Aesthetics/Style/Mood:

    We are making a relaxing, easy-going adventure in a vibrant world constructed from arts & crafts materials! Our aesthetics, style, and mood are inspired by works such as Yoshi’s Crafted World, the Paper Mario series (Sticker Star, Color Splash, Origami King), and the Kirby series (Kirby 64, Kirby’s Epic Yarn). Below is our initial proof of concept using a level from Yoshi’s Crafted World as a backdrop; in addition, we have included screenshots of our early prototype (using only assets that we as a team have created).
