01The project

About the game

Sugardew Island is a cozy farming and shop-management game by Rokaplay: players grow crops, care for animals and run a farm shop on an island, trading with its Forest Folk. It is out on PC and consoles, including Nintendo Switch.

Rokaplay asked us to create custom lighting for Sugardew Island to bring its unique style to life. We also added VFX to polish the visuals, and optimization was a key part of the project to keep the game running smoothly.
