Dev Diary #02: Defining Kaodi’s art pipeline

26 Mar

🧵 Today we're revealing Kaodi's unique art direction journey. From day one, we wanted to create something that would stand out in the market. Here's how Jiale, our art director, didi it!👇

1️⃣ Our previous games like Nhiol (3D lowpoly) and Myth Tales (2D pixel art) gave us experience in different styles. But for Kaodi, we needed something fresh that helped us define our visual identity.

2️⃣ Recognizing our team's strengths and limitations, we searched for an approach that would allow us to create something distinctive and doable. 🔍

3️⃣ That's when we discovered 2.5D pixel art (or "low-spec"). This technique expands traditional pixel art by adding depth and dimension, bringing an extra layer of visual charm while staying within our technical comfort zone. 💡

4️⃣ For KAODI's artistic direction, we drew inspiration from Eastern art, particularly Chinese ink paintings. This traditional art form's distinctive monochromatic style perfectly complements our game's themes and narrative. ⚔️

5️⃣ Our technical pipeline uses Crocotile3D, a specialized software for creating 3D pixel art. This allows us to model in 3D while texturing in 2D pixel art—all in one program. Every asset follows a strict pixel grid to maintain visual coherence. 🖌️

Demo feedback

I wish there was a tutorial. The inner world button flashes and keeps flashing and I didn't understand that I needed to press the jump button. I just pressed all the buttons until something happened. Otherwise it just kept flashing and prompting me to press it. After I rescue the people and talk to them outside the temple I stopped playing because I don't understand what I'm supposed to do or where I'm supposed to go. I wish the game didn't freeze for 0.5 seconds eve...

Dev Diary #01:Building Kaodi around an asset

6 Mar

🧵 Today, we’re telling you why Kaodi is the way it is. It all started with the incredible character design by @penusbmic.[penusbmic.itch.io] 👇

1️⃣ This isn’t the first time we’ve used one of his assets. In Ronin Fighters, one of our earliest games, we already included the techno-samurai from the Sci-Fi Character Pack 8. We absolutely love their style! 🔥

2️⃣ Some time later, we saw he had released another pack, a clear evolution of the previous one. And there he was: an imposing samurai who challenged us to create a world, a story, and an art style around him. That’s how Kaodi was born, and the samurai became Barren, the protagonist of our game.

3️⃣ But the original asset didn’t include all the animations we needed. That’s where @apoonto came in, completing the sprite sheet with walking, dashing, hurt, and a devastating new attack animation. The result was SPECTACULAR. 💥

4️⃣ We wanted the spear-wielding version to be the game’s main enemy. For that, @apoonto stepped up again with new animations that made combat feel fluid, organic, and packed with the punch we were looking for. ⚔

5️⃣ From there, our art team developed a visual style where Barren and the rest of the characters would fit naturally. Sometimes, inspiration for a game comes from the most unexpected places…

Want to see the final result? 🔥
