Fran Bow Indie Game Inspiration

Fran Bow an Indie game created by a couple in Sweden took off when it came out after youtubers such as Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Daz Games and Jacksepticeye started to play the game on their channels. I discovered this game (Like little Nightmares) through these youtubers playing them. Fran Bow is one of the most creatively powerful and unique games I’ve had the pleasure of watching for a long time.

It’s games like these that really motivate me to keep trying new things with my artwork and animations and indie games is something I’ve always considered going into. Fran Bow has alot of cultural and historical references mixed with fantasy all from the perspective of a young innocent child.

Me and Hannah have come to a slight cross road where we need to figure out what we want our animation to say, yes we are aware it doesn’t have to have a fixed message but we want it to be meaningful and connect to the collective unconsciousness of our viewer.
