Orb


Crossbeam Studios, is set on making this action adventure game a sure fire hit among gamers. According to Crossbeam, the storyline has received some special twists. Apparently, even if the original storyline is kept, the three main characters will now have their own storyline arc. You'd have to play as each character to get Orb's whole story, which leads to only one thing - tons of replay value. Hopefully, the graphics received some loving as well. It's a little difficult to place those early screens side by side with a revamped storyline.

Gameplay is reported to include exploration, interaction, fighting magic and creation. It makes full use of the Wiimote's unique features to complete tasks in a more realistic manner like in fighting or exploration.

It will also have mini-games, side quests and bonus features upon completing certain tasks.

2nd..

Well odds are they will be better then the screens that are shown before considering how the did a complete overhaul on the game allready (after the screens were out) The picture above isnt the actual game its conceptual art. and would be a 'brushed artwork' for a concept of the game.

I believe this game will come out good in the end, i wonder why everyone always pummels first screenshots of a game when they know its still in development and its even by an indie developer.
