Currently LuGus Studios is working on Project Growth, an Education Game where children can learn and play in a safe and fun game environment. We dive into our rich cultural history by creating a world based on old Belgian folklore. With our background in arts we are aiming to create a games that is not only fun to play but also has a rich artistic visual style.

As I've said before, this is pretty amazing work.
I could suggest perhaps maybe floating fireflies to illuminate the atmosphere or add color contrast to the world. =D
I agree about those suggestions. These screenshots are made in an early test level, and do not represent what the final game will look like. Our main levels should all be underground, so no atmosphere, but we will definitely try to add more light and color to our environments. We also plan to 'play' with some nice particle effects to create floating mushroom spores that give off some light.
Fireflies and glowworms are planned too and will infact play a big role in our games. The player will have a pet glowworm that can evolve in a firefly later on. Those will light up the environment around the player, so they are never in the dark. This is what they will look like: Sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net
Thanks for your feedback!
