From the moment I saw Koira from Studio Tolima and Don’t Nod during June 7’s Day of the Devs showcase, I knew it was a game I wouldn’t forget.

It is unusual for one game to live rent-free in my mind like this during a period where dozens of titles are being shown off every day during this summer showcase season. But because of its crisp animation, striking minimalist yet vibrant aesthetic, and musical undertones, Koira was the biggest standout of June 2024’s Day of the Devs showcase for me.

Related “I love 2D hand-drawn animation, but I knew that these can be very time-consuming, especially for detailed characters. So, at the time, I was exploring characters designed in a single flat shaded color and without an outline,” Lega tells Digital Trends. ” I started by drawing a flat black character on an empty white background. It was a bit out of place, so I erased the base of their feet.

An animated adventure Koira’s visuals are immediately striking and fluidly animated but charmingly simple in a way that draws the eye’s attention and brings to mind games like Hauntii and Night in the Woods. Lega admits that creating Koira’s animation is very time consuming, so the developers have found shortcuts to help with animation while still giving Koira some eye-catching visuals.
