Inspiration

Happy New Year! Sorry for the sudden disappearance, folks. We're still alive and running, and soon we'll have more fancy, graphical stuff to show here!

Back on topic: what inspired our game? Well, the main idea came from A Trip to the Moon, a movie directed by French filmmaker Georges Méliès. A few years ago, The Invention of Hugo Cabret payed a tribute to him (the movie's worth it, by the way).


The above scene, taken directly from A Trip to the Moon, is a cinema classic. Remembering our game's plot, Hervog uses a cannon to shoot himself to the Moon. Sounds familiar, huh?

Interestingly, Méliès inspiration for this scene seems to come from From the Earth to the Moon, a novel written by Jules Verne, where a space gun attempts to shoot three people inside a projectile to the Moon.
