Savant: Ascent launched last year on PC, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, and the D-Pad Studios developed game is now heading to PlayStation 4 as well (via PlayStation Blog).
Here's a bit of background on how the game came to be:
"Music and style is what the game is all about! Savant in real life is an electronic musician, and in the game you play as Savant as he appears on Savant's 5th album cover, designed by our art director, Simon S. Andersen.
Our team has been close friends with Savant for a long time, and last summer we decided that:
- We should create a game together
- We'd use Savant's music and Simon's characters as inspiration
cdLoop We ended up with a beat-pumping dodge-and-shoot action game, stylised to fit with Savant's tracks. Tracks could be unlocked, giving you an introduction to Savant's music, and also acting as powerful upgrades. This makes you feel like nothing can stop you once you get the hang of things."
Now, let's hope D-Pad Studios can finish that Owlboy game as well... Soon!
