One of the very first aspects I worked on when starting the game’s development was the art direction. I’m always drawn to the art first in games, so naturally, this was my first step in development. I wanted to embrace that tiny-world aesthetic, so I pulled a lot of inspiration from my favourite game series, Pikmin. But I didn’t want to go for a realistic look like they did, so I decided to try a simpler, stylistic look.
The 3D-pixelated aesthetic is something I’ve always been drawn to for some reason. When I decided to go in that direction for the art, I knew I wanted to keep things low-poly and simple so there is visual clarity with the pixelation turned on while still having some nice details for those who want the pixelation off (since it’s completely optional). This direction heavily influenced the methodologies behind the art creation because everything had to be pixel-perfect now while preventing the scenery from being too noisy.
