Independent game developer Luc Bernard, designer of the PC platformer Eternity’s Child, has announced the formation of a new company focused on iPhone and WiiWare software development. Bernard’s first title, thus far unnamed, is described as “similar to [Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS strategy title] Advance Wars but with rpg elements in it.”
Few other details are known at this time. Bernard confirms that the new company is being set up with help from “a friend,” with funding provided by unnamed investors. An ex-Electronic Arts staff member with experience in the strategy genre serves as lead programmer on Bernard’s debut iPhone offering, which takes place in the Eternity’s Child universe.
Bernard remains cryptic in describing the title’s gameplay. “The difference maybe between Advance Wars and this game is the environment, how that works well you will see once the game comes out,” he says. “I don’t want to reveal too much but I am quite proud of it, it’s beautifully designed.”
as beautifully designed as eternity’s child?
Didn’t that guy leave games forever anyway?
