A few people complained about the lack of animation in our alpha prototype video.

The main reason there wasn’t animation? Because we just hadn’t made it yet! :]

Today, Clemens started to break into animation and managed to get through a bunch of really nice looking WIPs done.

Clemens also busted out some concept art for more innocent civilians:
(some inspired by blog comments)

How many of these will make it to the game? That’s totally unknown at this point.

Meanwhile, Adam conjured up some more background graphics for the city. Later today we decided that we want to take the city’s look in a more futuristic direction, so the final look will likely be a sexy combination of old and new. (as if the new technology was built on top of older infrastructure) This’ll be a really cool way to give the city some implied backstory.

Futuristic? Oh, I guess that explains why the baby stroller and skateboard have rockets.
Heh, I find it funning that someone would put their baby around conbusting rocket fuel, but funny in a good way.

Its kind of scary to think what could happen if the robot stroller turned evil…

Yay, you’ve drafted some of my suggestions. They look great with the retro 50′s Americana Jetsonsish styling.

What about some different type of background on each level?
maybe a forbidden city based type:)
best wishes from Beijing China.
I love Aquaria by the way:)

I love the futuristic 60s look of it, this is definitely a game that I’ll look into when it comes out/when beta testing spots open up. I like what I’m seeing so far.

oh gosh, I love this low poly stuff!

Low poly implies there are polygons

Er… unless you’re talking about the environment art, in which case, you are correct, and I’m glad you like it.

Hello Alec,
May I know which program was used to create animations? If it is not a secret of course.
Regards,
David
