SOME OF THE GAMES Ole WORKED ON
Accidental Dev Odyssey - Making of Harold Halibut, a Handmade Narrative Game
SLOW BROS., the games studio we co-founded, has been working on its debut feature title Harold Halibut for almost a decade. The game consists entirely of physically made models that are 3D scanned and assembled in the Unity engine. The result is a wholly unique stop motion-like visual quality that is deeply immersive through its carefully crafted interactivity.
The lecture attempts to cover our bumpy, yet fortunate journey. Going from students working on a hobby project, over the development of a very unusual asset and development pipeline, as well as the founding of a company to the final steps of the game's launch preparation.
