<span class="bold">Verona: Season 1</span> - An action/adventure game with a focus on story and character development inspired by
Romeo & Juliet and
Firefly.
Even in its pre-alpha state, the game looks very slick. It reminds me of the better parts of the
Mass Effect series. While they do have a publisher waiting in the wings, that company is not willing to bite the bullet unless the devs are able to successfully fund this campaign. As the name implies, this will be an episodic game. Season 1 will be comprised of five episodes totally about 10-15 hours of gameplay.
The team's pedigree is impressive; comprised of developers who worked on games like
Sine Mora,
Witcher 2, and the Dreamcast version of
Ecco the Dolphin. To prove their love for
Firefly, the game's music is being done by the TV series' composer, Greg Edmonson, who also worked on the music for the
Uncharted games. Upon release, the game will be available on Steam or DRM-Free. However, at least initially, it will be for Windows PCs only.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It looks really slick already. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
