With progress on the Astatos game progressing, we wanted to share some of the new artwork used for our main characters!
Since Boog's original artwork for the card game back in 2019, the characters have had their designs tweaked and some revised completely for the story and other game illustrations. In tandem with this, we've been working with Mamaduo to redesign the cards for each of the Heroes to bring them ...

Compymono here!
While I have my hands full with stuff behind the scenes we aren't quite ready to show yet, I wanted to share a look into a really cool design I worked on for Astatos.
The original logo for Astatos was designed back in 2019 by Boog, who also did the card designs and illustrations for the tabletop game.

After over a year of design work, revisions, and prototypes behind the scenes; we're finally ready to launch the final plush for the Nekojishi cat trio!
You'll notice a lot of changes from the initial designs we had during the Lin Hu plush Kickstarter back in 2019! We tried really hard to make the traditional outfit work, but after our experience designing the Amicus plush back in 2020, we realised the simple approach was the best way to make a quality design.
We'll probably be ta...

After our blog on the audio design of our games back in April, we wanted to share with you some of the completed music from Astatos by the composer for the game, Esteban Tamashiro!
This track is a Trial (battle) theme for the Astatos story mode, generally used for non-serious or comedic settings.
While this theme is tentatively called "The Debate" internally,...

Hey all, Compymono here!
As a part of my design work on our games, I also help out with coordinating the planning for our CG illustrations so today I wanted to give a little look at how one of the upcoming illustrations for the video game version of Astatos comes together.
Each illustration in the game stems from a different requirement. Usually either story, the user interface, or for marketing. In this case we're starting with one of the first illustrations scene in the story mo...

Hi everyone, Compymono here!
Today I wanted to dive into the production side of the sound design and music systems of the video game version of Astatos. Including both our design process and the technical side of things.
Looking back at our previous 2 games, Nekojishi, and Beek - Familiar Spirit. Both of them have very different implementations of music and sound effects. Nekojishi was fairly straightforward, while Beek started to stretch t...

Hi Patrons!
Compymono here. Today I wanted to go into a few details on some UI design and implementation work I recently did for the Astatos game by taking a look at the log menu you can find in the story mode.
So first things first, we have to define the bounds of what the design needs to accomplish.
Then break that down to the function...
