It blew the dust from my synapses.

It’s also now got a release date - 16th September - and a new trailer below.

As with many of King-Spooner’s games, Judero makes use of hand-animated stop-motion.

Handily, he can possess some of those leering stop-motion creatures and make use of their abilities.

Here’s some insight from the Steam page about the game’s visual direction.

Judero is made from handcrafted objects and bespoke figurines, animated in the stop-motion tradition.

These real life elements are then rendered into a 3D world to evoke a unique visual style.

Using this style we can bring in digital techniques like real-time lighting, shaders and post-processing effects.

Cutscenes will be made using traditional stop-motion animation techniques with greater fidelity to give a more cinematic quality.

Many of these songs are hundreds of years old and it has been an honour researching and learning them.
