Dev Blog #2 - The Art of Worldless

Hi there, it’s Joel, Game Director of Worldless, to talk to you about the Art of Worldless.

The visual identity of Worldless emerged as a necessity to find a practical approach of producing a satisfactory amount of action moves, enemies and assets rapidly and efficiently.

With the abstract nature of the game, doing a minimalistic approach matched better with the mysterious setting and resulted with a unique visual identity.


With this art style, I was able to focus myself entirely on character and enemy design, animations, effects and combat design.

For the environments we knew we wanted to represent each area by different colours and shapes, something that was a bit abstract but felt familiar and pleasantly atmospheric.




This was more difficult to achieve. So a proper artist was brought to the team to help in this front. Narciso, our Lead Artist, did amazing work helping to give form to an abstract existence.



Keep a look out for our next development blog!

Dev Blog #1 - The Story of Worldless

Hi there, I’m Joel the Game Director on Worldless and I’m here to tell you a little bit more about how the game came to be.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Worldless was born from the desire to explore combat systems and artistic expression in unique ways.

This was a project that existed only in our imagination for years, with small tests of photoshop animations, artistic visual tests and a combat that was being constructed with the idea to merge turns with the high rushes of action games.

After working in the video game industry for some years, and with the help of co-workers, a prototype was built. Here we started to properly test the visual style, and the mechanic heavy design ideas for the fights.

With this effort, we luckily were able to secure the production and here we are now!

Without giving too much away, Worldless is set in a newborn existence based on polarities trapped in eternal conflict by the attraction and rejection of their natures.

These interactions can result in an exchange of polarities, but this process is very unstable, and who knows what new results can come from it…

And so, what is the purpose of this existence? You’ll have to play the game to find out.
