the new click & point adventure: Deponia

Hello all,
I`m Jenny Berndt PR/Marketing Assistant from Daedalic Entertainment. Gelert asked us, to introduce our new PC adventure Deponia to you. Deponia is a classical, hand-drawn 2D point & click adventure, like the Whispered World.

The story:
Rufus is not a pleasant guy. Ill-tempered and entirely too convinced of his own greatness, he lives at the edge of a small settlement somewhere in the most remote sector of the garbage-covered planet Deponia. He dreams of a better life in the floating cities of wealth and beauty high above the planet surface. When the angelic Goal falls from these privileged spheres down into a neighboring trash heap, Rufus sees his chance. He decides to bring the unconscious beauty back to her home. Only a vague hope of making it off Deponia at first, he soon formulates an unscrupulous plan, as he learns that he is a dead ringer for Goal’s upper-class husband. The planned handover soon dissolves into a wild chase full of twists, turns and mystifying mix-ups…

Deponia is a fast-paced comedy of errors and one of the most unusual love stories in gaming history. The twist-filled story takes its off-beat characters all over trash planet Deponia, a unique game world in the style of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Matt Groening. The new adventure game from the makers of The Whispered World, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout and A New Beginning is brought to life with detailed HD graphics, hand-painted backgrounds and top-quality cartoon animation.

Some of the features:
• Unique game world in the tradition of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Matt Groening: Travel to the furthest reaches of the strange garbage planet Deponia and meet its off-beat inhabitants

• Surprising story: Experience a fast-paced comedy of errors and one of the most unusual love stories in gaming history

• Detailed hand-painted graphics in cinematic widescreen vision, top-quality cartoon animation

• Context-sensitive „point & click“ interface

• From the acclaimed team behind Edna & Harvey: The Breakout and The Whispered World

Hi Dely. I've inserted the trailer links as requested.

Since a while you can only see links on this forum when you are logged in. Is that intentional?
I only log in when I post something, not when I'm just looking...

It appears to be the default setting for the forum. Nothing that I've done.

Yet I'm sure it wasn't like that a year or so ago.

Thanks for the longer trailer. The characters look very engaging. I'm looking forward to playing this game

After reading the above description of this game, I decided I wasn't interested in it, but since then I have changed my mind. The reason being that earlier today I read an interesting preview of the game at another forum (Adventure Gamers, I think) and there were some great screenshots there, too. It reminds me so much of The Whispered World and I enjoyed that game a lot, so now this has been added to my list of games I want to play. (Although Rufus doesn't sound as nice as Sadwick, I still like him.)

Deponia is scheduled for Q2 2012 according to the latest Lace Mamba Global official statement. Some patience more and it will be there.Do you know that two sequels are aready planned?The first one will be released October-Novwmber I think, the second one in 2013.One of them is called "chaos in deponia".

It's good to know that it is scheduled to release. It won't be to much longer then. Two more games are planned ? That is good news. Is anything known other than that they are planned ?

One of them is already under development.It will be released Q4 of this year.The 3rd one will be released in 2013. Google for Chaos in Deponia.I would do that but I am posting via my mobile phone right now.
