Housemarque “Nex Machina Teaser”

Piñata directed and created an arcade infused teaser trailer for Nex Machina, game developer Housemarque’s collaboration with legendary game designer Eugene Jarvis.

Visual inspiration for mixing classic anime and Saturday morning cartoons with a modern twist came from the game itself. Eugene Jarvis is known for classic Atari arcade video games such as Robotron: 2084 and Defender. The action packed game needed a action packed animated teaser and Piñata was up to deliver it!
