As you can imagine, it’s been a long ride and I couldn’t be more pleased with the reception of the game so far. I wanted to have a unique style and frame by frame animations and people seem to appreciate it very much. I hope to do more with 2D in video games as I think there is much more to show.
but now it’s time to relax a little….

Since all my time is devoted to WB right now, I figured it’d be nice to share something not related. A thing from 2y ago I forgot to post at the time. I remember wanting to explore bright, vivid colors

Hi all, just to let you know I’ve been participating last year to the last book of Masters of Anatomy.
Many artists having a go at Robin Hood, which is a very interesting example of how each of us might interpret the characters.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap

Hi everyone, I know I’ve been really quiet lately but I had a good reason.

Me and my associate Omar cofounded our very own game studio Lizardcube , fulfilling a life-long dream of making a remake of Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap.

— more info here —

We’ve been hard at work for more than a year and half now and we finally unveiled the reveal trailer yesterday. We got an amazing response from the community, truly felt like a heartwarming welcome for the project.

I personally couldn’t be happier, I handle all the art by myself ( including this trailer ) and people seems to really appreciate the work I did on it. I’m glad that handdrawn art and animation can get such a good response, this is something I really like to see in a videogame.

So here is the trailer and few screenshots for you to enjoy

Until next time where we’ll show more and more of this fantastic journey.

thanks to all of you, really
