![]() ![]() We can’t wait to show people all the new additions in Hohokum at E3. ![]() But at its heart, Hohokum is a playground, a place to wander about, perhaps even lose yourself in. This is quite a challenge, but we’re really excited about how it’s coming together. One of the main aims for Hohokum is to create something where the usual pressures of videogames – constantly being told to do things, fearing failure and being challenged to earn progress – were all absent. ![]() A technicolour, calligraphic, worm-like, kite-like being! The way you move around the world is very expressive and kinetic and kind of mesmerising to play. You take on the role of a curious flying snake-like character. ![]() It’s a whimsical, colorful game with an emphasis on playful exploration and creativity. From the soundtrack to just the feel of the game, its a great way to unwind after hours of Bloodborne. Hohokum is a collaboration between artist Richard Hogg and Honeyslug, a London-based game studio. You guys, as someone who recently jumped on the PS4 train and then discovered he had a library of games from when he was on PS3 many years ago, I just spent some serious time getting acquainted with Hohokum last night and I absolutely adore it. We have come quite a long way since then and they are still the perfect fit to be working with on this game. So it has been around two years since the public saw anything of Hohokum – when it was an IGF finalist and then followed by Indiecade in the US.īut now the cat is out of the bag! I guess it was in the summer of 2011 at Indiecade that our involvement with Santa Monica Studio began. Before that we had a Hohokum-sabbatical in order to make Frobisher Says for PS Vita. Interact with eclectic characters, wacky toys and peculiar environments to uncover some very strange secrets or simply roam at your own pace and be totally amazed and amused at the surprises that unfold in front of your eyes. We have been working away on the game for the last year, maintaining strict radio silence. Become a curious flying kite-like being as you travel to colourful worlds just waiting to be explored. It’s kind of awesome to be able to finally say that. It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce Hohokum as a Sony Santa Monica project, coming to PS4, PS3 and PS Vita in 2014! ![]()
