Josh Wong has been busy animating all of the passengers in our train demo. Anastasia Castle works as the colorist. We affectionately call this guy the Crank. This is just his idle sequence, but once Haro starts causing mayhem in the cafe, he'll show off his glorious scowl. Definitely not a morning person. Nope. ~~~ #games #gaming #videogames #characterdesign #visualdevelopment #gamedev #conceptdesign #conceptart #art #environmentart #characterart #lacunathegame #moonrakerstudios #environmentdesign #painting #illustration #steam #steamgreenlight #indiegames #gameart #gamedesign #unityengine #madewithunity #2dscroller #adventure #Girlpower #2Danimation #Jogo #animation #characteranimation

Of course, Haro and her parents aren't the only passengers! One of them is pretty happy about his early morning start. The other, well, not so much. ~ #games #gaming #videogames #characterdesign #visualdevelopment #gamedev #conceptdesign #conceptart #art #environmentart #characterart #lacunathegame #moonrakerstudios #environmentdesign #painting #illustration #steam #steamgreenlight #indiegames #gameart #gamedesign #unityengine #madewithunity #2dscroller #adventure #Girlpower #2Danimation #Jogo #Aventura #Designpersonagens

How does the train's ticketmaster wear her key fob? ~ It seems like a small thing, for a character who is only planned to appear briefly. Why bother? ~ Because the goal is to animate the characters by hand, rather than through a puppet rig, we need to have them all on model. The figures have to conform to the proportion system, the style of costuming, and give us hints about how they move and what it would feel like to wear and use their costumes and props. ~ Does she stuff it in a pocket because she doesn't use it that often? Does she use it so often that it makes more sense to be on a lanyard? Or does it hook into a sash or a belt for easy access? ~ When it comes to strong character design, the little things go the distance. ~ #games #gaming #videogames #characterdesign #visualdevelopment #gamedev #conceptdesign #conceptart #art #environmentart #characterart #lacunathegame #moonrakerstudios #environmentdesign #painting #illustration #steam #steamgreenlight #indiegames #gameart #gamedesign #unityengine #madewithunity #2dscroller #adventure #Girlpower #2Danimation #Jogo #Aventura #Designpersonagens

Dark, festively-lit slums are the true character of the capital city of Kaigal. ~ The later stages of the game have an atmosphere perfectly captured by one of our environment artists, Alex Hadfield. Inviting at times, but hauntingly abandoned. There's no telling what spirits lurk in the crevices of the night market. ~ #games #gaming #videogames #characterdesign #visualdevelopment #gamedev #conceptdesign #conceptart #art #environmentart #characterart #lacunathegame #moonrakerstudios #environmentdesign #painting #illustration #steam #steamgreenlight #indiegames #gameart #gamedesign #unityengine #madewithunity #2dscroller #adventure #Girlpower #2Danimation #Jogo #Aventura #Designpersonagens

Haro has gone through a lot of iterations since her early character sheets, but we always knew she would be spunky and stand out amongst the crowd. Props to @joshwongart for finding Haro's face! As soon as we saw her we fell in love. ~ #games #gaming #videogames #characterdesign #visualdevelopment #gamedev #conceptdesign #conceptart #art #environmentart #characterart #lacunathegame #moonrakerstudios #environmentdesign #painting #illustration #steam #steamgreenlight #indiegames #gameart #gamedesign #unityengine #madewithunity #2dscroller #adventure #Girlpower #2Danimation #Jogo #Aventura #Designpersonagens

Haro's design is coming to life as we speak. She's fiery, playful, and her hair has a life of its own. ~ Here are a few of her expressions and the design that made us all fall in love with her spitfire personality. ~ #games #gaming #videogames #characterdesign #visualdevelopment #gamedev #conceptdesign #conceptart #art #environmentart #characterart #lacunathegame #moonrakerstudios #environmentdesign #painting #illustration #steam #steamgreenlight #indiegames #gameart #gamedesign #unityengine #madewithunity #2dscroller #adventure #Girlpower #2Danimation #Jogo #Aventura #Designpersonagens
