So we’re close enough to the end of needing art assets for the canyon biome that I get to really flesh out my concept for the swamp biome. I want this level to be a complete departure from the visuals of the canyon (warm oranges, rocky terrain, dry dust). I intend for everything to look cool in temperature, jewel-toned, ethereal, and even drippier than usual. As in the canyon, I’m drawing each swamp tree to stand parallel to the viewer as they whip past. Some will be in shadow and others more detailed as they stick out into the light. I hope you love it (rough as it is), and I can’t wait to share more as the team puts it into motion!
Cheers,
Cassie

This is a post to celebrate the release of the Branching Paths documentary, which I just love so damn much.
Go buy it here.
So what’s this Branching Paths thing all about then? It’s a just-released documentary directed by Anne Ferrero that takes a look at the growing indie gaming scene in Japan. Unlike in the west, where indies have enjoyed quite a bit of success over the past 7-8 years, Japan is still in the early stages of an indie revolution, and Branching Paths does a fantastic job of illustrating what this nascent movement is looking like. Even better, it’s beautifully shot, and so also does a terrific job of acting as a visual tour of Japan from the perspective of games and the people who power that space.
But for me, it goes deeper. Seeing this now, after being back in Canada for close to a year and a half, it reminded me of a world I left behind. The film is packed to the gills with interviews of people I love and call friends, and so not only did it serve as a nostalgic reminder of all those people that I don’t get to hang out with anymore, but also of the spaces and events that I cared about when I was there (Picotachi,Tokyo Indies,BitSummit,Tokyo Game Show).
It even reminded me of PauseTalk, as the first time I heard about this project was from Anne, the director, who made a few visits to my events.
I love that the very early stages of an indie scene that I saw while I was in Tokyo has continued to grow, and is at a point now where I think there’s no turning back – we’re in for a lot of new and fun gaming experiences from Japan, directly from the minds of of a whole bunch of interesting creators.
That’s something to be super happy and excited about.
