5️⃣ Our technical pipeline uses Crocotile3D, a specialized software for creating 3D pixel art. This allows us to model in 3D while texturing in 2D pixel art—all in one program. Every asset follows a strict pixel grid to maintain visual coherence🖌️
4️⃣ For KAODI's artistic direction, we drew inspiration from Eastern art, particularly Chinese ink paintings. This traditional art form's distinctive monochromatic style perfectly complements our game's themes and narrative⚔️
3️⃣ That's when we discovered 2.5D pixel art (or "low-spec"). This technique expands traditional pixel art by adding depth and dimension, bringing an extra layer of visual charm while staying within our technical comfort zone💡
2️⃣ Recognizing our team's strengths and limitations, we searched for an approach that would allow us to create something distinctive and doable🔍
1️⃣ Our previous games like Nhiol (3D lowpoly) and Myth Tales (2D pixel art) gave us experience in different styles. But for Kaodi, we needed something fresh that helped us define our visual identity!
🧵 Today we're revealing Kaodi's unique art direction journey. From day one, we wanted to create something that would stand out in the market. Here's how @jiackz.bsky.social, our art director, didi it!👇
Hi Bsky!!! Happy #wishlistwednesday 🔵

5️⃣ From there, our art team developed a visual style where Barren and the rest of the characters would fit naturally. Sometimes, inspiration for a game comes from the most unexpected places…
4️⃣ We wanted the spear-wielding version to be the game’s main enemy. For that, @apoonto.bsky.social stepped up again with new animations that made combat feel fluid, organic, and packed with the punch we were looking for. ⚔
3️⃣ But the original asset didn’t include all the animations we needed. That’s where @apoonto.bsky.social came in, completing the sprite sheet with walking, dashing, hurt, and a devastating new attack animation. The result was SPECTACULAR. 💥
2️⃣ Some time later, we saw he had released another pack, a clear evolution of the previous one. And there he was: an imposing samurai who challenged us to create a world, a story, and an art style around him. That’s how Kaodi was born, and the samurai became Barren, the protagonist of our game.
1️⃣ This isn’t the first time we’ve used one of his assets. In Ronin Fighters, one of our earliest games, we already included the techno-samurai from the Sci-Fi Character Pack 8. We absolutely love their style! 🔥
Happy #WishlistWednesday all!
Let's celebrate with a devlog 📖

Thank you for your support! 🙌
Artistically, Kaodi stands out with its black and white art style, a stark contrast that reflects the perpetual conflict scarring the desolate lands of this kingdom.
Every shadow, every light tells a story... 🖤🤍
🧵 [4/5]
Mechanically, Kaodi is intuitive and accessible, but we've designed the action to keep things challenging. Though the war is over, Barren's path is still perilous. Blood will be spilled to protect the weak in a world that refuses to heal. ⚔️
🧵 [3/5]
Kaodi is a short yet deeply immersive game focused on worldbuilding and storytelling.
On your journey back home, you'll witness the aftermath of war: a shattered kingdom, homeless citizens, and families waiting for those who will never return... 💔
🧵 [2/5]
