For this game, the developers approached me to handle the visual aspects. Although I had no prior experience with pixel art, I found it to be an intriguing challenge and agreed to take it on. As a member of a small team, I was also given the opportunity to contribute to the design process by proposing ideas for the game’s setting and story. To maximize the potential of the pixel art style, I made a decision to preserve the rectangular form as much as possible, and add more details to the textures. However, I introduced elliptical shapes exclusively for the main character to create contrast, giving it a friendly appearance and setting it apart from the surrounding environment.
