Led Astray, was our entry for ludum dare 47. The players seek to uncover the mystery of a woman with amnesia. By wandering around her place, they find clues about her past that reveal what happened to her.
In Led Astray, I had the opportunity to design and animate the main character. Our intention was to make her evoke a sense of hollowness, ethereality, and displacement, which influenced our decisions regarding her appearance, animation, and coloring. The character was animated using the cel technique while a combination of cel and 2D animation techniques were used for the creatures.
Inspired by autumn and Halloween, we opted for a vibrant earthy palette. We aimed to create a contrast between the overall experience and the ending, so we avoided using moody colors that would reinforce a darker atmosphere.
