It'll be interesting to write/reflect on this system after I finish level art. Partly we wanted to be able to do automated "palette swaps". This ended up not being super common, but the system still felt pretty efficient and handy - good for tuning stylized visuals with naturalistic lighting

Vertex colors are crucial to Angeline Era's unique, low-poly art style!

Much of the game's cube-based artwork is actually black and white. We then use a color palette system to create most of the game's vivid forests and towns!🌲

Some thoughts about the influences and design
underpinning the game!
sanctumsys.itch.io sanctumsys @sanctumsys.itch.io · 20d
melos actually discussed exactly this a while ago, saved this from twitter in the pre-bluesky days because it was foundational to my understanding of percentage counts as a potential harm to a game's staying power. two images because the alt text wouldn't fit on one
The missability philosophy comes from wanting to steer the adventure experience away from fulfilling linear questlines, which necessarily require more guidance and hints. While Angeline Era does feature a ultimately linear story, it's not the main focus for much of the game so we only need a light touch with guidance. I'm not sure what inspired the initial desire to have the game track minimal main-quest-related state, but it could have been a response to the very linear Sephonie, but, also, we tend to design games where you see everything, so there's always been an itch to make a game where most stuff is optional. And this game was too late to be a core influence, but I have enjoyed Romancing Saga SNES's approach to missing stuff and every player having a wildly different experience, yet not being as loose as a roguelike, which of course relates to the wide history of TTRPGs/CRPGs and nonlinearity. The imagery in the thinking behind the mixed up/loose historical structure of Kenzaburo Oe's "The Game of Contemporaneity" also comes to mind - he was inspired by a temporally nonlinear mural by Diego Rivera. The Oe is a much earlier influence so it's possible that guided my thinking. I have always loved the idea of creating a world that feels more like a 'book of myths' where we aren't seeing all that's there, but are forced to accept an incomplete depiction of the world (e.g. the collected Tono Monogatari, or something like Miyazawa's Ihatovo, Naohisa Inoue's Iblard, or even Hiroshi Masamura's Atagoul... or Sakura Momoko's Coji-coji), so to be able to lean into that approach with making the levels has been fun. I want Angeline Era's world to imply there's more we aren't showing, but also signal that to an extent it's up to the imagination to figure out what that is. I really like linear stories in that they can give us strong characters and arcs to act as a lens towards the more loose, nonlinear aspects. But not when the linear stories overly dictate the game's design and flow. E.g., I'm not sure I like games as much when they're linear a lot of the time, and the nonlinearness that exists is a kind of choice that feels more like uncovering some 'truth' or conspiracy-esque underbelly of the game - focused around getting characters to say alternate things, etc, replaying sections 10 times just to find one alternate dialogue. I feel that people today are primed to consume work with a compulsive-esque fixation on the 'truth', but I'd like to make something that tries to downplay that urgency. Because the whole idea of singular truth is really out of sync with how the world is full of many contradictions (but we still have to find a way forward, anyways!)

A taste of what you have to look forward to playing Angeline Era!!

I love a lot of things Angeline Era does, but IMO its smartest decision is understanding that Mystery and Full Knowledge Of A Game's Scope are enemies that cannot coexist and its refusal to even _imply_ what completionism looks enhances its sense of atmosphere a thousandfold

There's a powerful feeling when coming across a melancholy town in Angeline Era. The sunlight and song washes over you...

I'm excited to share it with you very soon! Please wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...

YES, in ANGELINE ERA, you can jump on shopkeeper's HEAD.

It's said this is the essence of good game design.

I think of Angeline Era's character art as "gestural" vertex colors: big blocks of gradients and hard edges that loosely gesture at finer details. They are often seen very small on the screen, so it helps them not appear over-detailed. But I also think it looks beautiful up close!
3 NPCs, a snazzy dressed woman, a grumpy old sailor, and a dapper bearded man. They are rendered in a chunky low poly style with a mix of flat vertex colors and simple textures

Decided to make a little seal for each overworld zone in my game Angeline Era! I hope you feel intrigued to explore...
7 circular seals with simple geometric designs depicting things like an ocean liner in front of a city, a mysterious forest, or a mountaintop mansion.

Wow there are a lot of levels in our game! We've never been into making things "a lot" for its own sake, but it seemed important for this game to convey certain feelings of travel and mystery. Maybe you will spend a lot of time in the poison mansion and completely miss the fairy training grounds...
