Fast Travel partners with new studio MoonHood on claymation game

MoonHood, a new studio from the creators of Lost in Random and Ghost Giant, today announced a new partnership with Fast Travel Games. The nascent developer is working on a new game which will feature assets handcrafted in the real world and scanned into the game as 3D models — so the in-game models will resemble clay sculptures, similar to stop-motion animation used in films.

Klaus Lyngeled and Olov Redmalm told GamesBeat they started the studio as part of a new venture after leaving Zoink, which Lyngeled founded in 2001. “I started this company because I wanted to be creative,” said Lyngeled. “I was working with clay and sculptures in my spare time, and I realized I could 3D-scan these characters quite easily. It started to turn into a story, and I talked with Olov about these ideas I had. I thought that if we started something new, it has to have a different approach.”
