  • Visual Arts Category Nominee (1)

    Gravity as a new standard for movement "GRAVITY DAZE" Development Team （Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. ）

    Reason for nomination

    The team uses carefully designed BG placement and animation to express changes in gravity to make movement, which tends to be monotonous in the open world, a key component of the game.
    With bande dessinée as its concept, the game surprisingly incorporates a vertical structure in the map to meticulously create a massive background in every scene to complete the work full of originality.
