In the video, below, Frozenbyte gives fans a glimpse at concept art for the Trine series, giving some context to what players see as a finished product. There’s also quick look at two work in progress boss battles. As mentioned, the video also details the real-world inspiration for Trine 4’s art.
Drawing inspiration from Finland’s stunning wilderness, Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince’s lush environments deliver an enchanting array of surreal vistas.
But, the beauty of these vibrant lands is overcast by Prince Selius’ evocations, which are spreading a foreboding, violet-tinted darkness with their menacing presence.
After a dalliance with 3D in Trine 3, Trine 4 marks a return to 2D side-scrolling for the franchise. The latest entry allows for four-player co-op and includes dynamically shifting puzzles based on how many people are playing.
