every frame of this trailer was boarded, modeled, and painstakingly hand-animated entirely in-house.
every environment was lit, framed, and shot entirely in-engine.

in case you were curious, i did boards and all the layouts w/

, chunks of the environment modeling and lighting, the art/animation direction, and *small* bits of final animation alongside our incredible animation team! I also did all the final comp and motion graphics.
hey! i'm directing this game with
@pixelhavokk
(we both handle too many things to list in the remaining space on this tweet) and now that it's been a day and I've gotten more than an hour of sleep, it's time to talk through the process on this trailer a bit i think! cool

all the sprites now have a fully dynamic rimlight! bashed this together over a very bored weekend

thank you!
it's really just a neat byproduct - the primary reason we do this is just to ensure visual consistency between the game and the cutscenes

@coalbones
it's actually a dynamic rimlight shader based on light direction and intensity! we use it in conjunction with hand-drawn shadows on a case by case basis - you can see more of it here:

i did the layouts, art dir., 3d work, and compositing for this trailer! really proud of everyone who worked on it and how it came together 🥹
there weren't any cockpit interior references, so i tried to give the lil switches and panels inside a more analog 80's anime look

some people say animation can be really tedious. i say you haven't experienced true pain until you need to reanimate all the animations in your game five times at slightly different angles to do 8 directional movement

there is a ton of latent toxicity in pompo the cinephile and in hirao’s perception of the creative process that he is trying to grapple with; it’s a film about “hollywood” that is, actually, just contorted into a blatant stand-in of the director and the anime industry

game-feel was one of the first things i targeted with our initial prototype; if it feels JUICY with just colored rectangles it'll feel even better with proper animations
we did an absolutely insane number of iterations vaguely like this

our game is highly defined by it's aesthetic; we definitely have to hit our visual targets earlier than other projects might (2d animation is a bitch)
even then all that still happens *after* we make sure the game works lol
