WAY FORWARD TALK - BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD VIDEO GAME (+ NEW SCREEN SHOTS)
Thursday 22 July 2010
CBR have spoken with WayForward's Adam Tierney and Sean Velasco, Directors of the Wii and DS versions of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold Video game released September this year.CBR News: Over the course of your history as a developer, WayForward has a great resume of all-ages games, including recent titles like "A Boy and His Blob" and "Looney Tunes Duck Amuck." What makes "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" such a good fit for WayForward as a project?
Adam Tierney (WayForward, Director of Wii game): I love that you call them "all-ages" games and not "kids' games," because that's a major component of what we're interested in here at WayForward. We try to make games that appeal to the (typically) younger target audiences, but also games that older gamers, and definitely fans of the source material, can fall in love with. In regard to the games you mentioned, each of those was also an opportunity to try our hand at a new animation style, which is one of the attributes that I think helps WayForward stand out in the games industry. We're one of the only developers (maybe the only one?) using traditional, hand-illustrated, frame-by-frame 2D animation. This project was a blast, because the animation style on "Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame" is so strong.
