Behind the Scenes

1. Development Beginnings 

Hello, I’m Enrike Valiente, a developer alongside two others, responsible for design, art, 3D models, and also serving as director and producer. Background Bells is developed in Unity, and we’ve been working on it for about five years.

The idea came to me one day when I wondered what it would be like to make a game similar to Resident Evil, especially focusing on the environments. In the early Capcom games, the backgrounds were prerendered — flat images placed to simulate the perspective of the 3D environment where the character moved, with layers upon layers of different elements added on top.

With that idea, I began experimenting with various programs and learning, as I didn’t have much experience with Unity or Blender at the time. I decided that the game’s backgrounds wouldn’t be prerendered images, but hand-drawn environments. I would start from a 3D scene with a camera, then redraw the frame, which would later be placed in the 3D environment to simulate perspective so the character could move within the drawing.
