KUROS IS HERE! - More beautiful fantasy art, and a connection with Glyph

One Day Ahead of Schedule:

KUROS IS HERE!

$9.99 for a limited time

Hi Everyone!

As you may now know, I have been one of the very few lucky people to be allowed a peek at Sandlot Games's new Hidden Object Adventure, KUROS. Here are more screens from the preview. Today, we highlight the Ancient Barrow, where you get your first taste of drawing glyphs.

Although SandLot Games says Kuros is related to their (also beautifully illustrated) Glyph 2 games only in name, drawing glyphs is just one of the ways that Kuros seems to be set in that world.

(Stay tuned to this Blog all this week for more screenshots and gorgeous art from KUROS!)

KUROS IS COMING - First Impressions of the Preview Version

In Three (3) Days -- KUROS WILL BE HERE.

Hi Everyone!

As you may now know, I have been one of the very few lucky people to be allowed a peek at Sandlot Games's new Hidden Object Adventure, KUROS. Here are some screens from the preview.

First impressions:
Full voice-overs for the main character! This totally adds to the immersion. (Plus the choice for the main character's voice is mature and with a hint of tough self-sufficiency. No hapless chick here. and yes, she has a tight leather outfit, but no gratuitous skin except for the fashionable exposed midriff.).

The Hidden Object portion follows in the best tradition of this sort of "adventure" game. Like the old classics King's Quest and newer games like Secret Missions: Mata Hari and the Kaiser's Submarines and Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Persian Carpet, you are not presented with screen after screen after screen of backdrops cluttered with rubbish often scaled inappropriately in tricky and unlikely places simply to test your powers of observation. Instead, you are tasked to find things to accomplish tasks and the local objects are plausibly placed.

Here are screens showing the very early task of getting your bag. You need to find what are initially unlikely objects, and you're rewarded by seeing how they are put together into an inventive tool!

Cool Minis - The Fantasy Art of Anima Tactics

Hi Everyone!

You may recall my blog post on the Anima RPG. Related to it is a tabletop miniatures tactical combat game, Anima Tactics, and you can view many of the miniatures at CoolMiniOrNot. Each mini is fully painted, and in the background is the artwork of for the character the miniature is meant to represent. Even if you don't like how the miniature turned out, you can still enjoy the beautiful anime-ish art.
(Incidentally, the Spanish site has a very nice flash on the title page.)

The Fantasy Art of Linda Ravenscroft

Hi Everyone!

As you know, my website presently showcases the fantasy art of computer games, so there's a lot of art out there that doesn't fit there at the moment. I can, however, introduce it to you on this blog.

Today, I'd like to introduce the art of Linda Ravenscroft. Unfortunately, her website (http://www.lindaravenscroft.com) appears to have disappeared as early as June 19th, 2009 and the link provided takes you to her MySpace page instead. You can also search for her on FaceBook -- she has her own profile, and what appears to be a third-party fan page.
Thank God for free sites like MySpace, Facebook, and Blogger!
