Tapiola Games

I was asked to join the Espoo New Year festival for the New Year's Eve 2024, so I made this pixel animation game trailer for a non-existing game. The game is inspired by 80s compilation sport games such as Summer Games & California Games I used to play on Commodore 64. The trailer shows three games: a racing game in Tapiola's main roundabout, tetris in the local landmark building and swimming game in the now-demolished swimming hall. The locations are also shown on a map in the trailer.

The animation was done in Photoshop (for the individual elements) and After Effects (actual animating) and projected on the wall of Tapiola Church for about a week starting on New Year's Eve.
