"We wanted a bit more of a three-act structure - a traditional sort of hero's journey approach to the storytelling."While the demo we were playing took place very early on in the story, we were told that the puzzles will grow in complexity as we progress through the game.
PLANET OF LANA GAME PASS HOW TO
"A lot of the gameplay is about figuring out how to use Mui and Lana together and separately to progress through the game." While there isn't any combat in Planet of Lana, enemies are another form of puzzle that requires you to work out how to bypass them without being caught. "She's like the most obedient little dog-creature you've ever known," Eriksson said.
PLANET OF LANA GAME PASS PATCH
In this instant, we required Mui to sit on a black patch of reed-style plants to extend a branching vine so Lana could jump across to the other side and then do the same for Mui. Mui reacts to commands like stay and heel, as well as others for directing her to a location, biting through something, and climbing through small openings. This was the first puzzle of the game and our first opportunity to use Mui via commands. "Because we're all from a film background, we really wanted to make sure that we use very simple means to tell a big, complex story."ĭuring the time of discussing the game's language we had crossed large grass-covered landscapes, jumped over crags and cliffs, and found ourselves at a very large gorge that neither of the pair could cross.
"A lot of games sort of reverse that old adage of 'show don't tell' so that it then becomes 'tell don't show," Eriksson said. The team at Wishfully felt like Lana and Mui needed another layer of emotional expression so that the story could be conveyed in a simple manner. Initially, Planet of Lana wasn't going to feature any form of dialogue, and the only form of communication between the pair was intended to be expressed through body language, with the storytelling portion of the game being told through the environments. "If you have an ear for language you'll probably pick some stuff up, but there won't be any subtitles or anything, so you won't understand it verbatim." "We've written this language, a made-up language, that the inhabitants of this planet speak," Eriksson said. Once Lana is awake, the pair begin talking to one another in an alien language as they enjoy meeting each other for the first time. With the gentle imagination-inducing soundtrack - which is composed by The Last Guardian composer, Takeshi Furukawa - and the watercolour art style, we were immediately intrigued by this one scene a feeling that we'd carry through the demo with us. Our time began with Lana lying unconscious on the floor of a woodland clearing with a small black cat-like creature, Mui, inquisitively nudging her until she awakes. Our time with the game during the hands-on session began after the event, during the game's second Act when Lana and Mui are just beginning the exciting, yet treacherous, mission. After an army of robots invades Lana's home world of Novo and kidnaps her sister in the ensuing chaos, Lana and her newfound companion Mui set out on an adventure to rescue her. Planet of Lana is a sci-fi cinematic adventure game that features side-scrolling gameplay and puzzles without combat.
