Animated narrative week 10

This work examines the idea of using sound and visual style to create a feeling. The style of this game is adapted from the previous music box scenario. The soundtracks used will still be in music box style. Thus, a mood board is created to show the visual style fit to it.

By using creepy lowpoly model assets cooperating with music box soundtracks, I am able to give players a feeling of being in a mysterious place. Also, the sound of music box are connected to the image of ghost or doll toy.

This work is similar to the game Little Nightmares developed by Tarsier Studios which also use cartoon style assets to form a mysterious atmosphere and trigger players’ childhood fears.

By creating a mood board of visual style, I established a guideline for modelling assets next. It examines the effects of the combination of visual style and sound style.
