Amsterdam
See some new paintings of 1666: Amsterdam and see how this version of Amsterdam has changed over the centuries
Even with many feeling as they do about 1666: Amsterdam based on the demo that is out there after the announcement, it does look as if we shouldn't write the game off as of yet. It was an early part of the game, and Panache Digital Games still has more to put into the full title and not just the prologue that players have played on the PC. Knowing that there's more to come for 1666: Amsterdam, it's time for us all to have a look at the next behind-the-scenes video for the game to see how the world has been brought to life. Brought to life over the eras and the various inspirations that the team leaned into to make sure it felt correct over the centuries. All coming from a place some might not think to look at for a game like this. That would be various painting styles from over the course of human history.
As odd as that all sounds, you can see it in great motion for 1666: Amsterdam. With each of the different eras we'll experience in the game leaning into the art style of the times. Not only that, but also with the various animations and care taken to see the NPCs, world, and lighting to all come to life using the elements of the time. Subtle thing as well. Things like characters' hand placements to fit society, and how dancing seems to have devolved over the years when you look at it. One fun touch that you can see here for 1666: Amsterdam is that they also took some of the basic motion capture between shots and used them as some of the idle animations. Specifically, the motions of characters who are in uncomfortable clothes and need to adjust themselves for comfort. Anyone who's done the cosplay or worn the garb to a faire will know the feeling, and it's a fun little touch that the team thought the game needed. Have a look and see just what I'm talking about if you're not in the know about all of that.
