Wow! JD, you and your team's creative output reminds me of how a band of really
good musicians who've come to know their instruments and recording equipment all the better after years of practice and performance can produce something completely different and unique from what their beginning strides sounded like. And, personally, I like this; your new stuff, very much!
I only flinched when the robo-cat was electrocuted. That moment reminded me of the "Haluz" Flash game [http://haluz.eu/] in which one has to maneuver a snake to eat a mouse in order to cross a chasm to progress in the game.
Don't get me wrong, I full well understand that it's the way of the world: "something is always eating or being eaten"... or killed. I just never thought... well... let's just say that this clip makes it crystal clear that "Machinarium" is obviously
not going to be anything like some sort of "Samorost 3".
It'll be something entirely unique and brand new.
(and I can hardly wait for the finished product!)
