Luc Bernard, the man behind DS title Imagination is the Only Escape, has defended his right to explore the issue of the Holocaust in his game.
Speaking exclusively to Eurogamer, he said his motives are to pass on knowledge. "It's to educate children about awareness and racism... There won't be any violent scenes, the bottom screen just displays the reality of what happened - you can find that information in books," Bernard stated.
"I hate World War II shooters. I think they are sick and disgusting. The war is not a game," he continued. "That is why I did this title, to show kids what really happened during the war."
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
