11-11: Memories Retold is a game that is partly being worked on by Aardman, and we actually spoke to two people from Aardman - George Rowes and Dan Effergan - at Gamescom this week, where we asked about not only the art style, but how they got on board with the project in the first place.

"We always wanted to do something different," Rowes explained. "I think Yoan [Fanise] originally was imagining kind of a living painting, basically was one of the first things he said, and at the very beginning we explored a few different art styles as well, because we wanted it to be kind of grounded in the art of the time of World War One, sort of the birth of modernism and postmodernism in art, so we tried impressionism stuff which we're kind of loosely based on now, but we also tried a few like cubist, futurist roots as well, how would that work within the World War One context? But then as soon as you do that things start to look low-poly and things, which had obviously been done quite a lot, so that's how we ended up going with the painterly look."

"It's narrative and story where it feels like this is right," Effergan added, "and telling something that purpose, telling something that has integrity and is honest is actually the heart that feels more Aardman-y, even more so than the art style."

Do you like the visual style in this game?

11-11: Memories Retold

REVIEW. Written by Sam Bishop

"11-11 is a wonderful tribute to a nightmarish conflict, but there's a lot that makes this stand out aside from that fact."
