We at Nintendo Wii Fanboy can't help but find Luc Bernard, creator of
Eternity's Child, incredibly compelling. Let's look at the facts. For one, he's
bringing a game to Wii Ware that has a beautiful art style, which will be priced at only $5. Bernard is also
fond of pugs, which scores him automatic points in our book. To top it off, he wants to bring even more games to Wii Ware, including one he's titled
Manufactured Beauty (concept art pictured above). Then, there's also the fact that he's made the orchestral soundtrack of
Eternity's Child available for fans to listen to
online.
If the artwork alone (understandably) isn't enough to get you pumped about this addition to Wii Ware, rest assured that
Eternity's Child has other merits. Not only does the story deal with modern-day environmental and ethical issues, but it also introduces a creative fantasy world. According to Bernard, this makes the game like an "interactive fairy tale." While parallels can easily be drawn between its story and real life, the surface presents us with an interesting plot filled with unique characters and surrealist scenarios.
As for the gameplay, we don't know much aside from the inclusion of a point-and-shoot mechanic involving the Wiimote. Bernard sheds more candid details about himself and
Eternity's Child in
this Destructoid interview, though, which features some Q&A with the game's soundtrack composer as well.
We can't wait until more details emerge on this title (which, according to Bernard, is almost finished). Is anyone else looking forward to it?
Yeah, well, contrary to what we were saying earlier, it appears Eternity's Child will indeed be coming to the North American WiiWare service. Why? Well, it's hard to explain, but Alten8's CEO Paul Andrews spoke to WiiWare World and droned on about Luc Bernard, concepts, formats and the like.
