Hello there, my identify is Lee Petty, and I’m a Artistic Lead right here at Double Advantageous Productions. I’ve been at Double Advantageous for nearly 20 years! I used to be the Artwork Director for Brütal Legend and Damaged Age, however was additionally the Artistic Lead for Stacking, Headlander, Autonomous, and RAD.
My new recreation, Keeper, was impressed by the occasions of the previous couple of years. Like most, I believed lots about isolation and reference to others. I’ve at all times been into mountaineering, backpacking, and spending time outside with my household. In the course of the pandemic, it grew to become much more essential to me. I questioned if the wildlife round me can be all that’s left sooner or later. Would it not proceed to develop, to evolve? I considered the mycelium, the huge underground networks that join fungi, and the way they’re additionally utilized by timber to share vitamins and talk with one another.
I imagined an remoted island in a far-flung future with out people. What types of life would evolve there? Would this life nonetheless be possessed with a necessity to attach with others and to have a goal?
When fascinated about what this world might seem like, I used to be impressed by Surrealist painters, like Max Ernst and Salvador Dali, who created vibrant, dream-like worlds which might be each acquainted and in contrast to anything. A few of my favourite films, like ‘The Darkish Crystal’ and ‘Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind’, are about unusual, otherworldly locations and weird types of life, and each current as family-friendly movies however have weirder, darker undercurrents. This comes by in Keeper too, giving it a gameplay type that I wish to name “Bizarre, however Chill”.

The Lighthouse’s historic masonry crumbles and it falls to the bottom, however then it grows legs, stands up, and units off on a journey towards the mountain peak on the heart of the island, joined by a spirited seabird companion, named Twig.
It’s a psychedelic story of companionship and an journey of mystifying metamorphosis, all set in an exquisite and surreal otherworldly realm past understanding.
It’s a recreation which could be very a lot concerning the surprising, and we’ve got gone to nice lengths to protect the mysteries and surprises the sport holds.
