How on earth can a game be this beautiful?

Other exciting things about this game:

• little red-haired girl with sword!
• "a gorgeous homage to classic 16-bit RPGs like Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger" 
• "a script carefully written in the form of poetry"
• "playing co-op is especially cool. One player is Aurora (the young girl who’s the main character) while the other is Igniculus, a glowing blue orb. Each one is completely different."
• "a deep skill tree for each character in your party"

Wow, that looks gorgeous! *_*

I did a little more research!

Apparently Ubisoft (the company making Child of Light) has something called the Ubi-Art Framework:

"The idea was to create an engine with tools powerful enough that we could take a drawing from an artist, render it in an engine, and play it," says Xavier Poix, managing director of Ubisoft’s French studios in Montpellier, Annecy and Paris."

And it's not very expensive to make all these games with all sorts of different art styles! So cool.
