and a foreign ruler who tries to convince them of her intentions.”
After quite a while of waiting, we can finally confirm the name of
the tribe the city belonged to: The Mathu’un. What’s even
more exciting than the name of the tribe is that, during these
sequences, “You will be able to explore the Mathu’un village, see how
they lived and hear conversations between the villagers that used
to live there.”
But the revelations
don’t stop there.
Mooneye is finally
ready to announce
another major
component
of Lost
Ember,
and

Cooperative multiplayer certainly adds an exciting dynamic to
the exploratory puzzle nature of Lost Ember. Though it does
come with a brand new set of questions: Is there only one wolf?
Given that the wolf has the power to possess other animals
and gain direct control of them, is the second player also allowed
to swap between animals? Do players have to stick together,
or can one fly off ahead and scout areas while another hunts
for secrets? These
are all good questions... that I
probably should
have asked
Mooneye
about ;)

IGM is happy to provide a platform for this
world exclusive scoop:
“We have been working on a great,
new feature for Lost Ember for
some time now and are happy
to announce that you will be
able to play Lost Ember
with your friends! Lost
Ember will have a
multiplayer mode
that let’s you run
across the level
and fly through the woods with a friend. We already
have a working prototype and probably will have something to
show in the next couple of weeks. The multiplayer feature really
puts the game on a whole new level, we think. It’s just too awesome
to explore the world of Lost Ember, find hidden secrets or fly
through a canyon in a swarm of parrots with a friend.”

Stay tuned to Game Watch and we might
just get some answers.
We’ve been covering Lost Ember
for nearly a year now, and
we’ve seen the game go
through many ups and
downs. It’s been an
exciting journey
to help document
Mooneye’s approach to
development, and I’m equally intrigued by where the project will
go. That said, there are a couple of other games I’m interested to
beginfollowing for the Game Watch segment beginning in
2016, so it might be a while before another Lost Ember update rolls
around. If not sooner, we’ll try to check in just before the Kickstarter
campaign and offer another update. Until next time, game watchers!
