German developer Daedalic Entertainment announces development of Deponia, a third upcoming adventure game from the folks at work on The Whispered World and an English version of Edna & Harvey: The Breakout. The announcement is accompanied by some Deponia screenshots, and here's a bit from the press release:

Deponia is a fast-paced comedy of errors and one of the most unusual love stories in gaming history. The twist-filled story takes its off-beat characters all over trash planet Deponia, a unique game world in the style of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Matt Groening. From Kuvaq, an improvised village built inside a giant trash heap, to the swimming black market and the dark corners of the elevated planetary railways: Deponia is brought to life with detailed hand-painted backgrounds in widescreen format and top-quality cartoon animation.
