Luc Bernard Talks WiiWare Projects

Luc Bernard is back working on WiiWare and Apple iPhone with two titles for the download services.

According to WiiWare World, Bernard has established a new game development company in Florida with a close friend and a handful of investors. There's two titles in development, including a rethink of Rose Princess.

Strategy Game (iPhone/Wiiware/Steam)
This game will be similar to Advance Wars but with rpg elements in it. I don't want to say too much about it or the title yet, but it's set in the same world as Eternity's Child.

The lead programmer on it has worked at EA so he's really good. And has actually in the past worked on strategy games, so he's helping design it, the difference maybe between Advance Wars and this game is the environment, how that works well you will see once the game comes out. I don't want to reveal too much but I am quite proud of it, it's beautifully designed.

Rose Princess (Steam, Wiiware and any other machine that has a controller)
What was first a game designed to basically help my ex get some promotion, well has turned into something else, I decided to take it back and well redesign it, since I really liked it for some reason, like Looney Toons on crack.

Since I am full time on the strategy game right now up until february, Rose Princess is just being worked on part time, I am not the only concept artist this time, I decided to take David North to work with me on the concept art. I think us combining both of our ideas can bring something truely unique.

Now gameplay wise, that is the most important, it will be a metroidvania style of game, it will be the second game with the new company, I am not going to go too hardcore like I was going to do before (like Mr Cuddles used to snort carrot powder all the time) or either it won't be allowed up on Wiiware.
