Not entirely sure how this is retro themed
Viewing post in CAGE 籠 jam comments
The game is set in the Kowloon Walled City in the 80s (on the verge of demolition).
We didn't take the city as the game backdrop.
We did a lot of research about how the community work at the time, the way people spoke, the way the neighbourhood interact, the daily life of the people in the city and embed it in the game.
We also employ the 80s Cantonese-pop, radio clip.
We tried to deliver the feelings of the 80s Hong Kong to the players in an emmersive way.
We are in aware of the retro genre in video game industry, yet we refer retro in our game to the theme and the environment of old Hong Kong instead of the 'retro games'.
