Tokyo Stories

"The city continues to tell her story, even after her disappearance." Tokyo has been altered to be like a maze. A subtle story begins in this abandoned city. A new game experience through 3D & Pixel Art

Hello from the dev team! From now on, we are going to occasionally share some behind-the-scenes updates of the development process! We’ll be posting exclusive content that won’t be shared on social media platforms. [PixelArt+3D] This is a breakdown video of the pixel art expression, which is the biggest challenge in the visual aspect of our work.

Next, we burn the shadows of non-moving parts into a light map and apply a texture to the 3D model. Then, we enhance the shader lighting and apply a distortion effect to the light-dark boundary. After that, we pixelate the entire image and apply colour reduction using the colour palette. Last, we adjust the colours of the entire screen and apply a final brush to complete the process. (In reality, there are various minor adjustments made.) Here is a scene from the game that was created using this process: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43548694/c61391599b987e1380fa2a9ad77b5487df32d8e6.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43548694/eef66c60fd25fff81c44dc7908631dd28773b065.png[/img] We'll be sharing more in the future, so make sure to stick around!
