Polytron Partners Revealed; “Panoramical” is First Project

This morning, at the conclusion of the Horizon indie conference, Proteus producer David Kanaga took the stage to show off a live demo of his upcoming game Panoramical , which was first teased two years ago at Indiecade 2012.

which was first teased two years ago at Indiecade 2012. Kanaga also announced his and co-developer Fernando Ramallo’s new partnerships with Fez developer Polytron and Canabalt developer Finji Games. Defined as a “digital anthology of musical landscapes with analog controls,” the live demo of Panoramical was controlled by playing a MIDI keyboard to dynamically alter the world and audioscape in real-time with each musical key.

Last year at the Horizon conference, Polytron head Phil Fish announcedonly to loudly cancel the game and subsequently exit the games industry a short month later. After wrapping up development on a number of ports of the original Fez , Fish pursued a career in music, occasionally appearing as a DJand posting his beats on Twitter, so the new collaboration with Finji Games makes all kinds of sense.

In a blog post, Fish announced that his studio Polytron is making the jump to start a partnership label (somewhat like ‘Double Fine Presents’; not a publishing label), and will be helping promote Panoramical as it nears its push to a 2015 release.

Panoramical is slated for a PC Release via Steam in early 2015. We’ll have more on Panoramical and Polytron Partners in the future.
