This work is our debut, and hand-painted art, orchestra music, and a sense of immersive with a unique game system.

Are you the most favorite game? It is a difficult question ... because I love all the games! Still, I think that the àoter World (Another World) ** (Eric Shay work released in 1991) will definitely enter the top 5!

-Why did you start developing this work?

Rodrigo Latin American game industry is developing. And there are not many big game studios. As we wanted to create a game since before, we decided to launch the project. At that time, there was another job, so the development of this work has been done using an empty time for several years. And in 2019, we decided to work full-time in the development of this work! We exhibited this work on Pax West and everything has started!

- Please tell me the characteristics of this work.

Rodrigo In this work, I would like to introduce a new concept to the genre called 2D puzzle action. Three playable characters with different capabilities appear in this work. The player solves the puzzle while switching these three people and advancing the world of Azur.

Also, since we wanted us to experience a unique and attractive experience visually, we will adopt hand-painted art and animation, and this is the quality of the player by fusing with the soundtrack by the orchestra I think I can provide a high experience.

- What kind of person do this work do you want to play?

People who like Rodrigo puzzles and stories, as well as those who are familiar with the 2D puzzle action, this work will be enjoyed! There is a difficult system to operate three characters simultaneously in this work, but by proceeding with the game, it is possible to master naturally.

-Did you have an impact on development by new coronavirus?

There was a Rodrigo impact, but it was not so big. Some people have been based in Mexico, but some people who have cooperated include Argentina, Ecuador and Venezuela. Since they were previously working remotely, there was no significant change for us in that sense.
