For the second project, my team wants to create a 2D aesthetic platformer(?) game set in a magical forest. From this general idea, here is my individual ideation:
Moodboard (you can view it on Pinterest as well)
Mood Playlist (you can view it on Spotify as well)
- One Summer Day by Joe Hisaishi
- A Town with an Ocean View by Joe Hisaishi
- The Flower Garden by Joe Hisaishi
- The Girl Who Fell From the Sky by Joe Hisaishi
- Dreamer by Laufey
- Melting by Kali Uchis
Sketches
Direction 1 – Explorable Map with different areas of forest, each area has their own aesthetic and game/story arc (vertical vs horizontal platformer).
Direction 2 – RPG/Dating Sim Style where player solve puzzles / complete tasks by having conversations with characters
Direction 3 – Animal Crossing/Pokemon style 3rd person gameplay where player can move more freely, and forest reveals itself as they walk through.
