In his recent
mammoth sized Destructoid interview, Luc Bernard eluded to the fact that his upcoming game Eternity's Child has gained some additional game play elements in the process of making the jump from XBLA to WiiWare, but at the time he didn't get into the details of what those elements would be. Well, today the little French/English tease has finally put out, if only just a little.
Luc's latest (and perhaps greatest) Destructoid Community Blog contains info on not only a new playable character, but those new WiiWare specific game play mechanics as well. I just contacted Luc for some additional info on this development, and was told specifically by Luc to"Blog it right now, before Kotaku does! I just sent them an email" So forgive me if these seems rushed.
In Eternity's Child, you'll control the game's central character Angel with the analog stick on the Wii-Nunchuck. With the Wii-Remote, you will control an on-screen cursor, that big weird heart with wings. By pressing one of the buttons on the Wii-Remote (Luc didn't tell me which), you can signal to Angel's female friend shown in the pick below to throw (Luc's words, not mine) at what ever the heart shaped cursor is aimed at. The girl side kick will be at Angel's side through out the entirety of the game.
Luc, coy as always, is currently unwilling to tell us what this female co-protagonist's name will be, but I have a hunch that it'll be Rose. Don't ask me why. So in summation, Eternity's Child will allow for a sort of make shift co-op experience, not dissimilar that found in Super Mario Galaxy. One player could hold the Wii-Nunchuck to control Angel, the other the Wii-Remote to control the heart and "Rose". Not bad for a $5 game.
Oh, and it looks like Luc is also having a
little popularity contest for his characters right now. I personally think he's doing this to help him decide which of those characters will appear in an upcoming Luc Bernard game, or maybe even as a secret character in Eternity's Child. Just me guessing here folk. I promise. If you are at all interested in his games, drop Luc a comment or a suggestion. He listens to his fans. Trust me on this, I know from experience. Via

Damn, not multiplayer -_-
Lol. DEMOTED
lol, wut is this?
Havent you been here long enough to know to use BBC? LOL :D
This is another instance of minorities being disadvantaged. We need to unite to lift up all Americans.
CHANGE!
Barack Obama, I oppose to your argument as this game is yet to prove itself not violent.
I could go for a Tab right now.
'cause you a 40 year old woman?
Wasn't this just on the front page? I is confused.
yes
This Reaprar/Luc Bernard fued is quite entertaining.
Reaprar vs Luc Bernard war = Win, mostly because it's so one sided. Luc posts news about his games, and Reaprar jumps into the comments with constant, unprovoked attacks. Then, Luc hits on him.
Only on Destuctoid.
And Reaprar, it's not my job to debate with you, little buddy, and of course you have the right to be as dumb as you want. But I'm just saying, your constant " inightful critiques" of Luc's work, such "It's emo! You suck!" and "It sucks! You're Emo!" are totally worthless, especially seeing as you are not an artist yourself. They're are funny, don't get me wrong, but not because I'm laughing with you, but rather because I'm laughing at you. And I don't think I'm the only one.
But don't take it too personally. We all make jack asses out of ourselves occasionally.
Speaking of which, I'm off to fix this BBCode fail.

Seriously...what the fucking hell?
Too far luc.THAT WAS TOO FAR MAN!
Hehe
Reaprar-
Now that's what I'm talking about.
Fight Luc's gay attacks with titties!
The fact that luc is doing what he is doing is fantastic. Don't get me wrong.
But do we really need a C-blog about a C-Blog? I mean seriously? This is a tad ridiculous.
Reaprar : Shut up.
lol: internet fight
You wrote a c-blog about a c-blog?
hmm, How come it's not on the front page anymore?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I had thought earlier in the game's development that the female character was actually a transwoman. I was rather hoping that would still be in there.
