Damn, you guys built fucking miniatures to photograph? That is real incline. That's why the VFX in older movies holds up today, and one of the reasons that the LOTR trilogy is so much better than those new Hobbit abominations.

x a fucking million. Wish we got this outside the box (aka 30 year old technology) thinking from other studios as well.

edit: this is what I'm talking about



Thanks mate!
When I was a young'n I wanted to make miniatures for films - this is a pretty much a childhood dream.

What a great start!

In only A DAY we're almost 30% of the way to our goal of making BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION a reality.

Make sure you don't miss out on the SUPER EARLY BIRD reward tiers with just 24 hours left!

The response has been truly humbling and this is the reason that we decided to create these awesome niche indie games.

BUT…

Our work has just started. We need YOUR help to spread the word about BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION any way you can. Share, Tweet and Facebook... even an email to your congressman - every little bit helps!

You're the reason we make these games, and you're the best marketers that a developer could hope for. We made a super nifty social page to make it easier:http://thebrotherhoodgames.com/social

If there is a place where you've posted about DESOLATION or CAYNE - please let us know so that we can stop by and say hello.

Thanks,

Team Bro

PS. Hadley’s screams have also been heard around the world as CAYNE has been downloaded over 12,000 times! (Play it for FREE here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/532840)

Don't forget to check out the backers only update here:

Team Bro, not to be confused with Bro Team.

I appreciate you posting here, but where's the news post? I mean we have the Banner Saga 3 KS on the main page, which is basically a TBS...

Congrats Pyke , it looks like the campaign is going great.

BTW those cinematics look amazing, are they made solely by you?

Awesome... EVERYTHING, DAMMIT! If only I could pledge without using Kickstarter... Oh wait, I can. You allowed people to do it in STASIS, some time after the Kickstarter was over. In any case, by chance are you aware of this? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192053011/tales-from-the-loop-roleplaying-in-the-80s-that-ne

The artist's webpage is worth checking too.

I LOVE his stuff. I had it in my inspiration folder for a long time!

Yeah - I spent a long time on those! The newer stuff I have planned is even better! Actually going to be posting an update with a breakdown of the cinematics and how they were created.

"Looks like you mashed some poor fellas dog, sarge"

(Less than hour to go on the SUPER EARLY BIRD SPECIALS)

______________

I fell in love with Blizzard the first time I saw the Starcraft introduction movie. It perfectly encapsulated the world that they had crafted. The marines weren't just sprites, they had character!

When we initially started thinking about how to present the world of BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION we wanted to do a film style trailer. This trailer needed to show the fantastic developments The Penrose brought, as well as the journey into a post apocalyptic future. We needed to create a variety of visceral scenes that told the back story to BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION.

The first step was creating a script that would dictate how best to tell this tale in a few short minutes. Once we had the script in place, I put together a very quick pre-visualization animatic. This allowed us to adjust and rework the timing before the detailing and rendering process was undertaken.

We took extra time to add in detail that may not be the focal point, but without these, the scenes wouldn't have been as well rounded as they needed. This included different operating systems and applications on the varied monitors - also note the tiny logos of each competing corporation.

Computer interfaces for background displays
Post apocalyptic Africa was achieved using matte paintings. This technique involves a painted image that is projected over 3D geometry, allowing movement through a seemingly still painting.

The final video is the result of hours of work and shows the quality we'll be showcasing in BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION.

PS.
Have you tried CAYNE yet? http://store.steampowered.com/app/532840/
Don’t forget to leave us a review on STEAM (the same page)!

We got:

5/5 FROM https://thementalattic.com/2017/01/25/review-cayne/
CAYNE IS AS MUCH ABOUT GETTING AWAY, AS IT IS ABOUT UNRAVELING THE MYSTERIES CONTAINED.

8/10 FROM http://opnoobs.com/reviews/indie/adventure/cayne

Just backed. To me it the first impressions are like the Aesthetics of Lost would meet Greg Bear's Eon.

And could you please do a front page news announcements, a lot of people are unaware of this, would you Infinitron.

Well, thanks to there being no news post, I missed the window for the 24 dollar tier by... less than two hours, I believe. :mad:

Oh well, I'm happy to support, but with the amount of campaigns I backed yesterday, I really could've used that discount. :(
