"An incredible thing happened last night. I had an amazing gaming experience the like of which I have never experienced before. I've been playing games for over three decades, which is officially a long time, so any new experience is not an insignificant achievement. And this particular thing that happened blew my mind."
The composer behind Journey, Austin Wintory, recently had a chance to revisit the classic game, just in time for its tenth anniversary.
My fav indie game ever, played this on ps4 and ps5. Too bad it does not have a plat trophy.
Jenova Chen told us about the development of the game.
Today, veteran game developers with experience on games like Journey, Skyrim, Spider-Man, Edith Finch, Ratchet & Clank and more, have come together to announce a brand new game studio, Gardens.
Concept artist has a very distinct style and if they can translate that into the game well this studio will be making some visually stunning games.
I'm intensely excited for Journey. Being a big supporter of Thatgamecompany.
It's great to emphasize the point that 'innovation' doesn't require a massive surge of technology or funding, but instead dedicating time and effort to fully develop a simple concept. I'm not saying it's an easy thing to do, but the end result is seamless, intuitive, and just works. I'm mostly talking about going through the journey with an anonymous partner, and developing a bond through a physical and movement based language. It sounds wonderful.
Can't wait to experience it myself. And I hope for more games like this. Not big budget, but simple care and good design.
" I like playing games on my own and actively avoid online interactions with other gamers. Especially strangers. It's just not something I enjoy."
He is my people :). This game looks pretty damn interesting though. Can'y believe it's taken so long to finally arrive.
I want to play it. I MUST play it. I hope they continue making amazing games in the future.
Looks good and good article. I've still got no idea what to expect from this game and I'm still looking forward to it!
Intriguing...
