There was a lot of buzz about him joining the team on the likes of Gamespot, Player2, and Stevivor, so give those a look – and I also had a detailed interview with Kotaku about Broken Roads in general as well as what it means to have Colin joining the team. The focus of this funding has been to develop Broken Roads' narrative further, and we have been able to bring on Alexander Swords as Lead Writer to head up that side of the project. Most notably, the team has grown significantly in no small part thanks to Film Victoria's funding. Look for more updates in May, when we plan to have some more gameplay videos out in the wild!īut! It's been four busy months with a lot of positives. It's all pre-alpha footage demonstrating where the game was by early October, and I am really excited to show off some of our new developments and what the game is going to look like a few months on. Our reveal trailer, which if you have not seen yet is embedded below, has crossed over 42,000 views already, so thanks to everyone who has watched, liked, shared and so on! It's a strange thing in game development where time both flies by and seems to grind to a halt as well - on the one hand it's been only around four months since PAX, and yet so much has as happened that it feels like all of that was in some distant point in the past… And at the same time somehow March is almost upon us and we are less than three months away from our next major milestone: a vertical slice showing off our alpha progress. Still, taken a side at a time, or even a song a time, it is a thing of wonder, serving up such perfectly sculpted pop songs as "Grey Seal," full-bore rockers as "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" and "Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock & Roll)," cinematic ballads like "I've Seen That Movie Too," throwbacks to the dusty conceptual sweep of Tumbleweed Connection in the form of "The Ballad of Danny Bailey (1909-34)," and preposterous glam novelties, like "Jamaica Jerk-Off." This touched on everything John did before, and suggested ways he'd move in the near-future, and that sprawl is always messy but usually delightful, a testament to Elton's '70s power as a star and a musician.A lot has been going on in the few months since we first announced Broken Roads and showed off the game at PAX Australia in October. This was truly the debut of Elton John the entertainer, the pro who knows how to satisfy every segment of his audience, and this eagerness to please means the record is giddy but also overwhelming, a rush of too much muchness. Opening with the 11-minute melodramatic exercise "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" - as prog as Elton ever got - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road immediately embraces excess but also tunefulness, as John immediately switches over to "Candle in the Wind" and "Bennie & the Jets," two songs that form the core of his canon and go a long way toward explaining the over-stuffed appeal of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
and U.K., and he had smash singles in "Crocodile Rock" and "Daniel" - but this 1973 album was a statement of purpose spilling over two LPs, which was all the better to showcase every element of John's spangled personality. Prior to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Elton John had hits - his second album, Elton John, went Top 10 in the U.S.
It was designed to be a blockbuster and it was.
