Stage 1. Creating outfits

Our initial task was to create outfits for the finished characters. At that time, the game was in the demo stage and had 2 ready-made characters. Our 2D artists created and rendered outfits in accordance with the brief and sketches provided by the client.

Stage 2. Creating 2D characters

After successfully completing work on several outfits, the client offered a larger job – creating characters from scratch. For each of the characters, we had to create 4 outfits, the components of which could be combined and form new outfits.

Stage 3. Creating cinematics

In addition to working on static art, the client requested the creation of cinematics. To do this, we connected 2D animators to work. The specifics of cinematics required animators to pay special attention to the characters' hands and emotions, which change depending on the narrative component.
