The Unfinished Swan
References: iandallas & todayandtomorrow.net
The Unfinished Swan is an unusual name for an intriguing painting game set in a completely white (or black) world. The players shoot paint balls in order to negotiate a garden and city. The paint splatters, as can be seen in the tech demo, “light” the way and help orient the player around objects and walls. It’s paintball, but without the violence or the mess!
The creator is Los Angeles-based Ian Dallas, who hopes to continue moving the game’s development along with a hopeful release by March 2009.
