I DO
If you’re a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas (and why wouldn’t you be — Jack Skellington is adorable), keep an eye on upcoming game, Jinko.
Deane Taylor, art director for The Nightmare Before Christmas (and 400 hours of TV animation, including Ren and Stimpy and Cow and Chicken), has launched an Indiegogo campaign for a new “mixed media fantasy adventure game for young adults.”
The campaign, which is seeking $54,000, states the game will feature seven different acts, “each with its own genre of gameplay and unique design,” and also offers a 110-minute feature and five-episode mini-series.
“The animation style combines CGI, 2-D, stop-motion and puppetry,” states the campaign. “The story is not time specific. Design style blends familiar but distorted reality with total fantasy. Jinko’s journey unfolds in two contrasting worlds, each with multiple locations ranging from grand scale to the intimate.”
Taylor likens to “Pan’s Labyrinth, Nightmare Before Christmas, and the darker moments of Harry Potter” and offers “no shortage of hidden secrets.”
For more, including details on the pledge gifts, head on over to the Indiegogo campaign.
