Nintendo DS Media | Drawn to Life: Video & Interview

THQ has quickly snapped up 5TH Cell's innovative new title for the Nintendo DS - 'Drawn to Life', and a new interview has emerged alongside an fresh video of the game in action. First check out the video of the game, then below that there are some highlights from the interview:

GamesRadar.com: Can you tell us about the idea behind the gameplay? How does the drawing affect it?

Scott Rogers, Creative Manager, THQ Product Development: The player is the Creator - a being whose drawings come to life. The Creator makes a Creation Hero, which is the player's avatar in the game. The player controls the Creation Hero to rescue Raposa, defeat the Shadow Creatures and restore the village. The drawings provide a variety of functions from drawing platforms and making vehicles that the player uses to progress through the levels to drawing signs and buildings in the village. The drawing is instrumental to the game play - without it, there'd be no game. The player is creating the game's content.

GR: Can you explain the story behind the Raposas?

SR: The Raposa are a peaceful race of creatures who like parties and banya muffins. They are also the guardians of the Creator's Book of Life. Anything drawn in the Book of Life comes to life. When Wilfre, one of the Raposa, gets a hold of the book and tries to draw his own creations, they come out twisted and evil and a darkness falls over the village. Pages are torn from the book, a strange darkness creeps in, and most of the Raposa abandon the village. It is here where the game starts.
