Once Upon a Time in Japan

[Stupot]

This game has already been mentioned briefly by Redwall here:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=29793.0...
...but I'm still a bit hazy on the rules of digging up old threads.

Anyway.  Is anyone else really looking forward to this game?... It has been in development for ages and is supposedly the first in a trilogy.  The screens look beautiful and the characters have a wonderful (almost Broken-Sword-esque) charm to them.

Seeing as though I'll (hopefully) be studying Japanese at uni by the end of this year - which will no doubt include a fair chunk of Japanese history as well as the language - this game is right up my street.

There is an interview with the development team here:

...with some screenshots and character portraits thrown in the mix.

The team's website http://www.abborado.com/ has all the same pictures and is a gorgeous website to have a look at if you haven't already.

There doesn't seem to be a release date as such.  Just "2008" is all I can find...

Beautiful shots.  I hope it comes out soon.

Did anyone else notice that it is being made with the Wintermute engine? I found a link from the Wintermute website...
