Pixel Tribe's Goddess Order: A Deep Dive into Pixel Art and Gameplay

This email interview with Ilsun (Art Director) and Terron J. (Contents Director) from Pixel Tribe offers a fascinating look behind the scenes of their upcoming Kakao Games title, Goddess Order. We explore their pixel art techniques, world-building process, and innovative combat design.

Pixel Perfection: Crafting the Characters

Ilsun explains that the game's high-quality pixel art aims for a console-like feel, emphasizing storytelling. Character design draws inspiration from a wide range of games and stories, with the focus on nuanced expression through pixel arrangement rather than direct imitation. The initial characters, Lisbeth, Violet, and Jan, emerged from Ilsun's solo work and were collaboratively refined through discussions with colleagues, shaping the overall art style. This collaborative approach continues, with scenario writers and combat designers contributing to character concepts which are then brought to life by the art team.

World-Building from the Ground Up

Terron J. reveals that Goddess Order's world-building is intrinsically linked to its characters. The initial trio, Lisbeth, Violet, and Jan, formed the foundation for the game's narrative and gameplay. The characters' inherent personalities, motivations, and stories drove the world-building process, creating a rich and immersive setting. The emphasis on manual controls in combat stemmed from the team's desire to showcase the characters' strength and agency within the game's narrative.

Dynamic Combat: Design and Animation

Goddess Order's combat system features three-character turn-based battles with link skills promoting synergy. Terron J. details the design process, highlighting the importance of defining unique roles for each character to ensure strategic depth. Ilsun adds that the art team strives for visually impactful combat, using three-dimensional movement principles within the 2D pixel art to create dynamic battles. The team even uses real-world weapons to study movement for added realism. Technical optimization is crucial, ensuring a smooth and immersive experience on mobile devices, even on lower-spec hardware.
