Byte Neko is a creative tech studio based in Vancouver, BC. We design and build interactive motion comics, bridging storytelling and technology to help game studios and IP creators captivate their audiences. Our work exists at the intersection of cinematic narrative, cutting-edge animation, and player-driven experiences—transforming stories into living, breathing worlds.
We believe the future of narrative experiences lies in merging art, code, and motion. Our mission is to craft tools and stories that empower creators to bring living worlds to life through animation, emotion, and interaction.
Every project we touch becomes a canvas where technology amplifies human creativity. We're obsessed with the rhythm of storytelling—the pause, the crescendo, the silence before impact. Motion isn't decoration. It's narrative.

Designing Emotions and Worlds
Cinematic Language
We study film theory, shot composition, and color grading applying these principles to sequential art and interactive media.
Game Design Thinking
Pacing, agency, and feedback loops shape how players engage with story we design for involvement, not passive consumption.
Comic Timing Mastery
Panel-to-panel transitions, gutter space, and visual beats create rhythm motion amplifies what comics have always done best.
Every frame, color, and transition serves a purpose to amplify emotion through movement. Our process combines film language, game design, and comic timing into cohesive, living storytelling. We're not just animating panels. We're choreographing experiences.
