The New York Times reports that "Imagination Is the Only Escape", an upcoming Holocaust-themed DS game developed by 21-year-old British Luc Bernard, will not be distributed within the United States.
The game casts players in the role of a young boy in eastern France during the German occupation who seeks escape from real-life horror through a fantasy world. The game is darkly illustrated and full of gruesome historical facts -- including how the Nazis tortured children.
Mr. Bernard, whose mother is Jewish, said in a telephone interview that his Holocaust game was meant to be educational, and there will be no on-screen violence in this product.
Gamezebo - "For decades, video games have provided players an escape from the challenges and tragedies of the real world. Whether we’re searching for a reprieve from everyday stressors or a way to live out unattainable fantasy goals, games have filled that need."
With the upcoming launch of WiiWare in North America and Europe, the floodgates have been opened for indie developers. One such developer is 21-year-old Luc Bernard. In fact, he claims to be "indier than indie", due to his limited project budget. But what he lacks in money, he makes up in ambition and imagination which makes his projects the perfect fit for WiiWare. Read on for an exclusive interview with the man himself.
" I liked the Xbox Live Arcade because of HD, but Eternity’s Child still looks as good on the Wii. "
Therefor I WANT MORE 2d GAMES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Radio Ninty recently sat down with Luc Bernard, the developer behind the upcoming WiiWare title Eternity's Child, and "Holocaust DS" - Imagination Is The Only Escape.
His WiiWare title sounds like it's pretty neat and good that he called up the Holocaust survior to explain what the game really is. Nothing like the news to have wrong accountings of games again. Nintendo even called the publisher and they explained what it really is about and according to this even said why not make a Wii game as well. lol good stuff
This is bullsh1t, it's probably some neocons' and other douches' fault.
Well, theres a first for everything.
That's too bad
I'd like to play a WWII game that isn't another FPS
only on DS could a game made by a non gamer possibly be any good
Good news.
