(Fun fact - we’ve worked with Mart before, when she animated the “Can’t Get Enough of Your Heart” music video for Kiss/OFF!) In this artwork she's reimagined Andy and Fishy as mermaids! I'm obsessed with mermaid Fishy as a fish with arms😭😭 what a beautiful and whimsical AU!

🐟 6 DAYS LEFT 🐟

We’re counting down the release of Road Trip to the End of the World with fanart from some of our favorite artists! Today's artwork is from Haelee Lim, a Korean-American graphic novelist and freelance illustrator based in New Jersey. We LOVE the fish-eye effect and can’t stop staring into the void of Fishy's eyes😭😭😭 Haelee’s work is always full of wonderful textures and playful charm - it’s a dream to see the Road Trip characters in her style!

🐟 Behind-the-scenes peek!

The first scene of Road Trip to the End of the World shows Andy and Bora as children, burying a fish in the backyard. I wanted to make sure the visuals hit the bittersweet/nostalgic tone just right, especially since it’s the first thing players will see! Here are all the steps I took to make the background and sprites. What do you think of the results?

(Even though the final artwork is much more polished, I always have a soft spot for the expressiveness of rough sketches!)

🐟 Day 2 highlights!

Road Trip to the End of the World is set across four full days of travel as Andy drives the I-80 from Massachusetts to California to crash her ex-best friend’s wedding. Here are some of our favorite moments from Day 2!

Some characters were never meant to be seen from the front…………

🐟 Behind-the-scenes peek!

To make the exterior driving scenes for Road Trip to the End of the World, I used reference photos, but also took a lot of inspiration from how driving scenes are shot in movies. I wanted a simple design that communicated movement without making the player dizzy or tired. What do you think of the results?

🐟 Day 1 highlights!

Road Trip to the End of the World is set across four full days of travel as Andy drives the I-80 from Massachusetts to California to crash her ex-best friend’s wedding. Here are some of our favorite moments from Day 1!

🐟 Behind-the-scenes peek!

To make the car interior scene for Road Trip to the End of the World, I took a ton of reference photos of a friend's car (a rarity in NYC!) and built out the details from there. In the earliest demos, the photos were used as-is while I drew the final assets! What do you think of the results?

🐟 Introducing: BORA HWANG!

Bora is Andy's mysterious ex-best friend, which I guess makes her the antagonist of Road Trip to the End of the World. She is getting married this Summer, and Andy is explicitly NOT invited. What happened between these two best friends that led them to this point? And is she really a villain - or something else entirely?

🐟 Introducing: FISHY!

Fishy is Andy and Bora's imaginary friend from childhood who wants nothing more than to save their friendship. Little does she know that 'best friends forever' is a lot harder at 23 than it was at 9 years old. Can she help mend what’s been broken? And - perhaps more importantly - can she find the best cheeseburger in the world?!

🐟 Introducing: ANDY MIN!

Andy is the reluctant protagonist of Road Trip to the End of the World, and the most bullheaded 23 year-old in history. Driven by her attachment to her ex-best friend Bora, she decides to drive from Massachusetts to California in four days. Will she make it? Or will she crash and burn?

I’m miles down the road So far out of reach You might find me wand’rin in the forest Or climbing through the mountains Or walking on the beach Don’t go chasing after me I’m too far away After all that we’ve been through together Did you think that I could stay?
