🛠 DIMENSIONALS DECONSTRUCT #1 🛠 We're building in public and our first sneak peak had a lot to unpack! DIMENSIONALS ARMY, let's dive in to understand to understand how we designed the game to grow to a $100bn franchise. A thread 👇🧵

1/ Building the next MEGA FRANCHISE requires thoughtfully weaving together every artistic medium to create an experience that is: - Instantly Immersive - Broadly accessible - Both nostalgic and novel - Simple but deep - Natively cross platform Let's dive in:

2/ Wow at first glance The art team has 1 cardinal rule: Every screenshot should be poster quality. Every frame visually stunning. Hook people from the first glance. When you first see Dimensionals, you should want to drop everything and play.

3/ The Environment Design At the core of our environment design is colour theory. Our artists organized the hue, saturation and values across the scenes composition to draw you directly into the action. The environment creates the epic RAID BOSS feels!

4/ The Character Design All our characters, and especially our bosses, are designed to feel both nostalgic and new! One key here is our signature animation style. Built in our custom 2.5D engine, it uniquely brings our characters to life. Wait until you see the attacks...

5/ The VFX The VFX tie everything together. They bring life to our environments through motion, momentum and colour. The constant movement puts you right in the zone: driving, determined, and relentless. LFGGGG

6/ The Music This isn’t just a battle, its a music video. Every VFX, every hit, every transition is synchronized with the music. You just can't stop watching. Playing Dimensionals is like watching a live DJ set –  the entire battle was designed FOR the music!

7/ The UI Good UI is also a tutorial – it's at the core of making games broadly appealing. Dimensionals UI is natively cross platform. Whether you're playing on PC, phone, tablet or console – it just works. This is key to hitting mass appeal!

8/ What's next This is just the beginning. This is the smallest sliver of gameplay, and we'll be showing off more every week leading up to Alpha and Eve. I can't wait to build with you 🛠🛠

Amazing thread! #DIMENSIONALSARMY
