In May 2022, we kicked off a one-of-a-kind project with ‘Spellcraft’, teaming up with long-time colleagues and buddies at ONE MORE GAME. This gig was more than your typical professional engagement—it felt like a reunion. The challenge was substantial, as we aimed to animate some of the most complex creatures we’ve ever encountered, integrating their deep and rich backstories directly into our animations.

Over the course of almost a year, our team dedicated itself wholeheartedly to breathing life into the characters of “Spellcraft”. Our journey ranged from brainstorming sessions to meticulously crafting custom shots in Unity for the game’s trailer. Despite the demanding workload, our enthusiasm never wavered. We played a key role in creating intros, match outros, and even developing a prototype for the game’s trailer, ensuring a harmonious visual storytelling experience.

While the journey was filled with creativity and collaboration, it came to an unexpected halt in April 2023 when the game was cancelled. Despite this, our time spent on “Spellcraft” remains a valuable chapter in our story, offering us a unique opportunity to dive into Unity for the first time and expand our skill set.

Collaborating with the crew at ONE MORE GAME brought a unique vibe to our work, mixing professionalism with the familiarity of working with friends. We immersed ourselves in extensive animation tasks and navigated new territories with in-engine camera work, creating intros, match outros, and trailer shots. The challenges were substantial, but they fueled our drive to excel and innovate. Every step was a learning opportunity, and every challenge was a chance to sharpen our skills. The project’s unexpected conclusion doesn’t overshadow the value of the experience, or the joy found in the process and the connections made along the way.
