2. Background & Project Story

Thunder Cloud Studio handled 2D environment design and 2D modular game assets for this project, creating layered scenes that support side-scrolling gameplay. Environment scenes were built with foreground, background, and tile-based elements to allow flexible use across levels.

The visual style follows a stylized look with solid colors, clean line art, and soft shading. Color saturation was kept balanced to improve readability while maintaining a cohesive and friendly game world.

3. The 2D Illustration Design Workflow

Thunder Cloud Studio followed a structured 2D environment design pipeline focused on clarity and efficiency. Each scene started with grayscale sketches to define layout, layers, and player flow, followed by controlled color passes. Finally, rendered with seamless tiles.

All environments, 2D game assets, and the character design were optimized and exported for direct in-game use.
