MIO: Memories in Orbit blends hand-drawn art with a 3D Metroidvania

Indie studio Douze Dixèmes’ MIO: Memories in Orbit fuses comic-style line work with painterly color and 3D space to deliver a hand-illustrated look in a Metroidvania. Art director Etienne Thibault-Buisson and render lead Joran steer a proprietary engine (with Blender) to enforce limited palettes, clean edges, and readable visuals for exploration, while level design supports non-linear discovery and culminates in a standout end‑game scene where the stage rotates around a giant character.

The game features a demon possession mechanic, stylish combat, and a compelling plot centered on Luca and Rhem, but offers little innovation in its genre. Despite its safe approach, it remains an entertaining action game with notable character development and visual flair.

"Exploring the Artistic Brilliance of No Rest for the Wicked: A New Action RPG Experience"

Moon Studios' upcoming game, No Rest for the Wicked, showcases a stunning art style that aims to look timeless and like a painting brought to life. The shift to 3D animation has allowed the studio to create a unique, hand-painted aesthetic, departing from the trend of photorealism in gaming. By focusing on art direction and design principles, the team aims to craft a fantasy world that feels fresh and unusual, yet believable and relatable. With attention to detail and a desire to create something unlike anything else in the market, Moon Studios hopes to achieve lasting visual appeal similar to their acclaimed Ori games.
