Expanding into original entertainment has been a major focus for G2, and Red Aura is only the beginning of what we want to build.”
“The world of Red Aura is fresh and original, which made it really enjoyable to work on,” Runbel said in a press release. “It was a lot of fun working with producer Daniel using camera work to create cool action panels that have never been seen before, and I was always inspired by his passion to try new things. I am very honored to have been a part of it. I hope you enjoy it.”
