TRON: Legacy and the lack of time prevented the development of the adventure from ending up bearing fruit.
After close to 30 years of collaboration, the group Daft punk He surprised the world yesterday by announcing his separation and leaving a big gap among fans of electronic music. In his legacy there are already important songs for popular culture such as Get Lucky or One More Time as well as the soundtrack of TRON: Legacy, the Walt Disney Studios film, and it could also be his collaboration with a video game of a puzzle saga that in fact even had a code name: Daft punk lumines.
They did not want to use their old music nor did they have time for new songsJames MielkeThe story behind this failed project, which ended up leading to Lumines Electronic Symphony, takes us to the beginning of the last decade, when Ubisoft gave the green light to develop a new title for the series that was to have the French duo as its central premise . “I thought that a good way to avoid criticism of ‘it’s just another Lumines with new music and other skins’ was to focus on a specific artist, and what better way to do that than Daft Punk, who had clearly overcome the obstacles that surround musical performances, “explained Q Entertainment’s James Mielke in an interview with Gamasutra published several years ago.
Daft Punk Lumines was going to put the player inside the legendary pyramid of lights of the electronic music group, having to perform different combos to get the maximum approval of the public. On the other hand, all aspects of the game were going to be strongly influenced by the work of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, from the menus to, obviously, the soundtrack of the title.
Unfortunately, the French group in those years had their full schedule. “Though communication with Daft Punk was good, they did not want to use their old music nor did they have time to compose new “, explains the developer, recalling that at that time Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter were working on the soundtrack of TRON: Legacy at full capacity.
Lumines Electronic Symphony for PS Vita
Mielke adds that from Q Entertainment could not stand still and they advanced to what would end up being the Lumines Electronic Symphony. It hit stores in 2012 for PS Vita and, in the words of colleague Alberto Pastor, it was a really addictive proposition, as much or more fun than the previous title in the series released on PSP.
