🥁 We won 2x at The Lovie Awards, Recognising European Internet Excellence
❤️ Best of Augmented Reality with Logistics Unpacked for ZEOS
❤️ Best Web3 for katana with Katana / Polygon Labs
And while two years ago we won two Lovies in collaboration with creative partners in our role as a development studio, this time we took the trophies home with full creative ownership — that’s a huge step for ROCANI, and a big personal dream of us.
The dream, however, was never about winning two trophies.
The dream is to be recognised as a creative studio, proving that we can sustain the same level of flagship excellence we got awarded for in collaboration with creative partners, while now maintaining full creative ownership.
Mission accomplished 🙏🏻
Along the way, we also took a big step in defining our own brand world, exploring aesthetics and environments as a virtual space where our stories can live and grow.
This moment feels like a confirmation of our journey.
This video is our way of closing the year.
A thank you to all collaborators, old friends, new friends, and everyone who believed in the vision.
Stay tuned for ROCANI 2026 🛰️

On today's lab menu: Blob Tracking on ROCANI Jellyfish.
This is a beautiful example of how we use AI at our studio to generate footage and further play with it in a tool like TouchDesigner. AI not as the final output, but simply another powerful tool in our versatile pipeline.

⚔️✨ katana: a DeFi world with samurai spirit
Polygon Labs came to us with katana, their bold new vision in decentralized finance. In a space where assets often sit idle and apps compete for scraps of liquidity, Katana set out to bring order—turning idle assets into productive capital, building strength through unity.
Polygon Labs came to us with Katana, a bold new vision in DeFi: uniting assets into one ecosystem and turning idle capital into strength.
We built the launch website as an immersive scroll journey—smooth Japanese gradients, fluid motion, and visuals inspired by the sharp linework of mecha comics.
Our complete mission:
😺 Design and develop the marketing website
😻 Create 3D motion graphics explaining their features
🙀 A playful gacha machine for the pre-deposit phase
We'll share more about it in the coming days...

Visualising the features of Katana meant translating complex DeFi systems into something users could actually feel and understand.
The result: a series of looping 3D graphics that made abstract blockchain mechanics tangible and alive — a vault bridge moving with assets, a growing reservoir of liquidity, a living network of distributed tokens.
More like this coming soon… ✨

ICC Berlin. 1979.
A concrete spaceship.
Silent. Monumental.
Back open for a brief moment.
A small tribute to optimistic futures.
