Shovel Knight Composer Jake Kaufman Is Creating A VR Rock Opera
Jake Kaufman and Jessie Seely’s Nuren Kickstarter campaign has been funded. Working under the name CSP Industries, Kaufman and Seely have gathered together 3D and 2D artists from inside and outside the game industry to help populate Nuren’s different spaces. When completed, the project will play like an interactive series of music videos, each with its own unique visuals.
Kaufman is best known for his work on Shovel Knight and Ducktales Remastered, while Seely provided vocals for Double Dragon Neon’s Neon Jungle track and voiced Linda Lash. Check out the video below to see them explain the project.
A release date has not been announced for Nuren, and CSP Industries cites a lack of compatibility with Unreal Engine 4 as a major hurdle for the VR experience when porting to other VR capable platforms. You can check out more details about Nuren on its Kickstarter page.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
