Players in the new trailer for Tchia, an upcoming indie game, can take the form of almost anything they can think of. It was shown at The Game Awards in 2021. This is the second game made by the New Caledonia-based indie game developer Awaceb. It’s a sandbox game with a tropical island theme. A lot of people have said that Tchia has a lot of the same game mechanics as big video games like Breath of the Wild. Now that there is a new trailer, people are again interested in the video game.
Another interesting thing about Tchia is that the player can play the ukulele. The player can use the controls to choose chords with their mouse to make a song. It’s possible to get new melodies as you play through the game. These melodies can help you on your journey, and they can change the world of the game in different ways. Tchia can play certain melodies on the ukulele to attract animals and even make it rain. In September, it was thought that Tchia’s ukulele gameplay was made in the same way as the guitar gameplay mechanic in The Last of Us Part II. Later, the composer of Tchia said that the ukulele music control system was made by Aweceb before The Last of Us Part II even showed it. Hence, Tchia’s playable ukulele was not made because of The Last of Us Part II.
The new trailer for Tchia, which was shown at the 2021 Game Awards, shows gameplay where the player can control any object or animal in the game. The trailer first shows the main character steering a raft, climbing the face of a cliff, making a lantern explode to show a hidden cave with a treasure chest, and gliding across the landscape. This is the first part of the movie. Another example of gameplay is when the main character takes control of a flying bird with a mystical green light. This is a mechanic that has been shown in previous trailers. However, the new footage shows that this magical power isn’t just for living things, as it was thought. Tchia can also be seen as a lantern. This is similar to how Cappy was able to be captured in Super Mario Odyssey.
Even though this new trailer confirms that players can control the things and animals around them, the trailer also talks more about how the game has influenced culture. There is a game that Awaceb has said is based on New Caledonia. There are a lot of tropical plants and animals in the game, which shows that New Caledonia has a lot of cultural influence. There is also a lot of Native American life in this game, as well as Native American music and even Native American language. Voiced by people who live in the area, the main characters speak traditional languages with subtitles so that people from different backgrounds can understand what is being said.
It looks like the developers have kept the theme of the player’s home at the heart of Tchia. When will Tchia come out? We don’t know for sure yet, but the trailer shows that it will come out in Spring 2022. A lot of people who like indie games and people from New Caledonia will be happy that the game will be out soon.
