Though we didn’t see a trailer, we did get a look at the team working on modeling a dog. A New Project from the Creators of Kentucky Route ZeroĬardboard Computer made an appearance at the showcase to reveal that following their near-decade-long work on Kentucky Route Zero, the studio is now working on a brand new project. It’s out on August 4 for iOS, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Hindsight is a story-focused game going through a woman’s life, from birth to present day, where physical objects can become literal windows into the past. We are.From the creator of the elegant tree cultivation puzzler Prune, Hindsight got a brand new trailer today with a release date for the first time. “ we’re leaning more towards a little more accessible, for sure. We still ask a lot of the player,” Preston assured Kotaku. “I don’t think it’s going to be an easy game. And, of course, there are those massive creatures you may have seen in the trailers: a floating centipede encased in stone, an arachnid with five seriously unsettling eyes. Some spots in the game have “weird gravity,” per Preston. That means having deft control over cameras, gauging depth perception of jumps, maintaining situational awareness as vivid vistas whiz by at blistering speed, and so on. Solar Ash, after all, is a high-velocity 3D platformer. Much of the shift is necessitated by design. Though Solar Ash will indeed be more accessible, it’ll still pose somewhat of a challenge. But fans of Hyper Light Drifter’s baked-in relentlessness should still find something to like. But as the iterative development process continued, Heart Machine dropped the “ Kingdom” to better reflect the game’s current state, something Preston described as “not a light decision.” Trailers, interviews, marketing materials, and even registered web pages from the time indicate a commitment to Solar Ash Kingdom as the final name. In 2019, the game even sported a different name, initially announced as Solar Ash Kingdom. You might recognise Solar Ash, seeing as it has been paraded around the PR block a bit. “We are leaning a little more toward leniency, ultimately.”
“It’s more about the feeling and the spectacle and less about the challenge this time around,” Alx Preston, Solar Ash’s creative director, told Kotaku over a Zoom call last week. So you might be pleased to hear that the studio’s sophomore effort, Solar Ash, a 3D platformer planned for the fall, won’t be quite so punishing.
Heart Machine’s top-down action RPG was a bona fide gauntlet designed to run you through the wringer (a lot) before you acclimated to its resolutely unforgiving peculiarities. If you played Hyper Light Drifter, you got your arse kicked by Hyper Light Drifter.
