distinctly talented devs, now it's time to put your money where your mouth is. Here's what the developers said about the game: three monkeys is a fantasy rpg that looks to push the boundaries of what can be achieved with audio in games. The game puts players in the shoes of Tobar: a blind hero who embarks on a journey through a dark, cursed land, where the sun has been ripped out the sky. While audio games in themselves are not new, they tend to rely on the same tactics. Most - knowing they have the player deprived of their primary sense - use scare tactics, throwing the player into an experience defined by horror and scare-tactics. Three Monkeys looks instead to empower the player, using mechanics that allow you to be pro-active; to attack, to make the first move. The most powerful graphics cards you have at your disposal is your brain, and we want you to create the world of Byzantia for yourself. Just like you'd conjour up the imagery to accompany a good book, we want you to bring our world to life, too. We'll help you along the way, of course. Key Features: - Audio adventure / Fantasy RPG for PC - Fully playable without any visual input; whether you're visually impaired or not. Works on all headphones - Hunt, fight and solve puzzles, all by using your ears. - Zonal, open world environments; explore Byzantia at your leisure - Rich world and memorable characters - Built in Unity -- We'll be sharing more about the game soon, but if you have any questions in the meantime, ask away! I'd also like to direct you to the Byzantia Tavern , which is the official forum for Three Monkeys. If you have discussions to raise about the game, that's the best place to do it :) Thanks for reaching! Byzantia tavern is here: http://enterbyzantia.com/tavern/ Dark. There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
