The hardest roles would be playing the attractive, heroic leading lady.

My acting teacher taught me a variety of things, such as how to cry on command and sound really excited about floor wax.īut more importantly, she taught me that the hardest roles of my career wouldn't involve emotional death scenes, historical research, or any kind of physical and emotional transformation. stands out in that it is a mod-turned-indie-game, something that would have been unlikely to get traditional publisher funding, even if it were a more standard gaming experience.įor more information about Dear Esther, check out 's Dear Esther Blowout, which includes a summary of the game's developmental history, and an interview with its creator. it is a unique expression from a video game artist we look forward to seeing more work from in the future. Indie Fund claims to have selected Dear Esther because Indie Fund is an alternative funding option for independent game developers, founded by a roster of indie vets that includes Jonathan Blow and Kellee Santiago.Īccording to Indie Fund's announcement, Dear Esther's environments will be re-envisioned by Robert Briscoe, formerly an environment artist for 2008's Mirror's Edge, and will likewise undergo enhancements to its voice-acting and musical score. Now the title is set to receive a substantial makeover with the help of Indie Fund, and is due to enjoy a commercial release later this year.
The game achieved enormous critical success, and established a devoted cult following.

I know that tough decisions are a fact of life but as of late it just seems like there are more than I am accustomed to.
I find that lately I'm forced to make a lot of tough decisions with no real winner in any of the outcome. Did you have your girlfriend stolen from you by a "big ape" (Mario from Donkey Kong)? Do you feel repressed by your government (Jade from Beyond Good and Evil, the girl from Mirror's Edge (Sorry I don't know her name))? Were you and your friends betrayed by Griffith and then all of your friends are killed and you are branded for life (Guts from Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage)? Does everything suck ( Kirby)?įor myself, and I know this is sort of cheating, but I relate to Shepard from the Mass Effect series.
Which video game character do you relate to the most? Sure, you may not be a super power imbued super hero or a fallen God, but every game has a hero with a story - and these stories are decidedly human. It's commenter Aikage's turn to play Speak Up on Kotaku again, or should I say Commander Aikage? He wants to know what video game character you relate to the most, and you're going to tell him.
