Katanaut is live on Steam🎊

Please pet the cat, ignore anything watching from the vents, and if the corridors start talking, keep walking.

Got some more news in a couple hours🙃

After years of building your game, weak key art can ruin launch!

That's why Longplay brought MLC on to create their key art. It went down well, so well, that they came back for round 2 for their Last Escape DLC 🪓

Take a look here to see how we help studios like Ground Shatter turn creative vision into actual market success! It's the exact kind of support we love providing: magnaludumcreatives.com/services/3d-...

Art is a dev team's competitive advantage. The studios that succeed are the ones that understand every visual decision impacts commercial performance.

The video above showcases the full cast we worked on for KITS! ⚔️

KITS found commercial success, earning significant media coverage & a growing player base who fell in love with the aesthetic.

And that’s the point. It’s not just creating great characters - it's about understanding how visual style drives market differentiation & player engagement.

How Knights in Tight Spaces turned art direction into commercial success 🎮🏆

KITS has a distinct sketchbook-style. Turning that into 40+ characters that would maintain the signature style, perform flawlessly in Unity & help break through to press attention & player success was fundamental.
