Hand Drawings: The First Ideas Behind Hopp Hopperr


The latest Hopp Hopperr ideas began not in a digital design file, but directly on paper. These hand drawings are the first design notes exploring Tom Hopple’s appearance, the game’s paths, its obstacles, and its colorful world.

Where the ideas began on paper

Drawn on A4 paper, these sketches capture the game’s early ideation process. Each drawing explores a different idea for the character’s movement, the rhythm of the environment, or a new surprise the player might encounter.

An early stage with open-ended ideas

Hopp Hopperr is still in the ideation stage. These images are not final character designs, gameplay screenshots, or confirmed game features; they are preliminary explorations used to make ideas visible and investigate different directions.

The original creative direction begins with the game designer’s hand drawings. AI-assisted development helps us quickly explore different visual interpretations of these ideas. As Tom Hopple’s adventure takes shape, we will continue to share new drawings and concepts.
