I just found out about this game 5 minutes ago and I'm already salivating at the prospect of getting my hands on it.
Imagine creating all of the art assets for a game, from the character models to animations to all of the textures. Now imagine doing it with clay models. That is the task that the folks at the independent studio Tuna have taken on for the upcoming downloadable game Cletus Clay. But this isn't just a game about clay models. It's an action side-scroller starring the southern bumpkin Cletus (and his brother Emmet if you want to tackle the game with a friend) in a battle with aliens across 12 stages. The makers describe it as a, "wild and crazy, no-holds-barred, rootin' tootin' varmint shootin' side-scrolling platform brawler for home console."
Check out this video and pay close attention to the waterfall. Amazing no?
Is Cletus Clay a front-runner for Game of the Year 2009? Only time will tell but lets hope that it does well enough to merit a revival of both Clay Fighter and Redneck Rampage.
Hey! Thanks for the kind comments.
ReplyDeleteThe waterfall, like everything else, is being redone for the HD version. We showed the new code at GDC and will get a video up at some point soon.
If you'd ever like to know any more then just drop us a line.
Now I want a remake of clay fighters!
