LA-based Animation Rookie of the Year winner Allan
Bernardo recently graduated from The Gnomon School of
Visual Effects, and just completed an apprenticeship at Walt
Disney Animation Studios. “Fishing For Happiness is probably
the hardest (and the most fun!) project I have done at
school, because of the amount of work that it took. Four
characters and two variations of vehicles in a Twenties rainy
street environment in four weeks was tricky to pull off. The
most important thing when starting a project for me is
research and reference – lots of it. There’s nothing worse
than moving forward on any project without a road map.”
Devs Must Die is the young studio behind Skybolt Zack,
the Console and PC Game of the Year winner. The collective
of seven are Isart Digital Paris alumni, and Skybolt Zack was
their inal student project. Skybolt Zack is a fast-paced
arcade game. “It’s a platformer using a combat mechanic
inspired by rhythm games. It takes place in a post-
apocalyptic world inspired by Metal Slug and Advance Wars,”
explains Julien Jestin, game artist and co-founder.
“People are genuinely shocked when they discover how
amazing the student work is these days,” says Alwyn Hunt,
co-founder of The Rookies. “Even after all these years, we
are still constantly blown away with the quality and diversity
of new talent.” Play the demo for Devs Must Die’s Skybolt Zack at http://isart-digital.itch.io/skybolt-zack
