"Epic Mickey" Computer Game In The Works?

Rumors are abound in the gaming world that an "Epic Mickey Mouse" game is being developed by the Disney-owned Junction Point Studios.

Gamasutra has seen concept art and information that indicates a title codenamed "Epic Mickey" may be in development at the Austin-based, Disney-owned developer.

Concept art from early versions of the game that we viewed showed mockups of the potential game's environment, including pencil sketches of cities assembled from junk.

Another sketch included a surreal seashore invasion scene, in which machines wearing the faces of the Seven Dwarfs deposit old-fashioned renditions of Disney characters onto the beach with mechanical hands.


This would be interesting. I haven't bought any games for the past several years since I'm not a big gamer (still playing the very old and outdated "Alpha Centauri", which is still my most favorite game). But with a "Epic Mickey" game? I might just get that even for the curiosity factor.

Zz.
