There's a powerful feeling when coming across a melancholy town in Angeline Era. The sunlight and song washes over you...

I'm particularly proud of the old sailor who has a lot of personality packed into very minimal geometry!

I think of Angeline Era's character art as "gestural" vertex colors: big blocks of gradients and hard edges that loosely gesture at finer details. They are often seen very small on the screen, so it helps them not appear over-detailed. But I also think it looks beautiful up close!

Long ago I probably would've tried to make these sigils super clean vector files with logical angles, and it would have taken forever and looked bad. Instead I just sketched them out at low-res then used photoshop "refine edge" to upscale. It adds a subtle organic ink-bleed quality, which suits them

I wanted all the flora and fauna in Angeline Era to be specific and identifiable! This screen features:
-young alder trees
-a yew bush with red berries
-a marsh cinquefoil flower that launches you
-uhhh... little round bushes that are bouncy

The overworld search was inspired by Wild Arms 3. I played this game as a kid and always thought it was a beautiful mechanic reminiscent of real-life finding. We experimented in Even the Ocean, but I'm excited that it's is a MUCH more unique and important part of Angeline Era!

Each level is invisible at first and you have to find them by examining suspicious patterns! There's not a big list to clear. The world unfolds as you look closely, and it's not important to find everything :)
