DELVING DEEPER INTO JETT
Delve deeper into JETT: The Far Shore and get a sense for how it plays in this new clip that debuted on the July 8th 2021 PlayStation State of Play broadcast.
Commentary in this clip is from Craig D. Adams, founder of Superbrothers A/V and creative lead on JETT: The Far Shore. In this clip you'll get ears on more of JETT's stellar musical score, composed by maestro Scnfc.
The JETT squad, a constellation of contributors and vendors scattered across the planet, came together on this clip and this project. Of note for now: this clip was shaped, captured and edited by videogame trailer scholar Derek Lieu. This clip's audio, as well as JETT's audio generally, has been bolstered by the fine folks at A Shell In The Pit.
For a little more context about the clip, head on over to the PlayStation Blog where JETT designer/producer Randy Smith talks about the project's design and how that fancy PS5 DualSense controller feels.
“In JETT, we’ve used the controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to immerse you in the vast world of the far shore and in the pilot’s seat of your jett: the nuance of walking on foot over different types of terrain, the feel of your jett as it pounces through aerobatic maneuvers, the pull of the trigger as you lay on the surge, and of course crucial gameplay feedback like the buzz of your scramjets starting to destabilize when you push them to their limits.”
Superbrothers A/V, Pine Scented and Scntfc are very grateful to everyone on the JETT squad, as well as the fine folks at PlayStation and Epic Games, for helping us to make this videogame dream a reality.
It's a thrill for JETT to be resurfacing in the clip above and in the pages of Edge Magzine (below), a little over a year after the project's reveal in the PlayStation 5 Showcase of June 2020.
If you're eager to delve deeper into JETT, or if you'd like to contemplate #sworcery, seek out Edge Magazine #360, on newsstands as of this writing.
This issue of Edge goes in-depth on JETT, with world exclusive first hands-on impressions, plenty of material from co-creators and contributors, a wealth of production artwork, as well as a very fancy cover featuring a portrait of JETT's protagonist Mei by Sam Bradley (link), who was on deck for visual concepts and art direction on JETT from 2019 to 2021. Look below for wallpapers of this artwork.
This issue also looks back at Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, ten years later, with interview material from the project's co-creators, including Nathan Vella, Kris Piotrowski, Jim Guthrie and Craig D. Adams.
It was a bona fide thrill for us all to talk to Edge's Chris Schilling for the articles, and to work with Edge's art director Andrew Hind for the layouts.
The issue's a beauty! Seek it out while it's available.
If you miss it in the shops, here are other options:
Edge 360 is in UK shops now, and can also be ordered for delivery via Magazines Direct. To buy the issue digitally, head to Apple’s App Store or PocketMags.
Alongside all of the above, it's a profound pleasure to announce JETT's production has wound down and the stars are now aligning for our 2021 deployment to PlayStation and PC.
It's almost time for us to embark together, and we're genuiniely thrilled at the prospect of delivering this distinctive DIY science fiction epic to y'all soon.
For now, please consider wishlisting JETT on the PlayStation Store or the Epic Games Store, and hop on the JETT email bulletin at JETT.fyi, and/or follow @jettxyz on Twitter - we'll be in touch with new details soon enough.
