ATC 1982 of 2Old2Play has interviewed the developers of the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade/PlayStation Network/PC puzzler Flock!, which involves UFOs and … sheep.
Excerpt: "The visual style is really important to us. Once we hit on the visual style for Flock! and started to build the game around that, we knew it was what we wanted. We hope that the games we make use the art style to feed into the gameplay, and vice-versa. It's important to us too that the game really grabs the player at first glance – and one of the ways to do that is to ensure you stand out visually from the crowd. Also one of the most fun things about developing Flock! was that it wasn't realistic, and anything was possible due to the frivolous nature of the art style."
A new Flock trailer highlights the game's charming system and features more gameplay footage of this casual bird-collecting sandbox.
