Neva | Behind the Scenes

[@marcosmathison4777]

It's been 2 months since I lost my best friend... I remember spending hours telling him how Gris impacted my life and changed my view of many things I had been through. Today, I finished Neva. Without him. We were very excited from the moment the trailer came out. And again Nomada impacted my life and changed my view on something, but now it is perfectly accurate as part of the overcoming process. And what I learned was: No matter the beginning, there will always be an end. It doesn't matter if there was an end, there will always be a new beginning.

[@Patryk_Karwat]

Neva is an amazing experience. Everything is so well thought, just in point. So much elegance and proper weight between all elements. Graphic design with its quality is out of this world. Thank you for this emotional adventure. I really loved Gris, and this is just ... no words to describe that feeling. Real gem, true piece of art.

[@hauksart]

Neva is every bit as good as Gris. Gris helped me through my wife's cancer treatment, and the complications that came from the treatment. I also am not in good health, and we have been battling for years. I have 100% Gris, and have played through it many times, and anytime I need something beautiful to help me through a dark time. Gris and Neva are among my top 5 favorite games. As an artist, the art is extremely compelling for me. The story telling and gameplay in both games is excellent. You did a wonderful job.

[@ashman1983]

I hope this game won an award this year at the game awards. It was the best independent game he deserves it 🙏❤️‍🔥

[@Renderstone]

Can’t wait to see what nomada studios does next, Neva and Gris are both artistic masterpieces and are games I will never forget

[@ThibautMahringer]

Just finished Neva, you guys had me crying for 10 minutes, the ending was so perfect 😭❤

[@baptistedoux6975]

Again a Masterpieces Game ! Wonderful Graphics, Animations, LevelDesign, SoundDesign, GameDesign, Combat System ...! Thank you for this experience !

[@joshhornio49]

This was one of the best gaming experiences that I have had in a long time

[@kauszinho]

I played GRIS many times, each time I learned new things about the game and about myself, about the reality I lived in. NEVA came to show me more about new facets of existence, I can't wait to play and live the story of Alba and Neva... (The only thing stopping me is the lack of money at the moment)

[@kerstin1719]

It's amazing that this studio is able to tell such a beautiful tale using only one spoken word; and what impact that word has. I don't know how you managed to implement it, but the instant connection you feel with Neva blew my mind. I love both this game and Gris but Neva brought something that really clicked with me. Thank you for giving us this experience. ❤

[@ucheobidi]

Perfection. The beauty. The attention to detail. The ✨music✨. The breathtaking visuals. The artistry. Perfection.

[@ksokohoko9081]

Gris was clearly a therapy game. I don't remember any other game i've cried on.

[@THExRISER]

GRIS was a life changing experience, I look forward to trying Neva. Thank you for making both, you are an amazing team.

[@ariadneunsworth6248]

Life is a perpetual song of passion and courage that death cannot quench; when would the knives and guns of mankind bloom with buds and flowers? Thank you Nomada for the beautiful work. As a Miyazaki fan I cried non-stop at the ending.

[@alorsattique]

GRIS was poetry. This, who knows? Certainly love the studio's approach ❤

[@KatieSimmonds1]

Just finished it last night. Favourite game of this year. Stunning. Had me crying at the end 🥲🥲🩷

[@Layleao]

Gris was my favorite game.... UNTIL I FINISH NEVA. I dont even have words to express, how much emotion and love this game has

[@krimsonkodiak2097]

Such an amazing game, Nomada you all should be so proud! It is so incredibly beautiful in terms of art, design, and theme. The immediate bonding to puppy Neva is like nothing else. Gorgeous. Loved every second. I wish I could erase my memory and go back and experience this for the first time again and again.

[@Venus_Raven]

You have touched my soul once again. Extraordinary. The red she wears,ahhh like the red❤ when we feel love or the red when were angry or upset so you protect this white wolf a blank canvas but so bright that the only red i could have for the wolf is red passion.

[@elelinomada8303]

Omg the last seconds, those two together made me emotional.

[@Dobermayne]

Bawled my eyes out on my play through. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

[@madfox58]

Jugué la mitad del juego anoche y ya lo amo. La adición de combate simple es lo mejor que pudieron hacer para añadir un extra a a la fórmula de Gris sin que pierda la esencia de fondo. Muchas gracias por otra hermosa experiencia! Saludos desde Chile!

