You guys, there is way too much cool stuff out there for me to limit this to just one highlight. I’ll try to be quick.
Paul Robertson’s doing it again at Adult Swim! His work is always a little cute, a wee bit oddball but always entertaining. He also lives over here on tumblr but he has an incredibly flashy background. Be ye warned.
Over at Motiga they’re working on a game called Gigantic, which they describe as brawler/shooter/action RPG with influence from several genres. I can’t believe I haven’t heard more about it before, because I’m watching the alpha gameplay footage from last year and I’m TICKLED AS HELL.
Here’s a more cinematic trailer.
Aiiiieeeee i love this art style! I love the 2D/3D look, I love these varied character bodies, giant monster battles, and everybody moves with some promising distinct personality. They’re currently open for testers if you’re as curious as I am!
No free cookies awarded for guessing my favorite so far is Tyto.
Lastly is a proof of concept trailer for a film called Kariba from artists based in South Africa.
Kariba is about the real-world events around the Zambezi river dam and the local legend’s river spirit that threatens it. You can see concept art and read more about it over at Cartoon Brew.
I can't yell enough about how great it is to see diverse artistic voices from all over making cool stuff that represents their homes and cultures and sharing it with the world. More of this, please and thank you.
