The Treepoids Project

"The Treepoids and the Island of Professor Flora" is the first own project of PSYCRAFT – SUPERNATURAL GAMES. We and the Treepoids already won some awards, funding and a lot of green thumbs up. Now we're constantly working on a prototype to bring our supernatural friends and their plantastic world to life!

Take a look and we are happy about every feedback and follower from any channel.

A hand-painted adventure

The Treepoids game is about exploration, tricky puzzles, strategic battles and the fascinating story of living trees from outer space. Sounds like "The adventures of Indiana Jones" in green? Exactly, that's what it is.

PSYCRAFT - #SupernaturalGames - hand-painted adventure games - "The Treepoids" - hand-drawn art and animation

Artstyle

It’s all hand-painted! Each environment, prop, animation and character is created by a smart head and a loose hand. For us the perfect way to give the Treepoids world a more organic look and some extra fun by extending the reality.

Animations

With classic frame by frame animations we put a mixture of natural and fun movement to our characters and environment.

Special Effects

To give the player a fascinating and more “real” feeling of atmosphere and perspective we push our world with additional 2DFX/VFX, 2,5D mechanics, parallax effects and shader.

Platforms

The Treepoids project has a focus on consoles, like Switch, Playstation and Xbox, but will be available for Mac and PC in the future too.

They Live

To get a better feel for our new best friends, we created 3D prints of them (ok, except for the very first version, which we made out of modeling clay). Always feels good to shake “hands” with our project in real life. And they still cut a good figure as toys, too.
