ZA/UM Studio has announced a new mod for the critically acclaimed video game Disco Elysium, and it won’t take long for Nintendo Switch owners to try it out. The new mode is called Collage Mode which allows players to have the ability to create and place a scene in and around Martinaise. They’ll have full access to characters, environments, effects and custom dialogue to create the screenshots they’ve always wanted and invent brand new dramas from unforgiving punches to fruity but forbidden kisses.
“Collage Mode is an amazing tool that puts the characters, environments and visual effects from Disco Elysium in the hands of all players to create original art. It also lets you inspect our brush strokes up close and lets you pose and rotate character models as if they were toys in the palm of your hand. You can really see up close how the artists have come together to create the game’s signature look, which extends to the brand new art we’ve created specifically for this mode.”
Kaspar Tamsalu, artistic director of ZA/UM Studio
“This latest update offers a whole new way to explore the world of Disco Elysium as it’s simultaneously a dollhouse, a blank canvas and a storytelling machine. We made this for our immensely talented fans because we’ve spent years admiring everything they create, from gorgeous paintings to memorable short stories and amazing cosplay — now we hope there’s a lot more to come! We just ask that they be gentler on Kim Kitsuragi, he can only take so much love.”
Chris Priestman, head of collage mode.
Key features of Collage Mode include:
PLACE AND POSE
Place, rotate and resize your favorite characters in the game’s picturesque environments, then choose from a range of silly and sane poses to strike.
WRITE THE DIALOGUE
Create an entire story with a single image by entering custom text that can be placed anywhere and even made to look authentic with the FELD dialogue reel.
BE AESTHETIC
Bring out your inner Art Cop by applying weird and wonderful filters; choosing between rain, fog and snow; as well as changing the time of day to capture the exact mood you’re looking for.
SHUT THEM UP
Put gauntlets and weapons in the hands of the innocent with a huge collection of items and clothing stickers, or add extra style with new and outstanding art from our talented contributors.
FRAMING IT
Finish by choosing a frame that will round out your fantasy with bold themes like Kim Catsuragi, F**k The World, Visual Calculus and Building Communism.
BONUS! SECRETS TO FIND
Look for never-before-seen scenes from the history of Martinaise if you have a sharp enough eye for it, and enjoy the velvety new voice of the game’s narrator.
