New background images from Mozart can be seen on clubic.com here.

The description of these screenshots is below, translated by Google Translate + Becky:



You can check out the website (in French) here. No word yet about an English language release.

Thanks Carla!

I like the enviroment of the game, kind of mysterious.
Looking forward to hear more about it, interesting!

Thanks Becky and Carla

The screenshots look lovely, hope an English version is coming soon

I am really looking forward to this game! The screenshots are looking great, I agree. I like how they are taking actual environments in Prague and fitting them to the late 18th century, so that it is like being in Mozart's time. Really looking forward to this game.

I would like to see some screenshots that don't have as dark of tone though.

Wow, beautiful images! I love this time period and will have to get this game just so I can imagine myself living in this gorgeous house! sigh....

It looks all right. The first images we saw looked a lot better. And, this line:



...is marketing drivel. These background are no different from the 2D painted backgrounds we've enjoyed for 20 years. A matte painting is nothing more than a 2D backdrop, so I don't understand why they'd try to differentiate. Unless there's something lost in translation, this is pure propaganda.

EDIT:

After watching the trailer, it looks like they are combining the panoramic faux 3D techniques used in the later Myst game and Scratches with a 3rd person perspective. The characters appear to be 2D animated sprites which started out as 3D models and feature a large number of animation frames which makes them look like realtime 3D models on 2D backgrounds (but they're simply good old fashioned 2D). This is the same technique used in the Runaway games.

That bed room scenes seems to feature a rotating, pivot camera, but it's obviously not a realtime 3D level which alerts me to the Myst/Scratches background style with the 3rd person perspective. Perhaps, this is what they meant by matte paintings, but that's not really an appropriate term.

Since I buy my games on screenshots...This game looks Great !!

Thanks Becky & Carla..
Hope an English version comes out soon

Anyone heard anymore news on this game?
I'm interested since it's an Historical style game.
Loved Cleopatra, Nostradamus and others of that ilk.

to GameBoomers akhenaten. It's posted as it's found and I don't see any new news around, I'm afraid. As soon as it is though, I am sure Becky or Carla will be right on it.

Thanks Ana!
Welcome to the forum Akhenaten, as Ana said no news for Mozart yet, the releasing date is still Q4, hopefully we'll have more news soon.

Thanks Ladies, for the warm welcome and the info.
