We were asked by La Poule Noire to work on the trailer of their next game : Matelotes!
In this world, you guide a small yet enthusiastic crew and chart their course... even if the sailors themselves don't always make it easy! ⛵
For this project, our process was built around craft at every stage. We kicked off with a pre-production phase to rework the existing trailer's foundations, hand in hand with the game developer. From there, we designed custom cards introducing the game's different characters, and created an animated CTA to close out the trailer with impact. To do this we used several existing elements from the stunning artistic direction of the game. Finally, we delivered a brand new edit, built to showcase the game's mechanics while keeping the main characters at the heart of the story.
The game premiered at gamescom a few days ago, and we couldn't be prouder to share it with you!
Thank you to La Poule Noire for their trust, and for creating such an amazing game. A big thank you as well to .tv , the game's publisher, it's always a pleasure working with you! 😌
Demo's out on Steam now, go check it out!
