The fabled Project O is revealed! Full details inside...

For those of you who never heard about it, Project O was anounced a few months ago as a game made by the seven samurai of the gaming development world with names such as Hideo Minaba (art director on Final Fantasy XII), Kazuyuki Kurashima (designer of Moon and Endnesia), Youichi Kawaguchi (main programmer on Dragon Quest VIII) and Yoshirou Kimura (Moon, Chulip) developing. Yesterday, japanese magazine Famitsu revealed the first screens of the game along with details and the official game title: Ousama Monogatari (King Story)

Developed by Cing (Another Code / Hotel Dusk), Town Factory and Marvelous Interactive (Harvest Moon, Rune Factory), King Story puts you in the royal shoes of a King that must lead and develop his country, make sure people work to that effect and the usual royal stuff. However, this isn't a simple God game, since it also has many RPG and simulation elements with beasts that threaten your kingdom and must be defeated and characters with individual personalities. Basically, inside your domain you must build and outside you must destroy!

The game features a peculiar art style with cute characters mixed with an old Europe-like world. Our sister site Jeux-France has scans of the Famitsu pages right here. The Wii title is expected in the next year, so stay tuned for more on the Dream Team game!
