PINTEREST LUNARK PC

Everything you hear in Lunarkcomes from me, music and SFX included. I was 7 years old when I started music theory and have never stopped playing and composing since.

In September 2018, I took the leap and decided to quit my job to start my own independent studio: Canari Games Inc. Given the enthusiasm around the project and how my passion grew about it, it became obvious to me that this game had to see the light. Seeking to recreate the special feeling conveyed by these games, I started working on Lunarkin my spare time. Prince of Persia, Another World (aka Out of This World) and particularly Flashback have made a significant impact on me as a kid. I've contributed to a dozen games such as Flinthook, Shovel Knight Showdown, Adventure Time, Mercenary Kings Reloaded and Rivals of Aether. Although I've worked for several years as a graphic designer, you may know me as a pixel artist and animator in the independent video game industry or even have seen that little red-haired guy running on twitter. I'm originally from France, but now live in Montreal, Canada. My name is Johan Vinet, husband and father of two. Just like the fantastic games from which Lunarkdraws its inspirations, I use rotoscoping for the cutscenes’ animation (tracing over motion picture or 3D footage).

(“The Cinematic Platformer Compendium” by itchyander) “Cinematic platformers are action-adventure platformers with a strong emphasis on realism, cinematic presentation, detailed character animations, and a minimalistic approach to storytelling”. You have no idea what a 2D cinematic platformer is? I hope to be able to add even more platforms and languages depending on how well the campaign and development goes.

The game will be available on Nintendo Switch, PC (Windows) & Mac (OsX) in English, French, and Spanish. Lunark is also an adventure focused on delivering a thrilling narrative with explosive moments. The game is meant to feel fresh while being nostalgic. I've designed Lunarkas a homage to cinematic platformers while bringing modernity to a lot of the core aspects: The controls are responsive and intuitive and the progression system generous. You'll retrace your origins in the midst of a rebellion against the totalitarian regime of Lunark, and meet a wide cast of colorful characters, stuck on either side of the escalating conflict. Unfortunately, whether the planet was inhabited or not was not part of Noah’s programming.Ĭenturies later, you play as Leo, an orphan rejected for being… different. Noah chose the Moon as humanity's Ark - renamed Lunark - using it as a ship to evacuate a handful of chosen ones to the nearest superhabitable planet. Run, jump, hang, climb, roll, and shoot your way through mysterious alien ruins, a flying penitentiary, a high-tech megalopolis, and a majestic forest.Īs Earth became inhospitable, Noah, an AI whose sole purpose was to preserve humanity, was created.

Lunarkis a 2D cinematic platformer in the vein of '80s and '90s classics such as Prince of Persia and Flashback.
