NEW GAMEPLAY VIDEO FOR IDEA, DEMO AVAILABLE AT THE STEAM NEXT FEST

What happens when an idea gets lost along the way? Does it disappear forever, or it can find a way to live forever? The Longest Road Games has just shared a new gameplay video of IDEA, their physics-based puzzle art game about wonder, discovery and sharing. In this new video, that you can check below, you can see what happens when your idea gets stuck: you get to share your thoughts with the world — and who knows what your idea might mean to other people! Other people will be able to save and share your idea (just the same you can keep and share others’ thoughts), and you’ll see how many people have done this so you can realize how your idea was affected by others. IDEA’s demo will be featured in the Steam Next Fest, that will be held on June 13-20

Inspired by the award-winning short film of the same name by Olli Huttunen, IDEA sets you on a journey of awe-inspiring beauty, exploring gorgeous landscapes from a bird’s eye view recorded in 4K resolution, with no loading times between screens.Spark an idea, represented by a white lightbulb, and send it forth to find its place in the world. Watch your idea from the sky, bouncing and falling, and help it when it gets stuck before the music ends. If you find your destination, your idea will bloom into a piece of visual art, a short clip of beauty and marvel. But sometimes, it won’t be able to advance, and its journey will end there – but it won’t be for nothing: it can help other people’s ideas in the future, or even yourself. Write a thought, a piece of a song, a verse, and share it. Now is out there, forever, for all the world to see. And when you begin a new journey, you’ll see other people’s ideas. Save your favorite ones, and see how many people have saved yours.

IDEA follows similar principles as The Longest Road on Earth (of which TLR Games are co-creators): a soothing, poetic experience, focused on the feelings and meanings that the intersection between art, music, and gameplay can create. You can follow the development of IDEA on Steam; its release date will be announced at a later date.

I've been an avid gamer since I stumbled upon ZORK running in my local Radio Shack in 1980. Ten years later I was working for Sierra Online. Since then I've owned nearly every game system and most of the games to go with them. Not sure if 40+ years of gaming qualifies me to write reviews, but I do it anyway.
