Vokabulantis and the Language Barrier: How It Broke Through
April 19th - via: techraptor.net
It's hard to understate just how important language is. It's used to express love, confusion, anger, and sometimes even used to prove a point. Imagine how hard this sentence would be to read fi ti saw sdrawkcab? Vokabulantis, the new co-op game from Morten Søndergaard, Kong Orange, and Wired Fly, attempts to add a stop-motion style to a moving story about language and, if its Kickstarter is anything to go by, they’ve started on the right animated foot.

'Vokabulantis' turns photogrammetry and stop-motion into a poetic platformer
April 9th - via: engadget.com
There’s something special about Vokabulantis. At first glance, it doesn’t look like a video game at all, with hand-built puppets clambering up deliciously detailed sets, limbs as slender and fluid as those in Coraline or The Nightmare Before Christmas. However, the environments in Vokabulantis look slightly different from classic stop-motion movies — gritty and tactile, yet static and matte. It’s hard to put into words, which is entirely perfect.

Vokabulantis is A Stop Motion Video Game Being Funded on Kickstarter
April 5th - via: gamerant.com
Much like the action co-op platformer It Takes Two, Vokabulantis is meant to be played by two people, assuming the role of a couple who can no longer communicate after their words are taken away. Now, they must restore peace to Vokabulantis and figure out how to express their feelings for one another. Vokabulantis is largely about language, beginning just as the two are confessing their feelings for one another. (Read More)

Word goes out of a Kickstarter campaign for Vokabulantis
March 19th - via: adventuregamers.com
Stop motion is a slow, painstaking, and therefore expensive process to do and do well, which is why we rarely see it employed in video games. If enough fans are willing to support it through crowdfunding, however, we could have another such game on the horizon in the form of Vokabulantis, a "love-driven" puzzle-platformer that can be played solo or cooperatively with a partner.
