Superbrothers A/V Inc. and Pine Scented Software Ltd. are debuting their last trailer before the release of JETT: The Far Shore celebrating the game’s unique art and soundscapes. JETT: The Far Shore launches on October 5th at 12AM ET on PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4 and is available for $29.99 USD.
In a new blog post on the PlayStation Blog, Creative Director of JETT: The Far Shore Craig D. Adams goes through the creative process behind the game’s opening hour as well as it’s segmented chapters: “The intent with this explicit segmentation is to create a design that feels finite and traversable, for people like me who have a need to plan their leisure time. I like to know what I’m in for, and what to strive towards. I’ve grown accustomed to being able to know the length of a book or a chapter, or an episode of television, or the general duration of a film, and I tend to appreciate having this information. For some people, having a rough outline in place might let them more easily relax into the experience.”
