AENiGMA - Path to the capitol
Concept art for a Japan inspired level in my personal(what if) over the top hack n slash video game.
While the massive city of Jonada and town of Ridgewood are in the future real world and act as explorable hubs, you go into these worlds much like you would in Mario/Gex/Persona/Psychonaughts, These levels are not meant to be a specific period in time or place but more the collective leftover memories, dreams, and nostalgia of the world, so weather, time of day, ect may change drastically as you proceed through them. The idea is to carefully weave between nostalgia and surprise.
This is the forest path a little after the start of the level
