Now that we have a fixed idea of exploring the concept of our main male character leaving one world and entering another world which is the complete opposite mean’t we had more scope and understanding when it came to finding some more inspiration.
For me, I know alot of my ideas and designs come from games and animations I have previously come across, some of my inspirations and ideas that are forming are linked to the videos below:
‘Made in Abyss’ is an anime adapted from a rather unknown manga which has rocketed in popularity since it’s release, although I am yet to watch all of it, the concept and designs are stunning and link to me and Hannah’s ideas. Made in Abyss centres around an isolated town with an Abyss going straight through the centre. Within is a world of danger, creatures and dark secrets, the main protagonists are a young male and female who wish to enter the Abyss knowing that they won’t be able to return to the world above.
Little Nightmares is an incredible Indie game which I have loved watching grow and develop. I haven’t personally played this game but I have watched the entirety of the gameplay online and was absolutely amazed by the narrative and concept designs. I think this will serve as a huge inspiration for me and Hannah when design the darker world.
