I Got Dust and I Got Dusted

by on

What is Dust: An Elysian Tail? I'm not really quite sure, but it sure looks pretty.

Ok, this might be old news to some of you out there, but it's pretty fresh to me and I wanted to bring it to the surface it in case anyone else has missed it. So, with that being said, check out this video:
 
 

  
 
As little as I know about it, it looks like it's being submitted for Microsoft's Dream-Build-Play Challenge. If so, I hope this makes its way to XBL in the near future, even though furries with swords might not be my favorite thing in the world, this game certainly looks beautiful, much in the style of Odin's Sphere and Muramasa: The Demon Blade. You can find out more about the project from http://www.noogy.com, which also makes it look like an animated feature is in the works. I would love to know more, but for now, I've got to finish TANG!
 
Thanks to Mr. Gallup for sending this my way.

I though of Odin's Sphere right at the beggining. The sprites/models and the world looks great, but the UI (shop and dialog boxes) and character portraits don't look that great. I'm also worried that the game will be HARD. It certainly won't be another Braid, but it looks solid enough to be a hit.

Knowing it's made to appeal to the furry audience let's me know this game will be lacking  in an original story. Furries tend to copy and paste everything they think is cool and just put anthropomorphic characters instead of humans. Which would be fine but like the majority of furries I'm sure they will put some love interest and sexual themes among this which I would not be able to relate to considering the characters. Thus breaking the immersion and leaving the game flat and uninteresting.
 
But that's my personal opinion.

Hooray for the Rich Gallup mention! Also this game looks AMAZING, just goes to show you what a powerful console like the 360/ps3 can do with 2d graphics, just wished that it came out as XBLA and not XNA (lack of achievements)

I don't know why so much bashing is going on if the gameplay turns out good why does it matter if it has a furry ?

I think the proper term is anthropomorphic, not "furrie" (sic). "
No, it's furrie.

"Furry" (not "furrie") typically refers to furry fans, people who like these anthropomorphic depictions of people. It's not the same as anthropomorphism itself; it just refers to the fans. 
 
There's nothing inherently wrong with anthropomorphism, but most people's exposure to the culture focuses primarily on the sexual aspects (such as yiffing). A study on the subject revealed that only 2% had an interest in zoophilia/bestiality, and less than 1% have an interest in plushophilia; so it's actually uncommon among furries. I find it unlikely that the game's creators fall into either category.

I am not a humongous fan of the ANIMEZ myself. But this game looks so damn gorgeous.
