One of Disney’s premier voice-over actor in Italy, Luca Eliani, has taken a rather interesting step in coming up with a brand new game for both iOS and Android devices. Having given voice to Donald Duck, and being an artist surrounded and influenced by art and cartoons, he aims to bring this unique world view to this new game, titled illo – birth of the cool.
It’s an action puzzle adventure where players can touch, feel, move and throw illo across dream-scape environments, avoiding dangerous obstacles and some really bizarre creatures. Luca has teamed up with Italy’s Raylight studios and together they’re seeking to raise financial backing through Kickstarter.com starting on Tuesday 30th October.
Massi Di Monda, CEO of Raylight said, “As soon as we saw Luca’s amazing artwork we were immediately hooked. The concept of illo is something we’ve never seen before in videogames and because of that we’re going to reproduce Luca’s vision exactly. This will be a challenging but very exciting project.”
Luca Eliani said, “The world of illo is a departure from anything you have ever seen before in a videogame. It is outlandish, nightmarish, colourful and spirited. Players of any age will be able to play illo at anytime, anywhere and Kickstarter presents us the perfect route to bring such a unique IP to market. illo is a game that everyone can play, and through Kickstarter, we want everyone to help us make it.”
illo – the birth of the cool begins on Tuesday 30th October 2012 on Kickstarter.com and runs for 35 days. Check it out over here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/raylight/illo-birth-of-the-cool
