Awesome art direction :D

tei

ummm...what?

HelmetRule

Just from that bit makes me want it.

That Girl Hates You

Totally digging the art direction of this game. Definitely looking forward to seeing more.

D-Lish

OMG there's sex in this game! Didn't you see those party hats making out to see a baby party hat?
THESE THINGS CAN MULTIPLY IN SECONDS AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

goldwings

@collusioned: what is that? is that a stick?! whats a stick doing up your ass.

Terroris

@Pornosaur:

i laughed. thank you for that.

pagancollective

@Atheist Jew: Thanks for the link.

RandalGraves

@sisedi: That's because they give awards to talent not popularity.

ostartero

Seems like video game art.

TheInquisitor

did they just mate and pop out a child?

Excellent O.S.T., it loses points for looking like it should be on newgrounds.

Fyren

Looks like a swede made up his own version of Yoshi's Island with a set of 256 berol colored pencils. I'm into that sort of thing.

Pornosaur

This is probably the first game i've seen that clearly defines "games as art". There are heaps of games with great art (wow where to start), but i don't think anybody viewing this would dispute it's inherent "artsy-ness" or that it is in fact a game.

super_miraculo

@Atheist Jew: Great link man! I'm enjoying and downloading other albums as we speak.

Thanks :)

k_dash

I see some very creative things being done. I also see a very boring or repetitive game.

mowh

Don't know what it is, but I'll take 3.

Temperature

The hand-drawn stuff is always full of awesome...but it's almost becoming cliche' don't you think?

Almost.

boopadoo

The art style is intriguing, but the trailer doesn't say much about gameplay, imo. A little clarification would be nice.

PlayerX

Trippy. Could be interesting.

Legendary GIR

Hmm, I think I dig the idea, although it;s a bit hard to tell this early. That said, I kind of hate party hats ever since I miscounted to lose the red PS3.

tasty%20crabcakes.">coffeeguy

Looks interesting... something to do with physics it seems. And kissing. And poping up babies. And drugs... tons of them.

Bokusatsu_Tenshi

It certainly looks and sounds amazing, but what are we actually supposed to do in the game?

Still, my interest, as they say, is piqued.

mcderek3000

It's interesting that when a game is designed so self-consciously, it pulls you away from the fact it is a game with more effect and impetus than so many "immersing worlds".

It will be interesting to see how it balances challenge against its dream-like state.

SorenKier

@unmarkedone: :D LOL!

I keep wanting to sing "I found my thrill... on blueberry hill..."

It looks like a quirky and fun little game. :)

hikergirl

That left me nothing but confused. How am I supposed to be excited about a game when I can't even imagine how the game will play? Oh, I forgot, when you're an indie dev you can show pretty much anything remotely resembling a game, add a tiny smidgen of stylization, and you've created art. Bravo Blueberry Garden.

collusioned

That thing rips Amelie just a bit....

Virgil Tibbs

So thats how babies are made.

Looks like fun count me in.

@meandering_drivel: You're welcome!
@Lixie: You're welcome!
@epherlite: You're welcome!
@dead_red_eyes: You're welcome!
@MajorMcMuffin: You're welcome!

@dead_red_eyes: It's not like I knew about the guy and his music before the clip was posted. There's a link off the game dev's blog to the album. :D

Atheist Jew

It looks like a good game to relax... ;-)

goliathvv

@Atheist Jew: Yay, the music was great. That clip was utterly bemusing though. Interesting at the same time, I'm keeping an eye on this one.

MajorMcMuffin

@Atheist Jew:

BTW, how did you find out about him?

dead_red_eyes

@Atheist Jew:

Thanks for the link!!!

@epherlite:

Definitely sounds like Yann Tiersen's stuff.

dead_red_eyes

That was really neat. I too love the direction that games are going. There seems to be a real avante garde uprising in the last couple of years. I think it's mainly due to the surge of downloadable games. Small developers can throw their hat into the ring with really wonderful looking stuff. Here's hoping the game is as fun as the visuals.

Quilt

That's it, I'm gonna go make a game about random things strung together and call it a work of art.

shazmuscle

That was pretty freaking incredible

grizzlywilliam

That was oddly relaxing.

BambooCactus

I laughed when the baby appeared after a round of kissing. Still have no idea what this is about, though.

What's with the new video player format?

Aethyr: Brawl. Add me.

The art style is so cute, reminds me a lot of some of the character-themed stationary that I impulsively buy and seldom use. Very charming.

@Atheist Jew: Thank you very much for the link! Reminded me a lot of some of Yann Tiersen's stuff.

epherlite

@gamadaya: Realistic chemsitry, eh? So when stuff spills on the floor it actually has chemical properties, molarity, etc and can then react with other things that spill uponst it or if it's a corrosive solution it can start eating away at the set pieces...interesting.

sisedi

If the game keeps that music in it then that is almost reason enough for me to buy it.

greatinsight

@sisedi:
Actually, I think they're creating a new mold. The graphics of this game don't seem that original to me. I'm more excited about how it seems to have mixed a physics engine with plant growth. BTW, the first developer to create an engine that incorporates realistic physics and chemistry will be like a god to me.

gamadaya

@Atheist Jew: Shalom, you're a mench!

Lixie

@Atheist Jew: thanks for the link

meandering_drivel

I'm amazed at how that preview has piqued my interest more than any game in recent history. controllable art. incredible

Hyperlite

If anyone else enjoyed the music as much as I did, it's here:

[www.jamendo.com]

as a free download. The artist goes by daduk.

Atheist Jew

@sisedi: I was reminded the same way, hehe.

Great little preview nonetheless.

GordieHoweHatTrick: Roll Up The Rim Free Car #0

Just because something breaks the mold doesn't necessarily make it a good game, but its important to be constantly pushing those boundaries. You aren't going to do something thats both innovative and commercially successful the first time around, it takes a lot of trial and error thats why companies tend to just rehash what has proved successful, but if you never try for something new then eventually everything becomes stagnant. From the looks of it this game could prove very interesting, and I'd like to give it a try.

pixelacious

I love the direction that games are going...

wild_world_girl

Me likes the music. Me no likey the Blueberrys. They not blue!

Lixie

So that's how baby party hats are made. I always wanted to know but was too afraid to ask.

unmarkedone

I love what appears to be the creatures mating.

Actaeus

Party hats! Are there 16 of them?

Evil Tortie's Mom

@Nisori: ;)

sisedi

@sisedi: That made me "lol".

Thanks for pointing our attention to this neat little game, Maggie.

Nisori

More and more independent developers are "breaking" the mold by making games look like short animated films that no one sees but yet somehow manage to get nominated at the Oscars which no body watches.

sisedi

crack?

Dogysamich

It's obviously a game that's got alot to do with Blueberries...
