Game Design Principles: Visual Style
Gre-I Corrupted Shadows
Game world- The game’s visual style is going to be a cell shade/anime like Peria Chronicles or KurtzPel. The world is similar to our modern day world, although slightly more technologically advanced because of the existence of mana in the world. The player will interact with 3 cities, each having a Jester Bar hosting at least 2 different bartenders that will be used as a source of information and general goods sellers. The town will also have a few different shops where the player will be able to acquire food, different outerwear and weapons. The towns will also have some weapon stores that deal in custom weapon manufacturing, although illegal the weapons are more powerful and have a variety of uses, they have one major flaw and that is they break easier.
