Do Not Feed The Monkeys 2099

Fictiorama + Joystick Ventures
We were thrilled to collaborate once again with Joystick Ventures on their upcoming game, Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099. This project provided us with the exciting opportunity to capture gameplay and seamlessly integrate it with animation, allowing us to strategically showcase the game mechanics and complement the narration for an immersive experience.

Our goal was to create an introductory video that resembled a staff orientation VHS, injecting humour and engaging storytelling. To achieve this, we partnered with the talented writer Nick Schaedel, co-creator of Good Grief, to help us craft a strong and humorous script.
"We wanted to mix different art styles and yet honor the essence, looks and humour of the game since it's a sequel and we knew that it required a lot of care and Half Giant delivered not just that but an incredible story that connects all the dots in the right places"
