Environment graphics
Dev Diary 01
Hi guys!
We want to keep you in loop about what we are currently working on in Elfscape:Ancestors.
Today’s update will be from our graphics section.
Levels in Elfscape are divided into 6 environments and each environment has its own theme. They differ in colour and design. However, 3 of the environments are greenish in colour.
original green colour scheme (green 1)
other 2 green environments (green 2, green 3)
Because of optimisation of level difficulty, we had to change the order of the environments - which left us with 2 greenish environments next to each other (green 1 and green 3). And that’s a problem. So then Kika, our main animator, tested out different colour schemes. She tried to keep the spirit of the level and simultaneously change the colour to something new. Take a look at some of the proposals.
blue and green colour scheme - not enough change, still too green
yellow colour scheme - we felt this one wasn't the "right one"
burgundy colour scheme - problem, because next level is red
the other red level
greyish-green colour scheme - we felt this one wasn't the "right one"
The winning colour scheme is purple and green (similar to the colour of a robot from your favourite anime, Get in the f***ing robot Shinji!).
winning colour scheme - purple and green
