We were having great results with the optimization of the project as we had the game running smoothly on the Nintendo Switch playing it was simply amazing. Since every single bit plays an important role, the extra content needed to be designed to fit and feel perfectly.Īlex Preston had already “green-lighted” some weapons and new suits that the team had designed. Hyper Light Drifter is a very symbolic game, where the music, atmosphere, and each pixel, all have a meaning contributing to a bigger master plan. When first given the task to design the extra content for this great game, I knew it was not going to be an easy one. At any rate, we were all very excited to be presented with this opportunity. We started making games for Nintendo 14 years ago, even though our core team started off with making Nintendo games back in the 90s. The adaptation and publication of Hyper Light Drifter - Special Edition for iOS and Nintendo Switch was given to us, Abylight Studios - Spanish publisher and developer. The game pays homage to 8-bit and 16-bit games, and is considered by its lead developer Alex Preston as a combination of T he Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Diablo.

Hyper Light Drifter is a 2D action roleplaying game developed by Heart Machine. Today, I would like to share how the additional content for Hyper Light Drifter - Special Edition was conceptualized and created, and how channeling the main character manifested as a legit content building approach. My name is Miguel García, and I am the Creative Director of Abylight Studios.
