Wow... VERY impressive!  Could almost have been the intro from a Deep Silver game.

Any chance you could throw this up on Youtube of Vimeo sometime?  Can't embed the video from Facebook, I'd like to feature your trailer on my blog.

Music is really good and the atmosphere of the trailer/intro is very enjoyable as well. Strangely though the art changes in style in almost each scene and the camera shakes in places for no reason. But yeah, it's wip, so I'm still looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
The impossible often has a kind of integrity which the merely improbable lacks.

Yes there's 2 people working on the 3D design which could explain the changes - Micamic, and myself. I'm actually rather happy with the final render. I think Micamic said it was rendered with the 3D software's own renderer. I reckon otherwise we'd have been waiting months with all the water animations and lighting.

There's no solid plans on a demo release BUT I am toying with the idea of releasing this in Chapters, ala TellTale Games. If this is the case, I doubt I'll release a playable demo.

It's been a while since the last update.

There's been a lot of changes to the game, especially the main character, Peter, as you can see from the promotional pictures below.

Also, the 720p HD aspect has been dropped in favour of good old 640x480-style as it was proving a problem when it was coming to porting. So far, I'm very happy with how it's all coming together.

There's a also a new inventory system that's been created which can be seen at the very bottom.

I've been plowing through now and it's really making progress. I may release a playable short demo in the next week or so.
