Atelier Rorona looks pretty beautiful
GUST has started posting Atelier Rorona screenshots and art to their supporters' club site. They don't seem to want people to just mass-repost them, so here are a few selections of images I found interesting.
I'm still worried about the tendency for high-res, 3D worlds to be undifferentiated and depressing. Every imperfection and cut corner becomes disappointingly obvious in such a high-fidelity environment, and the potential for imagination decreases more and more. But perhaps GUST will pull through, and we can get all of the charm and atmosphere of the old Atelier games and then some.
