Making of

From a drawing to a monster

How one of Benjamin's drawings becomes a monster you can run away from.

People keep asking how Benjamin and his dad are making a video game. This page follows one monster, Hungry, from a pencil drawing to the game.

We use AI tools for the artwork and the 3D models. The monsters, the names, the rules and the scary bits are Benjamin's.

Hungry's journey

Step 1

Hungry starts as a drawing, with the shape, name and mood already there. That drawing sets the direction for everything after it.

Step 2

We turn the drawing into a fuller artwork pass with AI tools. The goal is to keep Benjamin's character while adding detail.

Step 3

A flat image cannot move in a game world. So we convert it into a 3D model we can animate and test in scenes.

Step 4

Rigging adds bones inside the model so it can bend and move properly. Without this step, animation would not work.

Step 5

Now we add movement so Hungry can walk, turn and chase. This is where the monster starts to feel alive in the game.

Step 6

Sound gives personality and warning, so every monster has its own voice. Benjamin decides what each one should sound like in a chase.

The same pipeline for each monster: drawing, artwork, 3D model, then in the game.
