Child of Light is one of those games that defends the “games as art” argument pretty cleanly. Today we’ve got a “making of” video that sits down with the development team to talk a little bit about how this unique title was made. Haven’t heard of Child of Light? Here’ s a nibble from the team:

Inspired by watercolor artwork from the Golden Age of Illustration, Child of Light takes players on an extraordinary journey through the mystical world of Lemuria. Check out the trailer for a behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration for the art of Child of Light.

Child of Light will be available to download for $14.99 on PC, Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U on April 30th.
