One To Watch : tiny & Tall Gleipnir

Kickstarter is without doubt one of the best way to get your dream project of the grounds. This is true for comic book artist Antonie Piers who launched a Kickstarter to bring the first book of his comic series, tiny & Tall Gleipnir to video game form.

tiny & Tall Gleipnir is a point and click adventure game that takes inspiration from the Lucas Arts video games of the early 90s. Features include;

Old school point’n’click gameplay: Pick up items, use them with the environment or on one another, talk with colourful characters, all this with your mouse.
An epic story lived by characters who absolutely aren’t. Thus, gags. Also, closer to the original legend than you might think!
Handpainted backgrounds! Handpainted on a computer. It counts, right?
A thrilling soundtrack written for the game by yours truly and by the talentuously talented Detox (Unfrethead)!
An amusing cast of characters which will delight you with their wit.

This is looking like a huge project for one person but looking at all the art work and back story it looks like the developer has a solid play for this project. There is a demo available and I will be giving that a playthrough later this week with my impressions following soon after.
