someone out there must be trying to snag this guy to collaborate with their art department, right? jesus

feel free to post similar cases

I had never heard about him until now but those pictures of Star Mazzer are incredible !
If it was a real game I would buy it in a heartbeat...

 

[vagabondarts]

Thank you for sharing this with everyone. First I've seen of his stuff.

Awesome!!!

vlambeer needs to do something with this guy

 

[BossLackey]

That looks great!

vlambeer needs to do something with this guy

I was thinking the Jamestown devs. If they're still alive.

 

[Li Kao]

Yup, this man is a beast. Each of his work shines brightly on its own and its amazing to see him deliver time after time. And without repeating himself, IMHO.
It becomes stranger and stranger to not see his work on a more 'ambitious' project.

 

[Hell Pé]

Jérémie Périn needs to work on a real game already

You can still check out his brothers' games: Magnetis, Zorbié, Gauge... They totally should work together on something though.

They totally should work together on something though.

I think he did the art for Zorbie? which means he did work on a game!

 

[Thores]

Oh man. I never realized that Truckers Delight and that weird, weird Cthulhu animation were the same guy, but in retrospect that makes so much sense! I need to watch this new video after work.

 

[Hell Pé]

That's Simon Périn, I think. Here's a couple of (French) articles about that family: Gamekult and Eurogamer.

I've had the occasion to meet Étienne in person, he's a pretty cool guy! The French indie scene definitely needs more guys like him.

 

[Li Kao]

Yeah and scratch what I just said. We clearly don't get enough of the man in video games, but a little google search showed that he clearly don't sit on his hands. Realization, animation, co-writing, image-boards...

 

[Coxy]

Yeah I'd buy the shit out of that, it's pretty similar to Sigma Star Saga

 

[Thores]

Hey, guess what: Starr Mazer is going to be a real game.

Or at least, it could be. They're launching their Kickstarter on the 22nd.

The game in progress has an official Tumblr with which to keep track of the project.

Hey guys! I'm Don Thacker, the head of Imagos Softworks, the company making Starr Mazer.

I'm super stoked that you guys are interested in Starr Mazer, and would love to answer any questions you might have.

A few quick answers that I know are burning:

• Starr Mazer is real. It has been real. It was never not real. My film company, Imagos Films, made a feature film called Motivational Growth - a weird little dark comedy fantasy - in which the main character travels into his TV. At one point he actually travels into Starr Mazer. This was not originally part of the script - he was originally written to travel into a Mexican soap opera show - but after putting a feeler out to Jeremie Perin, I realized I could show off something I always wanted to make: Starr Mazer. The game predates the film.
• Starr Mazer development is already underway. Imagos has invested in the game thus far and is taking to Kickstarter to get the necessary funds to make this game what it is supposed to be. We have an engine prototype and a bunch of playable sections of the game at the time of this writing.
• Jeremie Perin is supportive of the project, but fully booked at the time of this writing, and has been for some time. Also, he's an animator and amazing filmmaker, and his interests lie in making films. We've hired legendary pixel artist Christina Antoinette Neofotistou to take the helm and grow Jeremie's work, and she has so far done an amazing job. Starr Mazer will look like what you've seen in the video and MORE.
• The game will be fully voiced by an amazing cast of voice actors, some of whom you know from film and television.
• The soundtrack is being composed by the one and only Alex Mauer and has a guest artist roster of over 20 contributing musicians including heavy hitters like Manami Matsumae, Jake "Virt" Kaufman and Makeup & Vanity Set
• The game is targeting PC / Mac / Linux to start, but a highly successful kickstarter could bring it to other consoles with a quickness.

Well, isn't this a surprising twist.

I've already opined for this game in the indie thread, but I hope some support gathers. I want this to get made so I can play it.