[@am_9944]

finished Neva yesterday a masterpiece 10/10 period. justl ike Gris that i played a few years back never stop making such masterpieces.

[@JinProds]

Increíble lo que habéis logrado. No puedo esperar el momento en el cuál dejarme llevar y emocionarme con vuestra nueva obra!

[@thomasray]

Neva is the perfect evolution of Gris. The same wonderful artistry, now unrestrained

[@mollypollard6278]

I couldn't help but snuggle my dog even more when I played Neva. It was such a beautiful game. The ending scene I just held my dog and cried. Stunning and hauntingly bittersweet game. Cannot recommend more.

[@Janeosaurus]

Neva is one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever seen with the most incredible style, music, character designs and story. I’m looking forward to crying while playing this. Thank you Nomada. ❤❤❤

[@Marion_MyAnh]

Conrad Roset art x Berlinist OST = my favorite type of game. ❤

[@JesusGarcia-yj5eb]

Es un juego hecho con amor, y eso se nota desde que entras a el. Personalmente no he jugado Gris. Neva seria mi primer juego del estudio, pero sin dudas lo jugare. Muchas gracias por hacer juegos tan bonitos, con carga emocional, arte y musica.

[@pexygate]

Ever since I saw the trailer for Neva at Summergamefest I was looking forward to it, and you guys didn't disappoint one bit. I can't even say what I loved most about the game, because it works so well as an experience. But I think what brought me the most joy was seeing how much you had evolved and grown as game devs. Playing Neva it felt so well crafted, thoughtful and inspired that I could very much FEEL that you guys made a game you 100% wanted to make. It has become so rare that the creative vision for a game doesn't get compromised. There is nothing in Neva that feels forced or put in to tick a box, just a concrete vision followed through to the end. I know you will see reviews and comments on Neva saying that it's not as good as Gris. I myself have already seen a comment like that where someone bemoaned the fact, that Neva didn't have as many puzzles as Gris. I can understand the feeling of disappointment when ones expectations aren't met, but Neva is not Gris 2 and the last thing I want is for a studio to believe their games will only be well recieved, when they make clones of their one hit game for all eternity. Please stay creative and brave, commit to your visions and execute them however you feel is best. Gris has shown that your ideas can resonate with a big group of people and I firmly believe that Neva and any future project of yours will also find their audience 💙

[@a_random_person_on_earth]

I'll never stop being amazed by their works.

[@phantomleaves]

Neva is phenomenal! Absolutely a work of art and the love you all put into the game really shows. I hate demanding things from a creator but I NEED a vinyl record of the soundtrack to add to my collection. Easy 9/10 from me

[@jmo7559]

Sois unos artistazos. Me encantó Gris y Neva me parece una brillante continuación. Hoy el arte, mas que nunca, está en los videojuegos: dibujos, musica, movimiento....¡Felicitaciones por tanto trabajo y por hacer posible la belleza!

[@LordRaydenTube]

You guys are incredible. ❤ Please keep on doing what you do.

[@spectrethefox5450]

I genuinely believe this is one of the best games ever made. I LOVED the story, I was incredibly endeared to the characters right from the first moment all the way to the end. It is visually STUNNING as well! I was having so much fun just walking through the gorgeous environments at the very beginning, even before the action and platforming picked up. The amount of detail in the animation and art is incredible. From the beautiful and lush nature of Summer; the unsettling, hellish blood moon dreamscape of Fall; the mystifying snow-swept lands and surreal pearly white towers of Winter; and finally Spring's breathtaking array of colors... There was never a sight I wasn't happy to see. Oh, and that haunting shot of countless birds dropping lifelessly out of the sky in the opening cutscene, as mysterious black flowers bloomed from their corpses... The puzzles were super fun and the combat was very satisfying. I also LOVE the creature and monster designs. The antler wolves are a spectacle with their white coats, huge stature, and the way they seem to phase into clouds when they attack alongside you, resembling a spirit. Every boss was horrifying, as well. I'll never forget the haunting sight of that gargantuan wolf in Fall, floating upside down in the black void over the pale moon, then watching you in eerie silence as the world bleeds red. I love how the floating structures and animals were used, too! The first time a tree spontaneously cracked in two and remained floating in the air was unforgettable. I must say, I was shocked at how Neva became so powerful so quickly. After spending all of Summer protecting her as she cowered away from the monsters, and struggling to clear a path for her to traverse the landscape as well as I could... It was a surprise that in only *one season* she had become eager to fight monsters with me; developing the ability to go invisible, fly, and heal with her howls. She was traveling the map faster and easier than I could, making all the jumps that I failed on her first try. Not to mention launching at enemies! I finally understand why parents say "How did you grow up so fast?!" The time really does feel like it passes by in an instant. It's like all of a sudden she knew all of these amazing skills, and I didn't even know how or when she picked them up. Such a subtle yet great metaphor. I really love the "evolving into a better team" aspect of this game. It really feels like you and Neva are working together and contributing pretty equally. I loved every time Neva suddenly popped out of invisibility mode to take down an enemy up ahead, it's like she's really got my back. Her being so helpful only made me miss her all the more when she was gone in Winter. Speaking of subtle storytelling, I love how heavily zoomed-out camera shots become more common with each season. I didn't realize the contrast until revisiting it, but Summer consists mostly of zoomed-in shots that make you feel very close to the characters. But just as in real life, as you grow, your world expands with you, and you often don't even realize how much more complex everything is now. And this is perfectly shown with the camera. Playing Neva, I experienced many of the same feelings I got from playing Little Nightmares 2 and Hollow Knight, some of my other favorite titles of all time. Thank you so much for this perfect game! I'll cherish it until the day I die 🤗

