Hello, everyone!
We are thrilled to share some exciting updates about Light Odyssey!
To kick off the new year, we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating again with the talented artist Artem Chebokha. Through this opportunity, we’d like to share the process behind the creation of Light Odyssey’s new key art.
What were the most important aspects behind the new key art?
Sun: Light Odyssey is a game that highlights the contrast between small characters like Bandi and imposing, massive bosses. Capturing this visual contrast while emphasizing the central theme of light was crucial.
Key art plays a pivotal role in shaping the game’s first impression, so it was essential to encapsulate the theme and convey a sense of vibrancy and light in the design.
As avid fans of Artem Chebokha’s work, we already understood his strengths, which enabled us to swiftly begin discussions about the details of the art.
How did it begin?
Sun: We wanted this key art to feel entirely different from its predecessor. While the previous version featured an intense, cool blue tone, this time, we aimed for warm tones, focusing on a colossal boss that exudes a threatening feeling.
How was the collaboration carried out?
Sun: Having worked on key art together once before, we quickly finalized the initial sketches, and from there, we exchanged feedback via email, gradually refining the art.
Although several ideas were scrapped along the way, the process also sparked new inspiration that helped the design evolve further.
What challenges did we face?
Sun: The biggest challenge was adapting the key art to Steam’s varied aspect ratio requirements.
Each banner on Steam has different horizontal and vertical dimensions, and we feel it is essential to maintain balanced visuals across all formats. We tackled this by fine-tuning the main colors, action depictions, and details through multiple rounds of feedback.
An Exciting Journey
Creating key art that encapsulates the essence of Light Odyssey was no easy feat, but it was an incredibly rewarding journey.
As we move closer to launch, we look forward to showcasing even more creative and innovative work.
Stay tuned for more updates soon!
