If you were as mesmerized by the animation in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as I was, and found yourself wondering what you've been doing with your life while animators like BUCK consistently deliver masterpieces (think Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level), you'll be thrilled to learn that the award-winning animation and design studio is now venturing into game development.
BUCK has officially launched its new gaming division, BUCK Games, which coincides with the debut of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo. This game intertwines with the film's narrative, offering a unique interactive experience. But this isn't BUCK's first dive into the gaming world; they previously released the engaging roguelite puzzler Let’s! Revolution!. With over two decades of experience in animation and design, serving clients like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK's portfolio speaks volumes about their expertise and creativity.
Given their track record, it's reasonable to anticipate that future releases from BUCK Games will maintain, if not exceed, the high-quality standards seen in their mobile offerings.
Michael Highland, Creative Director of BUCK Games, shared, “Developing a game connected to a larger world was a new challenge, and demanded adaptability and ingenuity from our team. We set out with an ambitious, unconventional vision, and our partners pushed us to make it the best version possible.”
