Stylish adventure game Candle meets funding goal, announced for Wii U
Spanish indie dev Teku Studios has reached its $40,000 crowdfunding goal for Candle, a cinematic adventure game slated for release next year for PC platforms. Inspired by classics like Out of This World and the Oddworld series, Candle blends the mechanics of a side-scrolling platformer with the puzzle-solving focus of a graphic adventure game. The game's main character, Teku, is equipped with a candle, which he can use to illuminate dark areas and solve light-based puzzles. Teku Studios announced today that Candle is also coming to the Wii U as a downloadable eShop release. "We are already thinking about dedicated gameplay on Wii U - we are not doing any kind of quick port," Teku Studios confirmed. "We will design specific gameplay features for its gamepad: all the menus, inventory and minigames will be tactile-controled on the touchscreen, as well as other unique actions concerning Teku's candle." Candle currently seeks community approval at Steam Greenlight.
Beautiful adventure game Candle seeking Kickstarter, Greenlight approval
Spanish developer Teku Studios is hard at work on its introductory game Candle, and is seeking $40,000 on Kickstarter by Friday, August 16 to pay for development costs. Candle is a platformer-meets-adventure game in which players guide a "shaman pupil" named Teku, rescuing fellow survivors of his village following an attack from a rival tribe. Teku Studios' project video shows off some of the hand-painted watercolor backdrops for Candle, and discusses the "dynamic graphic adventure" style inspired by games like Out of this World and platforming elements from games such as Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Teku Studios has raised $14,944 so far in its crowdfunding efforts, and is hoping to bring Candle to Steam through Greenlight. The developer plans to launch the game in January 2014 on PC.
