The lights are on
Indie Developer Filthy Grip released a new trailer for their flagship title Feist today. If you haven’t heard of Fiest, you’re not alone. The game first made news back in 2008 after entering the Unity Awards competition, winning Best Overall Game and Best Visual Design. The title later went on to score a nomination for the Excellence in Visual Arts award in the Independent Games Festival. We previewed Feist in our Indie Week shortly after. Feist hasn’t been in the news much since then, but we’ve been keeping an eye on it regardless. Gameplay mechanics are still enigmatic, but the visuals are more than enough to keep us interested. Thick black shapes dominate in Feist, contrasted by super-saturated colors in the background. Unfolding in high mountains and thick forests, the result is something that resembles an eternal twilight. The player controls a ball of fuzz that could be an animal of sorts, complete with human-like appendages and a little black trail that mirror's its movements. Feist appears to have its roots in the puzzle and platform genres, with foes taking the form of beasts and sentient vegetation – all disturbing with their oddly white eyes and Cheshire grins.
Feist doesn’t yet have a release date, but is in development for both PC and Mac. We will keep you up to date as soon as more information becomes available. Until then, check out the official site for two previously released trailers and a handful of screens
That looks really cool.
Finally, a new trailer! I've been following this game for a while now, looking forward to it when it finally releases :-)
for some reason this looks amazing and i have high hopes for it!
It looks intresting, but how do you stop the monsters from hurting you?I would like to know more about that before i buy it, but it still caught my intrest.
Very simple and soothing trailer. Those owlbear things are ruthless!
That looks cute. I must download this
Amazing. Those enemies look terrifying.
Okay.. what I got from it, other than it looking incredible, visually, is it's basically a platformer where the enemies actively chase you and impede your progress through the level. This game could be *so* frustrating..
Mac FTW!
I have never heard of this game before... but it looks beautiful.
Ok, I'm in love with the atmosphere. The b'owls (from Cinco!) are great. I'm on board.
That looks tight! I wish it'd come out for consoles but i'll still get it.
dude those were some creepy racoon bear things
Never heard of this game but it looks really cool. I just love the visual design! The shadow dude looks like a ninja.
hmmmm. I'm intrigued.
amazing, great use of visuals, have to get this when i comes out.
Kinda like Flower in terms of simplicity. Looks soothing.
I guess steam will be carrying this one, then?
The art makes me think of a Miyazaki film for some reason.
This looks like the kind of game that I'd enjoy.
...I'm going to have to get my hands on it once it's released. :]
