The production of a videogame is a process that is often misunderstood. Film and television have become so ingrained into society that we can watch ‘making-of’ videos with full size sets and rigging, actors repeating scenes over-and-over and computer wizardry in action for special effects and yet still be swept up in the will to suspend disbelief for hours at a time. Videogames aren’t so transparent. We might occasionally get a behind-the-scenes look at an Assassin’s Creed motion-capture set or commentary from the voice actors of a new Mass Effect space opera, but these are the elite. More often than not the more interesting stories come from those titles which you may not think twice about.
Our writer, Deena, had to say this to the game:
"Perils of Man is definitely worth the time and money and I would highly suggest this to you or to any of my friends. As an Indie game, I think they did an amazing job and I would definitely be looking forward to a sequel if they have one in mind."
Former boutique animation team plunges into the videogames industry with IF Games, a new studio with a passion for storytelling and cinematic appeal, and joins hands with ex-LucasArts designer Bill Tiller to develop their debut title Perils of Man. A serialised adventure videogame, Perils of Man: Episode 1 will be released on iPad in October this year.
