Murder by Numbers has a special place in our hearts. This was the first game trailer/intro we made after setting up Studio Meala, and we couldn’t have asked for better folks to collaborate with than Mediatonic.
The brief from the Mediatonic team was a lot of fun from the get-go. A bunch of us are big fans of Ace Attorney and Picross, so when the gang said they wanted an animated intro for a game that was both of things smushed together, it felt like a dream job.
The pipeline on this one was our usual bread-and-butter of frame-by-frame 2D animation using TV Paint.
Opening up a Nintendo Switch game, and watching something we produced as the first thing you see when booting up the game was something we’ll never forget. We’re still so thankful to the Mediatonic folks for giving us that experience.
