Xeodrifter Manual Art

I had the pleasure of illustrating and designing the layout for Limited Run's boxed editions of Xeodrifter for the PS4 and Vita. The developers and I wanted it to feel truly nostalgic and reminiscent of the old NES manuals, in which simple 16x16 sprites were depicted as grotesquely detailed illustrations. Original sprite art by Jools Watsham. Manual content written/planned by Matt Gambrell.

Look! An actual video game manual! Original pixel art by Jools Watsham.
