Excerpt from our official blog: Oneblueeyestudios.com
A lot of the past week was focused on research, testing and creative iteration. In order to help keep our IP cohesive from one product to another, we developed three core pillars: Questionable Madness, Intricate Mystery and Pretty Macabre. We created a poster for each one of these so we could display them around the room as reminders.
With these pillars firmly planted within the group, we were able to start figuring out what story elements we could pull from the original source material, what mechanics we could implement, and explore the art style with clarity. This greatly improved our iteration process as everyone could critique from a common starting point. Sometimes our ideas sounded great, but upon reflection seemed to break one of the pillars. This would open up a variety of questions and potential solutions, many of which were better than the original concept. Hopefully over time, our iteration process will be even faster as everyone will be asking themselves whether the idea fits with in the pillars before even starting the work.
