A New Beginning for environmental adventure games

by JC Fletcher { Aug 21st 2007 at 3:00PM }

Daedalic Entertainment, the German publisher of adventure games like Ankh, is developing a new adventure game for the PC, Wii, and DS with a preachy twist. A New Beginning is being billed as an "eco-thriller" in which the player, as ~~five teenagers with elemental rings~~ a scientist and a time traveler, is responsible for stopping an "impending global climate cataclysm."

Remarkably, A New Beginning uses hand-drawn 2D art and animation. We'll hopefully find out how it looks when Daedalic debuts the game at the Games Convention in Leipzig.

Oh great, finally a nice looking game comes out for my favorite (dead) genre, and it's some hippy crap!

Captain Planet should come back. Now that "going green" is finally popular (not like in the days after the Kyoto convention, where owning anything other than a conventional car was liscence to have yourself castrated and leave your manhood behind), he could easily win his way back into the hearts of the people of the world

Right mgroves? Graphics-wiss alone, this looks pretty hot, but story wise? I'm environmentally conscious in real life, a game doesn't need to remind me of the impending doom :-) Of course, D:DOC is backdropped against environmental disasters, but somehow I don't think it will be the same....
