The Art of Jusant - The Great Expedition

by Marine Macq

Développé par le talentueux studio français Don’t Nod, à qui l’on doit notamment la série Life Is Strange , Jusant est un jeu vidéo atypique servi par une narration poétique, un univers dépaysant inspiré de l’oeuvre de Moebius et un rythme contemplatif.

Voyage ô combien déroutant, Jusant se dévoile dans un artbook making-of incluant de nombreux documents de conception et témoignages. Un ouvrage inédit et passionnant sur les coulisses d’une des productions françaises les plus singulières de ces dernières années.

Absolutely fantastic. This is the benchmark by which all other "the art of..." books should be judged. Tons of early and unused concept art, narrative decisions, in-depth statements from collaborators and design leads- in-depth is the best description for this book. The illustrations are great and the format showcases the creativity of the teams.

The text is in French and English, but managed to avoid the formatting pitfalls that you see sometimes with multilingual books. I cannot say enough good things about this one, it had everything I look for in an art book. The author's name is Marine Macq by the way.

Long after Jusant is technologically obsolescent and unplayable, I'll have this book to remember it by.
