I mean, they're really alive! Not only that, they're super-helpful.

I wish I understood what was making all this possible. Even Cecil seemed to give up on this place. Pretty soon everyone left for other lives on the mainland. And it was always a treat to see Cecil the Sea Lion paying a visit. I loved everyone hustling and bustling, even when they were tripping over me.

The Fish Market used to be so noisy and full of life. I'll bet my old chalk drawings are still all over the place. I spent so much time around here when I was a kid. The first place I need to clean up is the Fish Market. How? By clearing away all that disgusting, purple Darkness, and by creating beautiful artwork everywhere. I have to admit, I was kind of scared.īut instead, it led to my meeting Luna, getting a magic brush, and being given the power to paint Denska back to life. It started with those bullies tearing apart my sketchbook and sending me to the "haunted" Lighthouse. Well, today certainly didn't go the way I thought it would!

By reading it from Ash's point of view, it gives players a deeper insight on Ash and the other characters. There has been a lot of fascinating development behind the scenes, which I think will be really interesting for people to see.Ash's diary is regularly updated throughout the game about Ash's adventures in Denska and the Genies. I’m also looking forward to sharing more from the team directly and their individual work on the game. There is so much more to share about Concrete Genie in the coming months, and I can’t wait to show everyone as much as we can as we head toward release in 2018. We wanted to make sure that if we were going to put our hearts and souls into making a game designed to create an emotional connection with players that it can reach as many people as possible. Combining that with a desire to be more ambitious we decided to switch to Unreal 4 as our engine, and we invested in developing a 3rd person action adventure – a genre that we all have a lot of passion and love for. We’re really happy with the response we got to that game (It’s been downloaded over 1 million times!) but at the beginning of this project we decided as a team that we wanted to make something more accessible. The team has been on quite the journey since we made Entwined. Using the power of your brush to clean the walls is incredibly satisfying! It has been heavily affected by pollution, but Ash discovers that his magic paint can cleanse the pollution from its streets and alleyways. Unfortunately, Ash has to contend with some bullies in the neighborhood, so the creatures in particular become really important to him: they’re the friends he wished he had in real life.Ĭoncrete Genie is set in a small fishing town called Denska, which sadly at this point is practically abandoned. The paint strokes you make on the walls will turn into beautiful, living artwork. Our goal is for anyone to be able to paint in this game. Using DualShock 4’s motion sensor, you can effortlessly create stunning landscapes that come to life and even make your own cast of unique creatures to hang out and play with. It’s an action adventure game about a boy called Ash who discovers he can bring his paintings to life.Īs you might expect, given that our hero is an artist, a lot of the gameplay in Concrete Genie is about having fun with paint. It’s been a while since my last post - that’s because we’ve been away working hard on our second game: Concrete Genie. Hi there, my name is Dominic Robilliard and I am the Creative Director of a small team at PlayStation called Pixelopus.
