Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
I found the image’s focus on the space between the hands, and about the fact that the hands are not yet touching. -- That means, there are limitless possibilities and potentials. And in literature, the most memorable kinds of emotional connections are those marked by fluctuations, difficulties, and regrets.
Then why could it not be about my connection with myself? It is everyone’s lifelong project: to negotiate and live with oneself. At least, that is what I think, and a theme comes back again and again in my game.
The images’ color also gives a light, glowy, and airy feeling, which is why I focused on the conceptual construction of the environment rather than a realistic approach. I am a very visually driven designer and artist, and visuals are my genuine expression. That’s why I picked a design that heavily leans toward visual over systems. I am less concerned with the image’s subject, but my feelings toward it are warmth, hope, and connection. These are the feelings I want to express with my game, both in RGB and in my other works.
The two characters that appeared in my game are my profile pictures for all platforms. They were initially designed during quarantine, a period of hardship for many people. They are simple but meaningful and dear living small creatures in my world. In other words, this game is a reconstruction of my own experience.
With a feeling of warmth, love, and care, intrapersonal relationship, I made RGB.
