What is ART DINK GAME LOG?
`ART DINK GAME LOG` is a captivating initiative by the company that has delighted gamers with titles like `A-Train`, `Atlus`, and `Carnage Heart`. This project aims to port and remaster beloved classics to modern gaming hardware, preserving the essence of these historical games while introducing them to a new generation of players. By keeping a log of ART DINK's gaming journey, the project ensures that old fans can revisit cherished memories, while newcomers discover the unique fun these games offer.
The Launch Title: Tail of the Sun
A Unique 3D Action Adventure
First released in 1994 for PlayStation®, `Tail of the Sun` quickly gained a reputation as a 'century's bizarre game' due to its outlandish premise. In this game, players control early human characters who navigate through primitive life, offering a simplistic yet captivating 3D action experience.
An Absurd yet Intriguing Setting
One of the standout features of `Tail of the Sun` is its peculiar presentation that encapsulates primitive life. Picture early humans who haphazardly slide around in sleep or interact with surreal elements like nuts shaped like traditional Japanese sweets. The game includes an eclectic soundtrack featuring avant-garde techno music that complements its whimsical art style. As you traverse expansive open-world terrain, expect the unexpected at every turn, making your exploration a delightful adventure.
Hunt, Gather, and Build
In `Tail of the Sun`, the aim is straightforward: players hunt down formidable enemies like mammoths to collect valuable ivory. This ivory is then used to construct towering structures that reach the sun. To succeed in capturing bigger prey, you must explore the vast fields for resources, consuming meat and nuts found during your adventures to enhance your character's abilities. The ultimate question remains—what transformations await when the ivory tower finally touches the sun? Only you can find out.
Bringing Back the Atmosphere
The latest iteration of `Tail of the Sun` will feature two distinct modes to choose from:
Remaster Mode, which enhances visuals for current platforms, and
Classic Mode, which truly reflects the original game's aesthetic. Players can enjoy the game in the way that resonates most with them. Moreover, the original manual will be featured in-game, allowing for a deeper dive into the charm and details that fans loved back in the day.
