30XX

Batterystaple
Half Giant was thrilled to join forces with Batterystaple for the creation of the exhilarating trailer for their game, 30XX.

Our concept for the trailer involved showcasing the captivating story elements of 30XX through a fast-paced montage. In under 30 seconds, we wanted to introduce players to the array of enemies, NPCs, and formidable bosses they would encounter on their journey. Drawing inspiration from anime montages typically seen at the start of morning breakfast TV shows, we crafted a dynamic sequence that captures the essence of the game.

Furthermore, the trailer highlights a core game mechanic of 30XX: the roguelike experience. Witness the cycle of battling bosses, facing defeat, and returning with newfound strength and knowledge. Immerse yourself in the thrilling world of 30XX and embrace the challenge of overcoming obstacles with each subsequent attempt.
"Half Giant immediately understood how to make 30XX shine as if they'd been embedded with the team all along! They were easy to work with and produced stellar results."
