Are you interested in Nuclear Blaze? No flaming in the comments section below. It’s now confirmed for release on PS5 and PS4 “early next year”, releasing digitally with information about a physical release to come “at a later date”. In addition to featuring smooth controls and a familiar visual style, the game has numerous difficulty settings as well as a Kid Mode, which alters the levels and controls to allow children and younger players to enjoy the game too. You can get a feel for it in the above trailer. It’s not a rogue-like or Metroidvania - it’s a linear platformer about using your firehose and other tools to puzzle through the environment and unravel the story. Released on PC last year to very positive reviews, Nuclear Blaze is a 2D action adventure in which you play a firefighter, called in to tackle a raging inferno only to discover a mysterious underground facility. Now, he’s broken away from the larger team to pursue some solo projects, and one of those is an all-new game named Nuclear Blaze. While it was developed by several talented people at studio Motion Twin, Sébastien Bénard spearheaded much of the process, credited as lead game designer and lead developer.

We then add in the colouring to make sure that it respects the art direction that we’ve defined either for the series, or for the game universe as a whole.Dead Cells is an excellent rogue-like side-scroller with fluid controls and intricate design. Now we really get to bring things to life! Bobby take the storyboard and work on their animatics, the kind of “concept art” for a cartoon that will define the visual and animation style for the trailer. Once we have a first draft of a storyboard, we’ll then go through and make sure that we think all of the proposed ideas line up with the objectives from above, if they don’t, we’ll work with the production company (phone calls, email, Slack threads etc.) to refine the storyboard until we’ve got something that we think is worth animating. We like to let the production company propose some ideas first (it’s what they’re good at, so get out of the way and let the masters work). This is probably the most fun part of the process, as it’s where you get to think up a bunch of crazy ideas and see if you can string them together into something that will do all of the above for you, while still being fun to watch. If you’ve figured all that out it’s time to draft your storyboard. Build out the universe of your game, developing the characters and giving personality and life to a world that usually only exists as an unfairly difficult game.We usually go for something funny, because that also lines up with the style of our main character. Showcase the DLC, meaning showing new levels, bosses, enemies and weapons, it’s a game trailer after all.Once you know what kind of style you want and you’ve decided who’s going to be able to pull it off, you need to know what your trailer is supposed to do. The people that run the studio often work with some of the best animators in France and have worked on a bunch of cartoons we love. to open the pores and to lubricate the skin and it gently exfoliates the surface of the skin to rid it of dead cells (see The Actual Shave,' page 82). For us, we naturally thought of the French company, Bobbyprod. So, how does one go about getting a cartoon made? Unless you happen to be fantastic at 2D animation (which most of our artists actually happen to be) and have a bunch of free time (which none of our artists do), you need to find a production company that fits with the style of cartoon that you want to make.
