BlindGiRl’s visuals combine the procedurally generated graphics of wave propagation and echolocation with the original, hand drawn illustrations of Elly Walton.
Elly is an established illustrator working with UK & overseas clients including The Guardian, The Independent, The Times, The Big Issue, FHM, PC Pro, Macformat, and Sky amongst many others. Her unique and wonderful style was one that we really liked and thought would fit the BlindGiRl project perfectly.

Following up TechnologoDoom’s excellent review of BlindGiRl, The Autonomous Regime union from the Gamespot forums asked us for a Q&A, which we were happy to do. They asked us some very interesting questions, so read the full interview at The Autonomous Regime over at Gamespot.
The Microsoft XNA Game Creators Club have done a spotlight interview with GLPeas, where we talk about BlindGiRl and our previous game, Carcophony. We explain some of our reasoning behind the games we make, and our experiences of the indie development process.

From time to time, BlindGiRl will find Ruby Slippers. Their importance is significant, but are they to be used, or avoided? How can they help her find her way out of her confusion?
BlindGiRl’s visual style is as unique as the gameplay. As with GLPeas’ previous game, Carcophony, we concentrated on simple, characterful graphics and avoided expending huge amounts of effort on things like fancy 3D animations or super-detailed textures which add nothing to gameplay and everything to development time.
