We would like to thank you for your many feedback on our first making-of video. We are back with a new video. The opportunity to see Didier Chanfray, one of the original creators of Twinsen, as well as Paulo Torinno, our Art Director, work hand in hand on the artistic turn that the universe will take.. And I promise, there are many new surprises in this video... enjoy!

For the record, we discovered the brilliant Brazilian artist Paulo Torinno through a fanart he had posted from the game on Instagram. He has been entrusted with the art direction of this new game. Unconditional fan of Twinsen's Odyssey (the name in Brazil) since his childhood, Paulo's unique trait infuses the developing game with modernity, humor and poetry. He said: "To those who love Twinsen, we try to bring a lot of new things, but at the same time, to bring the essence of the gaming experience that we have known. From fan to fan, I think it's going to be great."

The choice of artistic direction was made very early in our project. The whole team fell in love with Paulo's style, which both modernizes the world of Twinsen while maintaining the initial state of mind, original, surprising and full of wonder. We take great pleasure in seeing this universe come to life more every day. It's an incredible creative playground.

Our project is following its course and becoming more and more refined. We are currently in the crucial timing of finding publishers. All your support means so much to us, and we will continue to show you as much behind the scenes of this great adventure as possible.

That was some awesome looking concept art.

I had to come back here to mbn just to comment on this: HOLY ROSACOW THESE ARE JUST GREAT

I have to say it: I change my stance on the reboot. Yeah, it's a real shame LBA3 as we wanted and dreamed of will never happen, and that hurt a lot in the past; but now, I see that this reboot thing might be really exciting after all, even if it isn't what we had hoped for; it is something else, it won't ever replace the LBA3 that won't exist, but still, it is a something else that can be entirely cool and fresh and exciting. Never before have I felt such a cool energy coming from 2.21 as I feel after this #2 making of video! Great stuff!

Also: Now that Didier found his padawan in the hands of Paulo, whom I am confident will deliver good results, I hope they start talking about the music of the game and whoever they will hire for the sound design/original soundtrack because for me this is just as important as the visuals, if not more important. (Vachey maybe?)

I know right? great recovery

Ah, so he's the one with the weird pen grip in the previous video. He appears to be using both, must be for different styles or something.

That guy is just so charming and passionate, if he says the reboot will be good, then I believe him

When I saw his face it somehow reminded me of his concept art from before he joined Maybe it's the earrings that Zoe is also wearing, or the eyes. I also really like the art!

The mockups shown in the end are so much better than the screenshots of the "remasters" on GOG and Steam pages.
