A year ago, we discussed an upcoming Wii U 3D platformer called Fiona Frightening and the Wicked Wardrobe.
Fiona Frightening isn’t ready to be released yet, as the developers are still gathering demo funds through an art commission project, but the official Facebook page used this month to highlight “turnaround” art to show the enemies, Monsdresses, and other characters from all sides.
Here’s Waxworth, a ghostly knight voiced by Linkara.
Waxworth may be my favorite, but you can check out the rest of the Fiona Frightening art on the Facebook page. Many characters have been featured all month long, and more are still being revealed.
So, what’s this about art commissions?
The creators of Fiona Frightening intend to release a playable demo before the Kickstarter begins. However, they need funds to create the demo, and they’ve decided to raise them through art commissions. You can commission artwork of any Fiona Frightening character for $10, and the artwork will not only be released now, but also appear in the in-game gallery.
We’ve seen a small resurgence of 3D platformers lately, and this sounds like one of the most intriguing. If you want to bring us a step closer to getting a playable demo (maybe even in time to give us something spooky to play for Halloween), commission some art or just spread the word about Fiona Frightening and the Wicked Wardrobe.
