at underwater art to help inspire me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The one environment which stands out to me is the one designed like a room with a door and mirrors. This is environment concept art created by Marcin Rubinkowski. This reminds me of the <em>Fran Bow <\/em>gameplay where you go from room to room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My original idea before looking at this was to have a goal being the player to reach the surface of water manually however I really like the idea of having rooms instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rooms could start off darker surrounded by sea life that only live at that depth to give a subtle hint of how deep in the water you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Link to Marcin Rubinkowski&#8217;s portfolio: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artstation.com\/marcinrubinkowski\">https:\/\/www.artstation.com\/marcinrubinkowski<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alice In Wonderland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-57.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-267\" style=\"width:304px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-58-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268\" style=\"width:359px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-58-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-58-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-58-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-58.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Alice in Wonderland <\/em>is a tale that follows a young girl named Alice down a rabbit hole that leads her to a warped world called Wonderland.

Some of the sea life you may be able to communicate with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like <em>Fran Bow<\/em> you have to complete puzzles in each room to then move to the next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To begin I started a research method mind map to remember to explore different variants.
