The idea for the film began in 2005 when Hui-who was living in Hollywood at that time-approached producer Bill Kong on the possibility of making an animated movie in China. In an interview with the South China Morning Post he said that while overseeing sequences for the Gingerbread Man character in Shrek, he daydreamed about animating a character from a Hong Kong bakery, a Pineapple Bun Man. Hui had long wanted to produce a movie in China. Raman Hui directed film which is his first live action directorial debut The message in the film is to understand and accept differences, to see the world through others' perspective and to foster more understanding between people and groups. The main theme in Monster Hunt, according to Hui is acceptance (similar to the Shrek series which Hui was involved in). The story begins with Song Tianyin, an unnerved young village mayor who becomes pregnant with the Monster Queen's baby, and he encounters an aspiring Monster-hunter named Huo Xiaolan, and they both embark on an adventure to protect the baby from villains of the Human and Monster worlds alike. Recently, a civil war took place in the Monster Realm which resulted in the usurpation of the Monster King's throne from a treacherous minister, who later sought the Monster Queen and her unborn baby, and the Monster Queen fled to the Human Realm. They once shared the world in peace and harmony until the Humans drove the Monsters out from their home, for they sought total dominion over their lands. The film takes place in ancient China, where the Humans existed alongside the Monsters. 6.1.1 Controversy over box office performance.I havenât played the Recut version yet, but if all it does is add controller support and improved graphics to the original, it would still be a strong recommendation for platform gaming fans. And at the same time, the existence of console ports means Paper Monsters Recut already supports game controllers.Ĭontroller support gets a literal thumbs-up from the developer ( Source: played the original iOS Paper Monsters, and I enjoyed it greatly. The base level of iOS device performance has drastically improved since Paper Monsters was released, and thanks to Metal, modern A7 and A8 devices are perfectly capable of running the same high-level effects of its console brothers. Your user agent does not support the video element This improved version was released on those platforms as Paper Monsters Recut. Still, when it came time to port Paper Monsters to PC and console, developer Mobot and publisher Crescent Moon Games had a lot of headroom to improve graphical effects and detail. Itâs 2.5D graphics were pleasantly designed. Paper Monsters wasnât a bad looking game for 2012. Paper Monsters Recut, a âremasteredâ version of a previously-released iOS platforming classic, will be released soon with full MFi controller support. Controller support is already confirmed even if that was the only addition to the original game, I’d give it a strong recommendation. I’ve been looking forward to Paper Monsters Recut for a long time now. Touch Arcade has a great hands-on gameplay video of the upcoming remaster of classic iOS platformer Paper Monsters, as well as a release date: March 12th. GDC 2015: ‘Hands-On with Paper Monsters Recut’ I was planning to sit back, relax, and enjoy Paper Monsters Recut tonight, but it seems that will have to wait for now. Which is also, of course bad news for gamers hoping to play those games. This outage is has already cost Apple tens of millions of dollars in App revenue, and is potentially far worse news for developers hoping to release their games today. The stores have been down for over 8 hours now, with no news from Apple about what happened or when it will be corrected.Ĭonsidering that Appleâs System Status page didnât even report the outage until several hours after it first occurred, Iâm not holding out much hope for an explanation. The App Store, iTunes Store, iBook Store, and iTunes Radio are all currently offline. Wednesday, traditionally ânew release dayâ to the world of iOS gamers, is off to a rough start. Developers are reporting that some back-end functionality is still unavailable, but for most users, it seems the problem is addressed. Regarding the App Store Outage (Updated) UpdateĪpple’s system status page is reporting that everything is back online now. While a full review will have to wait until I get some real time with this game, I was a big fan of the first version, and have no qualms at all about recommending this remastering to any platforming game fans out there. I haven’t had a chance to dig into this version yet, but I’ll be changing that tonight. Paper Monsters Recut, the remastered, controller-supported rerelease of the iOS classic Paper Monsters, is now available on the App Store!
