KeezNah Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 SCRIBBLENAUTS "If you can think it, you can write it!" Platform: Nintendo DS, yo Developer: 5th Cell (responsible for Lock's Quest and Drawn to Life) Publisher: Undecided at this moment (please be THQ please be THQ please be THQ) Genre: Platformer/Puzzle In an interview with IGN's Mark Bozon, 5th Cell co-founder and creative director Jeremiah Slaczka reveals it all: Scribblenauts is about creation and imagination really. It's our biggest DS title to date, and after spending a lot of time on Lock's Quest and on Drawn to Life, we ended up learning a lot. This is the culmination of everything we've learned as far as understanding how DS works, working visually, technically, and everything along those lines from concept to execution. What Scribblenauts is about in a nutshell is basically "Anything you write, you can use." That's where the concept really came from. It's the idea of "What if you had all these puzzles, and in order to solve them you can write anything; the limit is your imagination." How you do that is through this character Maxwell. As Maxwell you have to grab in-level objects called Starites, and to do that you can write anything you want, and it'll spawn that object. So if there's a Starite in the tree, you could write "ladder" and then a ladder would spawn. Climb up the ladder, and you grab the Starite. There're more ways of doing it though obviously. You could write "axe", and then cut the tree down using the object you spawned. You could write "shuriken" and throw that at the Starite in the tree and knock it down. It's all based on real physics and interaction, so there's nothing pre-canned. You could write anything though; imagine you write "goldfish" for some reason, well a goldfish would spawn and sit on the ground. It wouldn't help you at all in that puzzle, but you could do it. I want to believe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Oh, and apparently you can't use adjectives. But combining two objects together is possible, according to Jackson at least.

Aftrunner Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Oh I was gonna post about this (read about it over at EG). The video looks really cool. Its really an awesome concept and even if they pull off a fraction of what they are aiming for this could be the game (along with CT) that makes me buy a DS again.

Bulovski Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 this is one DS title i've been waiting for eagerly. however, the information has been few and far between for the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 What else do you really need to know, though? Reading previews are the only source of info you get, and even then, the best impressions are the ones you get from forum users. Other than that, its your duty, yes YOUR GODDAMN DUTY to pimp this muthafugga, am I getting to you on any of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnackChap Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 got this from NG I had played all the big titles at E3. Private showings of God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake. But at 4:00 on Thursday, I was wondering around the show floor, wondering what else I had to see. I saw a small little booth for "Scribblenauts!" in the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment section. I mean, who goes to that booth? But I remember hearing about it on GAF, and so I decided to check it out. Best game of E3? Without a f**king doubt. Anyone who says otherwise did not play Scribblenauts. Best game of all time? Jesus Christ, I don't know, maybe. It's a game that challenges your IMAGINATION. No other game has ever done that. So listen to this story. I was in the early levels; I didn't quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was. I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn't work, a torch didn't work, a pickaxe didn't work. In my frustration, I wrote in "Time Machine". And one popped up. What the f**k? A smile dawned on my face. I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were f**king dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a f**king DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the sh*t out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I f**kING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERf**kING ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There's nothing you can't do. Holy f**king sh*t. OMG. when's this releasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulovski Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 nope - this takes fun into a whole new level together. i am sure some horny kid will come up with a mod to add more than two nymphs on the screen, and then the DS will get a portable God of War. AC2 - draw a hangglider and we're all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
