Alex & Arty - Restoring planet Earth · published
Hi, Gamers! RolldBox Games development team Today with Ferran, one of our Co-Founders, as well as the Game Designer and Creative Director of the studio at RolldBox Games 👋
We are continuing with our "Making Of" video series, where we show you everything behind the creation of Alex & Arty! 🔆
CHAPTER 04 | Character Arty 🔆 #Alex&ArtyÂ
In this fourth episode, we cover the creation process of Arty.
We faced a major challenge, because Arty is a very special and magical creature.
Arty possesses an unusual consciousness, which not only allows them to communicate, but also to use the "Anima" found on Gladness to influence the environment. This means this creature can repopulate flowers, grass, trees, and even small animals. Therefore, Arty had to reflect a high capacity for interaction, a deep sensitivity toward all living beings, and the strength to help them survive. We also needed to convey their frustration when the Crud and such high levels of pollution prevent them from acting and restoring life.
Because of this, together with Alex, they will combine Magic and Technology to overcome the pollution and the chaos created by the AI, Jason, after the Corp abandoned it and left it running out of control.
We considered Arty's shape, colors, animations—everything about them—to be incredibly special. We spent a lot of time refining how they express themselves, while making very careful decisions about all the colors, especially when they transform into the various creatures of Gladness.
We would be absolutely thrilled if you watched the video and left your thoughts in the comments! Thank you for adding Alex & Arty to your wishlist. The launch is getting close: September 16th!
We will be sharing more "Making Of" chapters soon!
