Hi all- As you're all aware, the Steam Awards are on the horizon, and the button to nominate your favorite game into a category is now available on the store page. That being said, I wanted to get in on the fun and try getting Hypnagogia: Boundless Dreams some nominations! If you've played the game, you've probably noticed the many stylized environments, unique character designs, and varied atmospheres. Did these visuals leave an impact on you?
When development of Boundless Dreams began shortly after the first Hypnagogia, along with detailing my weird dreams in an interactive sense, I wanted also to detail them in a weird, but memorable, visual style. Needless to say, I have a strong affinity for consoles that were popular at the turn of the century, so I chose to go with graphics and models inspired by their games. My intention was not only to express my own personal love for those consoles in art form, but to also remind you of the memories you had growing up playing them. Combining all these elements, I was able to create the world of Hypnagogia, and the many different creatures that live there.
I hope you've enjoyed the game so far, and I hope you'll vote Hypnagogia: Boundless Dreams for "Most Outstanding Visual Style" for the 2021 Steam Awards! Until next time, sodaraptor
