King Story (Project O) - Video Game
Apr 8th, 2008 | By andy | Category: MISC
Ousama Monogatari (King Story) casts the player as a boy named Corobo Bread who, thanks to a magical crown, becomes the king of a growing, obedient village.
Villagers follow you around and follow your orders; as you gather more villagers, you have the ability to issue more orders, and you can add more buildings and amenities to your village. Your villagers must also fight monsters at your command.
This video game really looks fun. It looks like some sort of real time strategy video game with life simulation. This upcoming video game receives so much publicity because of the people involved in its production. And they are Hideo Minaba (art director on Final Fantasy XII), Kazuyuki Kurashima (designer of Moon and Endnesia), Youichi Kawaguchi (main programmer on Dragon Quest VIII) and Yoshirou Kimura (Moon, Chulip).
Anyways, what are some of the games you guys are waiting for?
Haha it looks innovative and goofy. I will take a wait and see approach to this one…
Yes the game looks fun. However I am afraid Ousama Monogatari (and other interesting projects) may stay outshined by the real time strategies like starcraft (1/2?) and other monstrous. At least in Korea.
With developers that include game gods Hideo Minaba, Kazuyuki Kurashima, Youichi Kawaguchi, and Yoshirou Kimura, we can only be sure that this is going to be one great game. And who can ever resist a combination of RTS and life simulation?
But I have to agree with Magnetic, this game will have to contend with the game juggernaut Starcraft…
