Looks like 3D? But everything here is 2D

Every forest in our game Vaska we made from layers in 2D – fog, water, trees, particles, and a tiny orange cat who has no idea what's going on around him.

We're deep into development, tweaking, polishing, making sure every layer works together.

This is not that kind of tadpole you want to meet

We made a giant tadpole. It has a whole set of animations: idle, walk, run, scream, and devour. Personally, I wouldn't want to meet it in a swamp. But it fits right into our game.

It’s one of the creatures cat Vaska runs into in the forest while trying to find its way home. The cat is just trying to get back. This guy is not helping.

Still tweaking the animations (especially the devour state). Honestly, I think it turned out pretty well for a swamp monster.

If you like what you see – wishlist our game Vaska on Steam, we'd really appreciate it 💚

Behind the scenes of Vaska – what we see as developers

Every level in Vaska is built from dozens of layers – fog, water, background trees, particle systems. The cat is the small orange dot at the bottom. He has no idea how much is going on around him.

11 levels done. A few more to go.

This is what's hidden behind the forest you walk through. Every layer you never see – flying through it for the first time, we still find it kind of beautiful.

Vaska – a cozy adventure about lost cat finding his way home through a magical forest

Hey everyone!

Meet Vaska – a small cat who wandered too far and now has a log journey ahead.

You move slowly. You stop and look around. You listen before you take the next step.

The forest is beautiful and atmospheric. Nothing happens if you're careful. The tension is quiet, not loud.

No combat, no weapons. Just a small cat and a long way home.

Working on stealth moments in our game Vaska. You play as a cat, hiding in the grass. Just tension. You must be quiet – because the enemy is always watching.

Old on the left, new on the right. Still tweaking, but feels more immersive already.