[@reext95]

As indie game developer one of my favorite parts of the game development is can see how good games like Neva was done, thanks for sharing it.

[@KinKiraLee]

You guys are amazing. Such a beautiful, emotional game S2

[@vanessadiazrodriguez5388]

Vengo después de recuperarme emocionalmente del final de Neva 😢. Nomada studio has creado dos de mis videojuegos favoritos que han resonado en mi corazón, tan profundamente. Esperaré el siguiente proyecto con ansias❤

[@ismaelgilmorillo7129]

Justo terminé Neva hoy y jugué Gris por primera vez hace dos días. Increíble los juegos. Como concept artist no pude evitar fijarme en todos los detalles increíbles y los diseños y animaciones de todo.

[@jessiejames968]

Just finished the game on Xbox and I have to say a rare perfect game. The charters, art, music, emotion all come together to make something truly special. My game of the year🎉

[@javi3518]

Desde Colombia les escribo, desde hace 30 años juego videojuegos, me gustó gris y ahora Neva me ha sorprendido para bien está excelente su trabajo, a mis hijos pequeños les encanta, una aventura muy emocionante, y cuando haces el salto y dash y el combate me gustó bastante. Felicitaciones y éxitos

[@muin2038]

Hands down Neva is the best game I have played this year. Period.

[@julie2452]

Thank you for making Neva! It was everything I wanted it to be and more. Absolute perfection.

[@Malienus]

You lovely people did something amazing... twice. GRIS helped me a lot as I played it during a very specific and difficult time for me. I was waiting for Neva. And you surpassed yourselves. This is also a beautiful game. THANK YOU! Edit: And of course: a WHOLE LOT OF APPRECIATION TO BERLINIST!

[@TheBrokenEclipse]

GRIS was such a special experience that really helped me through some of the toughest years in my life. I can't wait to try and experience Neva for myself!

[@fiero_sound]

Amazing games and amazing people behind them

[@trobi153]

finished playing Neva today. Loved every second of it! thank you for both gris and neva!

[@absence9443]

Absolutely lovely game, studios like yours keep the gaming landscape vivid!

[@eNePeCe8bits]

Felicidades por otro magnifico juego, y no pareis, habeis ganado un lugar merecido en esta industria.

[@LeonardoCastt]

Gran trabajo el de Conrad y todo el equipo, Nomada Studio es excelente, me encantó la historia, la música, la jugabilidad y visualmente como la obra maestra de GRIS, me hizo sentir tan emocional en varios momentos, Neva es un juego maravilloso ❤👏

[@RehloK]

Quise ver este vídeo tras acabar el juego y así ha sido. Obras como GRIS y ahora Neva, hacen que mi inspiración crezca, mi faceta artística se vea abrumada como tanto talento como el vuestro, y eso me hace feliz. Me ha encantado este Behind the Scenes, he podido ver algo que decía durante mi partida: cuánto cariño tiene este juego detrás. Gracias de corazón a todos los artistas involucrados en esto♥

[@Mohype]

Just finished the game! I gotta say that for me its a beautiful and impactful game that has some similarities to GRIS. Definitely a good evolution of the first game & I'm so glad that you included combat. I took so many screenshots, my jaw dropped many times! I'm very surprised with the difficulty as some of the enemies (The ones that throw stuff & those freaking block heads especially lol) made it quite challenging. Bravo to the whole Nomada team! P.S. The winter level where things are mirrored was such a nice evolution from GRIS' level and had me smiling at every challenging moment! Thank you & Much love!!💙 9/10

[@RemikChomicki]

Nomada Studio ❤ First time playing Neva and im crying 😢 thanks for this game.

