Dear Travellers,
In our blog today we’re taking you for a rummage in the studio attic. In its many draws, folders and cabinets are sketches showing Book of Travels in many stages of its life. The first sketches were made in 2016, at the very beginning of development and were created by the art team to explore the kinds of places and people that might exist in this new world.
Pre-production sketches
Below are sketches from the pre-production phase - exploratory designs from a time before the style had solidified.
Production sketches
These are sketches from the ongoing production. Traditional pen-and-paper designs play a major part in the design of the in-game graphics - the current amount of sketches could easily drive a fresh recruit mad!
Sketches to come back to
These strange looking sketches haven't found their way into the game yet but may be part of the future of Book of Travels.
We hope you enjoyed this little peek into the attic! We'll be back in a couple of weeks with a very exciting update... Till then stay safe and take care.
Best Wishes,
Helen and the team xx
