Jenova Chen, creator of Flower and Journey, IGN's 2012 Game of the Year , has been working quietly and diligently with his team at thatgamecompany ever since on Sky

In the video above (which showcases work-in-progress footage recorded on iOS), the renowned developer walks you through the concept and design thinking behind Sky, which debuted in September at Apple's iPhone event and will premiere on the App Store before coming to other formats at a later date.

We'll have more from Sky in the next week or two as this month's IGN First highlights a game you may not have been keeping your eye on...until now!
