Snake, a snake, oooh, it'a snake
My blog engine decided not to save my lengthy note on Dwarf Fortress and my browser decided to crash (seriously, what is wrong with Firefox these days?), so instead of dwarves and axes, today we will have swords and snakes- both making appearance in the indie game in making called Nidhogg.
I actually knew without checking that Nidhogg is a mythical creature of Norse legends, a giant snake living in the roots of the World Tree - but that's just because I have read Thorgal comics as a kid. What I didn't know, however, was that it was actually a dragon and also - that it was a sword name, which explains the title of the game. Ah, yes, the game.
Developed by Meshof, indie developer already known to indie gaming world, Nidhogg is shaping up to be a sword fighting simulator. It looks like something that would come out of crossing Prince of Persia and a post stamp infused with LSD (just look at these clouds!). You can read more about the game on the project webpage and be sure to have a look at the trailer - even if the game turns out to be crap, the trailer alone is a contribution to world cultural heritage. Yes, it is that good.
