Simple watercolor sketch of my favorite Orca scene from the delightful underwater adventure, "Abzu" by indie developers Giant Squid Studios and 505 Games. Like "Journey" on PS3, truly an innovative and deeply moving piece of interactive experience. 

Matt Nava, creator of Abzû (@abzugame) & The Pathless (@thepathlessgame) and art director for Flower and Journey, is truly an inspirational and kindred figure in my life. Looking forward to everything in store from Giant Squid in 2019, and beyond! #Abzu #ThePathless #Journey #Flower #MattNava #GiantSquid #Adventure #Future #Videogames #Timeless https://www.instagram.com/p/Brv_Yx1l-_w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1irstutncqxud

The incomparable #MattNava, creator of #Abzû and head of @giantsquidoloyg, very kindly writing back to us on Twitter :) Richly symbolic, deeply moving, beautifully meditative and immersive and emotionally engaging, Matt’s design sensibilities in Abzû, his previous title #Journey and without a doubt to be taken to the next level in their forthcoming title, are one of this medium’s greatest treasures :) Here’s to many more of your stories being brought to magnificently interactive life, Mr. Nava! #InteractiveArt #GiantSquidStudios #ThatGameCompany

ABZÛ was a v gorgeous game.
