Another Look at Repos’ Ghost Stories
Repos Production plans to release Antoine Bauza’s Ghost Stories, a cooperative game in which the players try to banish unwanted spirits before they haunt a town, at Spiel 08, and the finished artwork is starting to come in. I’ll post one of the ghost images today and another on Thursday. As I mentioned after playing the prototype twice, I’m really looking forward to this one. Here’s hoping it all looks this good!

Hey, he has a piece of toilet paper stuck to his head! :) “Restroom Zombies”, yeah, I know a few of those… Posted by Diane Close on May 27, 2008 at 03:18 PM | #

"Hey, he has a piece of toilet paper stuck to his head! :)” Yep, that’s why he seems so angry ;) And Eric, I hope you will appreciate the artworks as much as you liked the game :) Piero Posted by Piero Lalune on May 28, 2008 at 01:35 AM | #

Sigh. It is a Talisman that is supposed to keep him at rest. You stick them to the foreheads of corpses to keep them from bunny hopping out of the grave and sucking the breath out of the living. The art *IS* great. Not quite as great as seeing David Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China on the prototype. Even the line art on the prototype was just stunning.

You tell ‘em Frank. We recently watched the unequalled “Mr. Vampire” again. Lam Ching Ying’s one-eyebrowed Taoist priest is wonderful. I love the way the yellow talismans quickly stop these hopping vampires. This game was not on my radar, until I saw the Jiang Shi with the sutra attached to his forehead. Great!

Yeah, I agree, the art is gorgeous! I just couldn’t help making that observation though; it just looks so out of place to Western eyes! :) Posted by Diane Close on May 29, 2008 at 09:48 AM | #
