It's such a disorienting, yet magical place. You can never know what comes next, but you have to go on to solve the puzzles and get out of this surreal realm.
You are in the right place if you want to know more about the Mirror Realm. Today, we’ll reveal some technical background on creating this scene.
The Mirror Realm was quite tricky to get right. It was hard to get the player to know where the character would end up when they went through doors. In the end, we opted for camera cuts to focus the player's attention. Turns out, running upside down is quite disorienting, so we decided to keep that to a minimum.
We wanted to have a clean cut between day and night like in the Disney movie, but we simply didn’t have time and it was more technically demanding than we originally thought. In the end, we decided against it.
The Mirror Realm was very complicated with the implemented system. It took a long time before we could playtest it properly, but eventually, it turned out great in the end.
