The footage showed a stop-animated Harold (or what looked stop-animated) cleaning up graffiti in an underwater facility. The striking visuals inspired a thought I don\u2019t often have \u2013 how did they do that? It was my first question for game director Ole Tillmann and art director Onat Hekimoglu when I recently spoke with them.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"jlvid_container\"><iframe title=\"Harold Halibut - Story Trailer 2021\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ua_qqaAQsBk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe actually started with the idea of wanting to make a stop motion game,\u201d Tillmann says while citing that the first steps he and his team took toward making the game were in 2011. Harold Halibut is not truly stop-motion animated, but everything you see in the game is something the team has made in the real world. \u201cWe build sets and the puppets, and then we 3D-scan everything to make 3D models out of them,\u201d Tillmann says. \u201cOf course, they need some manual tweaking. But ultimately, we basically have the same kind of 3D models you would use in any other 3D game, which means we also have all the possibilities.\u201d The result is a beautiful visual style that genuinely looks hand-crafted.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the team\u2019s background is focused more on the art of making models and film as opposed to video games. \u201cThe whole team has very diverse backgrounds, from all kinds of different things that are not necessarily game-related,\u201d Hekimoglu says. \u201cWe have lots of people in our team who hate games. But it\u2019s actually a nice and interesting check to see if \u2026 if they like this game, then it will also work for people who are non-gamers,\u201d Hekimoglu says.<\/p>\n<article data-embed-button=\"image_browser_uploader\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:file.body_default_rendered\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"{&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;link_target&quot;:0,&quot;link_original&quot;:0,&quot;image_source&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;embed_source&quot;:0,&quot;image_caption&quot;:&quot;Game director Ole Tillmann and art director Onat Hekimoglu show off the model created for Harold&quot;,&quot;embed_caption&quot;:0,&quot;content_warning&quot;:0}\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"94fe2ea9-7dfc-4c35-a4cb-f7c169211cd2\" data-langcode=\"en\" class=\"embedded-entity\">\n<div class=\"file file--type-image file--mimetype-image-jpeg file--view-mode-body-default-rendered\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-uri field--type-file-uri field--label-hidden gi5-uri gi5-file-uri field__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2024\/02\/07\/a3e4ba39\/harold.jpg\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default lazyload\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Game director Ole Tillmann and art director Onat Hekimoglu show off the model created for Harold<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p>The premise of the game is as compelling as the visuals. During the Cold War, a community of explorers and scientists left Earth, fearing its destruction. The mission was somewhat successful. The ship exited Earth searching for a new habitable planet, but it crash-landed on one covered in water, where external atmospheric issues prevented it from escaping. The ship and the folks living on it decided to make do with what they had. Now, generations of humans have survived for hundreds of years on this underwater planet.<\/p>\n<article data-embed-button=\"image_browser_uploader\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:file.body_default_rendered\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"846da2d4-2ac6-4773-b207-54c22dcf6dbd\" data-langcode=\"en\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"[]\" class=\"embedded-entity\">\n<div class=\"file file--type-image file--mimetype-image-jpeg file--view-mode-body-default-rendered\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-uri field--type-file-uri field--label-hidden gi5-uri gi5-file-uri field__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2024\/02\/07\/51b296ae\/03_0.jpg\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default lazyload\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>Harold, alongside everyone he knows and meets throughout the game, has been on the ship his whole life. A short window of opportunity has appeared, however, granting them a brief chance to potentially leave and finally return to Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Tillmann and Hekimoglu showed me some gameplay that involved exploring the ship, meeting its residents, and helping them wherever possible. Harold moved between ship sections by climbing into a pipe that would fill with water and essentially flush him to a different area.<\/p>\n<article data-embed-button=\"image_browser_uploader\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:file.body_default_rendered\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"ed7c0998-f2bb-41aa-83f8-b6576708bc38\" data-langcode=\"en\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"[]\" class=\"embedded-entity\">\n<div class=\"file file--type-image file--mimetype-image-jpeg file--view-mode-body-default-rendered\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-uri field--type-file-uri field--label-hidden gi5-uri gi5-file-uri field__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2024\/02\/07\/f9e79388\/04_0.jpg\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default lazyload\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>Harold Halibut is an adventure game, but potentially complicated puzzles shouldn\u2019t scare you off. \u201cWe were thinking about a point-and-click adventure, and we thought no, it would slow the story down. So why don\u2019t we drop like all the puzzles?\u201d Tillman says, citing the success of games like Night in the Woods and Firewatch giving them confidence that players would embrace an adventure game focused entirely on narrative. Still, the team was not interested in making a film. \u201cAt one point, we really thought about a case that while this is a very cinematic and narrative-focused game, there is still something that the interactivity adds to it,\u201d Hekimoglu says. \u201cEven if it\u2019s just walking around and talking with people, because it enables a more empathic connection to the medium.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harold Halibut has been in the works for a long time, but it will finally be released this year on Xbox Game Pass alongside other platforms. <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/924750\/Harold_Halibut\/\">You can check out a demo for the game right now on Steam of part of Next Fest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p class=\"text-align-center\"><em>This article originally appeared in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/magazine\">Issue 361<\/a> of Game Informer.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first teaser trailer for Harold Halibut was released seven years ago and was only a minute and a half long, but it immediately grabbed my attention.
