We made one in 5 weeks

In October 2025 Daedelic Entertainment asked us to make a cinematic 2d animated launch trailer for their game Bloodgrounds.

The problem

You have build something amazing. Getting people to feel that before they play it is the hard part.

Most developers spend years making their game. Then a few weeks on a gameplay trailer that shows the mechanics, the features, the world. It looks fine. It tells people what the game is. But something is missing.

This trailer shows the game, but it does not make anyone feel why it matters. 

48 games launch on Steam every day. A gameplay trailer is not enough to get attention. What can stop peoples scroll is the moment your game becomes a story someone wants to be part of. 

Most indie games dont show this in a trailer. Not because it does not exist — but because they are too busy with everything else.

This is where we can help.

Questions

Hi, we are Studio Huckepack!


We are an independent 2D animation studio founded in 2017.

Everything we make is handcrafted *no AI-generated frames!* Every frame is drawn by a human who cares about it.

We are based in Cologne, Germany, 500 metres from the Gamescom venue. We work with indie studios and publishers across Europe.

Clients include Daedalic Entertainment, Devolver Digital, WDR, Cartoon Saloon, and Bildundtonfabrik.

For us, respect is not an extra – it’s the foundation.

Respect for the project, the message, the people, and the world we work in. We believe in better over more. In responsibility over ego. And in the idea that good work always requires good collaboration.
If that matters to you too, we’d love to get to know you.
