Hello to the lovely people of the Hand Eye Society,

It’s time for an announcement: Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is GO!

So what is it?

Whelp, it’s a collaborative art/music/videogame project from Superbrothers, Jim Guthrie & Capy that could only happen here in Toronto. Beyond that it’s a little tricky to describe right now, except to say that it’s headed towards Apple’s kickass handheld machine thing at some point. It’s also worth noting that it already it owes a whole heckuva lot to the ladies & gentlemen that have pioneered Toronto’s thriving DIY videogame culture.

Anyways, here’s a ‘first look’ to whet the appetite: swordandsworcery.com

Plus here’s a little project info & some pixel artwork: http://www.swordandsworcery.com/project

We’re still just getting warmed up, but already things are looking/sounding/feeling nice, so we’ll see where things go from here!

If you’d like to follow the project as it emerges blinking into the light in the coming weeks & months, you have a few options:

-‘instantaneous micro-bulletins’ via @the1console & the S:S&S EP team’s twitters.

-occasional ‘teletex bulletins’ via the superbrothers email list.

Also:

-hang out at capybaragames.com, creators of rad videogames like the just released Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes DS & Critter Crunch PSN.

-hang out here at the Hand Eye Society, if anything super significant happens we’ll try and make a little noise.

If you’re local and you’re press and you’d like to know a little more about what’s going on, maybe get in touch with any of these fine people and say hello: craig@superbrothers.ca, nathan.v@capybaragames.com, kris.p@capybaragames.com.

Did you know that all three SUPERBROTHERS films are online at vimeo right now?

We’re hoping to ping a few of the Hand Eye folks (you know who you are!) about the possibility of a little hands-on time with S:S&S in the next few weeks, so yeah – we’ll be in touch!
