As the IGF approaches, I have a few updates to relate about A Slow Year. First, expect to see a number of interviews with me about the game emerging over the next two weeks. The first is on Rock Paper Shotgun, and I'll report back when the others drop. My favorite line from the RPS piece, "I hope the game makes the Atari seem beautiful."
Next, I've added screenshots and a video trailer for the game, which I'll also reproduce here. These should start to give a better sense of what the title looks and feels like.
The images at top show the game in idle states, in the middle in active states, and at the bottom running on an Atari and CRT television.
Otherwise, I'm going nuts trying to get everything I want to finish done before GDC. The Atari game is done, and I'm beginning to fashion cartridges, but work remains on the limited edition packaging (which I promise will be awesome) and on the PC/Mac builds.
