There have been several independent games experimenting with hand-drawn visuals lately. A while ago I mentioned the as-yet-unsigned Wii project Pollen Sonata, the trailer for which features a sequence of animated pencil drawings. Now, here's a more modest browser game, Miestas, programmed by 'Teshla and Jurgis'.
Miestas looks as though it has been cobbled together from smudged scrap paper and magazine cuttings - it's a sort of home craft/DIY aesthetic that also permeates LittleBigPlanet's customisable ragdoll characters.
Has the growing scrap book/craft culture hit gaming? Will we be virtually knitting avatars from now on, rather than selecting costumes and skins tones from a boring menu system?
