Proposal:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golden Fire came from my experiences in Wyoming and from some concept art I made about a year ago. The player is a fire jewel character who is mysteriously trapped in the bottom of a large hole in the middle of winter and in the middle of the night. I have created fire and ice NPCs, but I might just keep Fleek(Main protagonist) for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
The character I will put in if time allows(I used for coming up with ideas), I will call them Jac for now but the house is intended to stay.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

(Insert Ice Image)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key objects to find are golden eggs hidden in the natural environment that seem to open a way out of this area. Another key object is a house in the distance which can be seen from the bottom of the hole. The world is wild and in the middle of nowhere, all that can be seen is a gondola (or train) going over the pit. One of the gameplay highlights will be the free exploration, collectathon, and mysterious aspect to it. The intended audience is people who like a story with layers and random spawning artifacts. The game style will be low poly and will focus on lighting and particle effects to bring the area to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ART STYLE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The genre goes off of calming simulation games with a collectible influence on them. I really like the low-poly models in 3D with specific lighting. This was inspired by the harsh winters of Wyoming and the very dark days in British weather. This game is going to be very stylized. Color is shown on the mood board below in circles. The objects should be light but the environment should be dark because of nighttime. Lots of shapes will be used. The pit will be large yet explorable. There will be minimum textures but many edges. It will be third person. It will be winter at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Art Concepts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I showed a majority of the colors above that are not final, but here are some ideas for the environment, I am thinking about starting small and working up in order to not overburden myself by accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Player perspective 3D for Golden Fire, the environment will be expanded on.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

General ideas for initial placements, I chose a Gondola to go above, but any feedback is welcomed.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

mood board:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Starting from top left going right:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.) Fox is in the game First Tree which inspired my gameplay and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) This was to show the nighttime camping feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.) The snow-covered trees intend to show the art style to be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.) The golden eggs are the collectible I want to implement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.) The deep purple forest is a color I want to be a focusing point in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.) These trees are more of a concept I want to explore art-wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.) The red jewel represents Fleek’s warm yet shiny design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.) The gondola will be something moving overhead all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.) The cliff represents the hole Fleek is in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.) I was also inspired by Journey and the snow levels of that game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question:<\/strong> Is there anything that I should add to the map to make the place look isolated but still fun to explore?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
