Rayman is finally back, and it was an absolute blast pouring all the love I have for this character and his world in this new adventure. I want to remember tho that this is a team effort, and I want to say that this wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for my colleagues (⬇️)

I'd say we begin with some behind the scenes... the expressions are probably the thing I enjoyed doing the most 😂as they set the bar for how expressive the character should have had. #RaymanInThePhantomShow #Rayman

Did you know that before becoming a manga, Kingdom Hearts started out as a european comic? It was made here in Italy as a one-shot episode titled "The sceptre and the Kingdom". The magazine was sold to whoever preordered the game in Europe. #KingdomHearts #KH4 #KH20th

I'm actually sorry for those who wanted a DK solo game, but at least this is the right direction. For those who haven't tried the original first Mario vs DK game (on gba), this is actually a beautiful puzzle platformer game, with many cute and clever mechanics.
