About The Idea
At first I was struggling to get ideas for this project I am working on. I eventually settled on playing some Zelda Breath Of The Wild to try get some ideas, then that mechanic that was used where you light up laterns with a blue flame around a mountain. this gave me the idea for the lantern mechanic. Funnily enough I was also watching old JackSepticEye videos playing Slenderman. This gave me the idea for the scenery and overall atmosphere of the game I wanted.
I chose this idea because I believe this concept will work well with the mechanics I plan to use. These mechanics are still unique enough that I can make a game that people can either relax to or get scared by.
Importance Of Art In Video Games
Art in video games is very important as it is the first thing players see in the game. It helps the game have its own unique look compared to the rest of the market and can make the game instantly recognizable even from a single screenshot.
Depending on what type of game is being made. It can affect the atmosphere created. For example, Bloodborne has dark, gothic visuals that reinforce its horror aspect, while Undertale shows retro charm and simplicity.
Certain art styles can also help with performance. For example, Minecraft uses simple voxels which allows it to run on many devices while still having its iconic look without sacrificing quality or performance.
