Dev Blog #2 - The Art of Worldless

Worldless

Worldless is a stylised 2D platformer with a unique, active, turn-based combat system, and a mind-bending interpretative narrative. Players embark on a journey of self-growth and understanding, pushing the limits of their nature in a newly born and abstract universe.

Hi there, it’s Joel, Game Director of Worldless, to talk to you about the Art of Worldless. The visual identity of Worldless emerged as a necessity to find a practical approach of producing a satisfactory amount of action moves, enemies and assets rapidly and efficiently. With the abstract nature of the game, doing a minimalistic approach matched better with the mysterious setting and resulted with a unique visual identity.

[previewyoutube=q9dLMFHj7GI;full][/previewyoutube] For the environments we knew we wanted to represent each area by different colours and shapes, something that was a bit abstract but felt familiar and pleasantly atmospheric.

So a proper artist was brought to the team to help in this front. Narciso, our Lead Artist, did amazing work helping to give form to an abstract existence.
