Linger in the Shadows now on PSN
demoscene project now available
A new demoscene project is now available for your perusal on the PlayStation Network, Linger in the Shadows yours for a reasonable 1.99 GBP.
Producer Rusty Buchert explains what this new slice of interactive entertainment is all about in a new PlayStation blog update. demoscene is a loose conflagration of game makers who have clubbed together to push the limits of computer hardware - in this case the PS3.
Linger in the Shadows is more than just a technology showcase, however, it includes a world and a timeline to explore, Trophies to collect, and even Sixaxis shaking controls.
"When you actually play through Linger in Shadows there are a bunch of things to think about as you explore. Roam through the timeline both forward and backward. Look beyond the frame of the picture as you see it. There are things hidden that you can play with, unlock, and even get Trophies for if you find them," offered Rusty Buchert.
The downloadable isn't a game in the traditional sense, Buchert points out, but it is about exploration, which will be rewarded.
He adds: "The more exploration beyond the basics, the more you get. A lot of these are reflected through 'greets'. For those of you who don't know what greets are, they come from the demoscene. Demo groups put in call outs, or greets, to friends or other groups whose work they really respect. It is kind of like liner notes on a record album. It's a tradition of the art form that I think is cool, and it exposes you to other demoscene groups that you should check out."
More on this intriguing proposition soon.
