I’m a bit stumped on more things to add to make the world interesting, so if anyone has any ideas, that would be awesome. I think most of the interest comes from the shrine area of the game. A lot of things I’m planning such as blood splatters, flowers, and pawprints will be easier to do with repeated textures rather than modular models.









Trees/bushes/rocks/etc drawn from nature and various google images… I no longer have the specific reference for the tree.
Looking at your kit reminds me of the origins of Star Fox where Miyamoto walked through the Torii gates at Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine and was inspired by the fox creatures in the area. I think that looking at famous shrines in Kyoto would help to get the shrine aesthetic. Will you be connecting the locations with Torii gates?
I didn’t know that about Star Fox! I do plan on connecting the secret area to the rest of the shrine area by torii gate, yes.
