Samurai's Lament - Environment
A gothic-themed Japanese 2D side-scroller metroidvania game concept - a personal project inspired by the platformer games, 'Limbo, Hollow Knight, and Vector.'
The three pieces show iteration from first concept to final!
Yomi (Japanese for the Underworld or Limbo) - Initial Iteration. Didn't quite get the '2D Platformer' game environment style! I also wanted a dark and depressing atmosphere, the moon's shine killed the vibe.
Yomi (Japanese for the Underworld or Limbo) -Iteration B. The trees looked quite chaotic, and the far ends of the trees seemed like roadblocks.
Yomi (Japanese for the Underworld or Limbo) - Final Iteration. Cleaned up the trees, added grasses in the foreground, removed the roadblocks, and added traps - bringing more tension to the scene!