[@jailsonoliveira2752]

Isso se chama perfeição. This is called perfection, a beautiful and wonderful thing, very good art.

[@maurotruscello1065]

No tengas miedo de la recepción, Conrad. Hiciste un MARAVILLOSO trabajo. Disfruté muchísimo este juego, lo terminé recien. Viendolos hablar del proyecto, empatizo al 100% con su visión artística y hasta me encantaría trabajar con ustedes jajajja. Espero con ansias más juegos a futuro, siento que ustedes tienen algo que está faltando en la industria gamer últimamente: pasión y/o amor por las experiencias que puede transmitir este medio, y eso para mi no se negocia. Muchas gracias por Neva!

[@MoonGhost54]

Already played it and I already know this game will remain in my top 5 list for a long time

[@JoViGameplay]

Maravilloso 🤩 Esperando como agua de mayo esa versión física 🙌🏻

[@Delae07]

Que maravilloso equipo, sigan creciendo nómada studio❤

[@ardibeltza77]

Felicidades, el talento y amor vertidos en éste juego se notan y traspasa la pantalla. En un solo día lo he comprado 3 veces, uno para mi, otro para mi hija y otro para un amigo, en cuanto empecé a jugarlo quise que otras personas tuvieran el privilegio de experimentarlo. Muchas gracias por vuestro trabajo.

[@andremesquita2850]

I bought Gris for my PS5 (amazing game), and I wiill buy Neva. Greetings from Portugal.

[@tybaltbaptiste8899]

absolutely beautiful!

[@jennpetitmh]

Personalmente parece un guión de mi vida lo que han hecho, cuando jugué a gris pasaba por un agujero negro bastante profundo y ese juego fue absoluta terapia, lloré bastante. Actualmente tengo un perro completamente blanco llamando Nobu, es como un lobo pequeñito, de verdad las coincidencias son preciosas. Os doy las gracias porque es más que un juego 💕💕👌🏼

[@blumieart]

Me genera mucha satisfaccion encontrarme con titulos como este sobretodo porque se que no es una tarea fácil contar una historia solo con lo que se ve y se experimenta y me encanta. Amo los juegos narrativos, ame Gris y ultra amé Neva. Me gustó mucho el diseño de niveles, pude notar todos esos detalles que mencionaron en el video sobre los niveles y la jugabilidad mientras iba jugandolo y estuvo buenisimo eso, muy bien logrado. El arte y la sonoridad a otro nivel ❤ Es un comentario más del montón, pero admiro mucho su trabajo ✨

[@MindETMuch]

Thank you very much for this bts video ! I am so glad Nomada Studio exists ! You bring so much good in our world with you art and your point of view. ❤

I love this "making of" video. I completely feel both Miyasaki's vibes 😅 My little fear is that it may spoil many scenes from the game for people not having finished the game (which hopefully is not my case)

[@pink_diuk]

Last night I finished Neva... WOW! You've created something amazing. You show that gaming is something more, that it's art, an audiovisual experience which is heart-tugging. Thank you for your work, thank you for another wonderful story, for another beautiful world. You're great!!! 💜

[@momotarodemo1]

Gris me gustó, pero Neva me ha encantado… Es más redondo, es una delicia rotunda. Lo tengo en Switch y creo que lo voy a comprar en PS5 también ;)

Will there be an art book for Neva? I found out about Gris far too late to get my hands on the art book, and I would buy one for Neva in a heartbeat. ♥️

[@NomadaStudiobcn]

We're working on it :)

[@jngarrettart]

@@NomadaStudiobcn Ohhh, that’s exciting to hear! I’ll keep my eyes open for any news from you guys on that.

[@Ksksksks89]

Amazing experince. I loved the game. Will you release a physical copy for ps4/5? For example as a bipack with gris and neva in a single disk, like made for limbo and inside?

This is why the video gaming industry needs ARTISTS. Because video games can be pieces of art. But they're are just way too sparse, sadly. Many many thanks for your job, and for your art
