LostWinds - WiiWare

I'm not entirely sure what Wiiware is, can someone fill in the uninformed masses like myself?

That does look fantastic and goes a long way towards proving that artistic style is far more important than technical prowess when it comes to computer games. The gameplay mechanic looks like it could have a good level of scope, i assume the movements of the wii pointer control the wind hence allowing the character to 'fly' and manipulate water?

The player controls the wind (Enril) with the remote and the character (Tofu) with the nunchuk, but you use Enril to assist Tofu in solving puzzles, defeating enemies etc :)

The game is scheduled to be released with the launch of WiiWare I beleive (i'm not 100% sure as it's not my project) - but I just had a go and it's very cool ^_^.

WiiWare is the new online downloadable game service from Nintendo by the way.

Heh, wow I'd be wondering if any Frontier employees frequented this board! I'm hoping to come work for you guys soon(ish), I attended the open day you had earlier in the year. Was very surprised I actually got to have a chat with David Braben!

Anyway, when I was at this open day I did briefly see this title, and it looked like a really polished wii ware title, I'm glad the reviewers seem to agree!

Nifty, what were you at the open day for? Artist, Programming or Design? :)

I was following the Design track that day. I have another friend who works there, who I think is also working on the Outsider in a design occupation. Obviously he's not said anything more ;)

I sent off my application last week after I was informed they were accepting graduate applications, I've not heard anything yet! haha. Fingers crossed anyway :)
