Wee thread about our art team’s inspiration for how we changed the style for Hearth compared to Pale! ❤️
How did we design an art style for a sequel game set in the same universe as The Pale Beyond, but that has a totally different setting and tone?

Because Pale was set in on a 1910’s Antarctic expedition, our influences were Victorian etchings, and paintings of polar scenes (fun fact: this Edwin Landseer painting is reported to be haunted)

The Hearth and Harbour is set in a city however, and as a new restaurant-owner, you’re not struggling against the forces of nature, but capitalism instead. So we started our research with advertisements !
Leyendecker’s warmth in character depiction was massively influential

We loved Edward Hopper’s paintings for the vibe and tone - the contrast between cold streets and warm interiors, the strange isolating voyeuristic feeling characteristic of viewing city life through windows…

To represent a place that’s going through change, we also looked at older eras - art nouveau in particular for UI and architecture. The ornateness of it contrasts so well with industrial brutalism.

And finally, we’re irish, so we couldn’t help ourselves but put some ancient history in there as well. The local pub is built around standing stones, and market cobblestones depict old mythology that can’t quite be stamped out…

Kit arrives in town, leaving his past behind him to start a new life in #TheHearthandHarbour. War is on the horizon in Lewthport - but everyone always needs a hot meal.
