MORE BOARD GAMES!
Today we would like to share a piece of concept we produced for Asmodee's Survive the Island. As you can notice, the final product is noticeably different, but this isn't unusual in the world of concept art.
October 17, 2025 at 1:35 PM
And here are the final products!

These missions bring their own challenges and can actually be very technical, and that's why our team love them so much. Here's an exemple with Waterfall Park, from Repos Production. We delivered concepts for the box art, and for the board itself.
September 16, 2025 at 12:33 PM
Let's kickstart this new week with a bang!
This concept was created for our dear friends at Phoenix Labs, as they were exploring ideas for another project. Even if it's just a picture, you can feel the motion and the energy that our teams were trying to convey.

... a strong impact on our artists, starting with our art director. And while we love to mix things up and do different things, we are always super excited when tasked with the creation of something that is somehow connected with Japan.

One last time! This is the last post about that cancelled project, and today we have two differents views on an inhabited moutain. This time again, you can notice the japanese inspirations. As you may have guessed with the studio's name, the japanese culture as a whole has always had...

So in the past few days, we shared some splash arts and environment concepts from that cancelled project. Today, let's share some of what we did for one of the characters. From first concepts to final 3D renders, weapons and other props, this was a lot of fun for our team!
August 25, 2025 at 1:57 PM
Here, you can see some of our first sketches, and then, here an above, the final result. It was a lot of fun!
August 22, 2025 at 12:16 PM
As promised 2 days ago, here are some more pictures from that cancelled project we worked on for quite some time! As mentionned earlier, our mission wasn't limited to key arts. We did many things, including research, concept and final renders for a heavily Japan-inspired village.
August 22, 2025 at 12:16 PM
Starting today and up until next week, we will be sharing several visuals we produced for a cancelled project that got us pretty busy!
August 20, 2025 at 12:52 PM
Key art for the really cool Spirited Thief (PC, 2023), developed by @koisnowmangames.bsky.social and published by Ishtar Games. Go give it a try!

So.
Based on our latest post you might have figured out that despite all her misdeed, it's not like we are actually mad at Bouddha.

Quite the opposite! The team has decided to pay a little tribute to Bouddha. These cosmetics will join many others in Graine with our next update!

For the past few weeks, Bouddah has been on a biting spree, assaulting many many cords. Seems like no external battery, no mouse, no keyboard, no pen display is safe from her savagery!

The art The artist

A few months ago, the team asked if we could have a cat at the studio. After a few discussions, we eventually adopted this beautiful lady!
Please meet Bouddha. When she's not sunbathing in the patio, her main past time is to climb on the shoulders of her favorite humans. We love her. 😸

Quick snippet of some of the 3D concepts we did for the TV series Press Start!. Translating the visual style of Thomas Flintham's comics into the world of 3D was a real challenge, but it was fascinating.
April 30, 2025 at 1:30 PM
It seems like you kinda enjoyed our latest post, sharing several sketches for a cancelled project. So, as promised, here are some more. These ones focus on a big, mysterious forest. We were exploring colors, scales, trees' shapes and density, ligthing and the mood we wanted to set.
April 25, 2025 at 12:37 PM
As you might have guessed, they weren't thrown away. And while we can't say which company we were working with, and what was that project, we sure can share some of our favorite sketches. This is obviously pretty raw, but it gives a good idea of what this world could have been.
April 11, 2025 at 9:15 AM
This is actually something rather common in the world of visual development, but it's always a bit sad for our artists. Nonetheless, today we are really happy to share with you some of those early sketches!
April 11, 2025 at 9:15 AM
A few years ago, we had the opportunity to work on the conceptualization of a brand new world. We started drawing sketches, testing colors and shapes, toying with scales and composition. But sadly, all of a sudden, the project was cancelled.

If you're planning to get Danghost off 50%, time is running out! Our take on puzzle games, inspired by classics such as Puyo Puyo and Puzzle Bobble, but with a fighting game twist! 🧨

During our lenghty collaboration with the great people at PhoenixLabs, we had the opportunity to work on many environment concepts, exploring what the world of Project Unicorn might look like.
