BLACKSAD: Under the Skin developers have wanted to make a game adaptation since 2011

The BLACKSAD franchise may not be all that well-known here in the states, but its been quite the hit in other portions of the world. The comic debuted all the way back in 2000, and has pulled in millions of fans, and multiple awards since then. Among the fans are the team at Pendulo Studios, the developers of BLACKSAD: Under the Skin.

Microids has shared an interview with some of the team at Pendulo to promote the release of BLACKSAD: Under the Skin. In that interview, we find out just how deep Pendulo's passion for the series runs.

“There are a lot of fans of the comic-book in our team. In fact, we dreamed of making a Blacksad game as early as 2011. We made humorous games for more than 15 years, but with the Yesterday saga, we’ve moved to the thriller genre and introduced a more mature atmosphere and content. In addition, Yesterday and Yesterday Origins both have a very pronounced cartoon look. Blacksad matched perfectly with the new direction in which we had been incurred. We had already studied American and French film noir for Yesterday, but with Blacksad: Under the Skin, we focused on American’s novels and movies of the 50’s and especially the recurring character of the novelist Raymond Chandler, Phillip Marlowe, who most people remember as the actor Humphrey Bogart. His look and attitude were for us an obvious starting point for John Blacksad, even if the character undergoes some evolution, whether in comics or in the game.”
