New Awkward 2 Art Added!

One of the challenges with developing an adult party game is tying together the yin and yang of two themes that aren’t often seen together: ‘adult’ and ‘party’.

We want the look and feel of the game to convey the disturbing nature of some of the content and the dark backstory of how the players have ended up navigating their way out of Wick’s wicked world while also bringing the lighter feel that players usually associate with multiplayer party games.

A way we’ve been able to combine these themes is by adding a new art style to the game to accompany the beautifully creepy existing art made by our 3D artist, Amanda.

The additional art style we’ve decided to go with is called Chibi which is described as “a Japanese caricature art style characterised by characters with small, exaggerated bodies and oversized heads..”

We found an artist called Mustafa who was able to take the characters from the game (Wick, Momus and the Egg of Destiny) and ‘Chibify’ them and we absolutely love the results!

Take a look below at some of the work in progress sketches of the new art and the final ones that we’ll be adding to Awkward 2 and see if you can find where it’s already been added on the last pic!
