We love collaborating with artists who bring different crafts and perspectives to our worlds. 🎨🎶 From Rob Guillory’s digital comic to Adrian Villagomez’s Songs & Tales, Clyde Henry’s stop-motion and Olivier Deriviere’s soundtrack. Different crafts and perspectives, one world.

Two-Toed Tom needed a full orchestra to make his jump scares even more terrifying. So, we recorded South of Midnight’s OST at Abbey Road with the London Contemporary Orchestra. Honestly? Worth it. 🐊🎶 #SouthOfMidnight #CompulsionGames #BehindTheScenes #GameDev #Orchestra

Turns out making a tree move is… a lot of tiny movements. 🌳 Built by hand. Moved frame by frame. 🎞️ And yes, it took forever. 😅 #SouthOfMidnight #CompulsionGames #GameDev #IndieStudio #StopMotion #BehindTheScenes #ClydeHenry
