The art backgrounds for a visual novel
game are very important to the mood and setting. Often, the scope of
a story in a visual novel is limited by the backgrounds, because the
places the characters travel to need to be represented visually and
background art is expensive. A sizable portion of the Solar Echoes
visual novel occurs inside a starship, as the characters journey
across the universe to different alien territories. I have worked
closely with my background artist on getting the starship interior
designs just like I've envisioned them, and she has done an
incredibly impressive job at bringing my vision to life. There aren't
many different rooms in the starship, so the crew will often be
interacting with each other in the starship bridge, the crew
quarters, and the cargo bay. Alexis Rill is the artist behind most of
the backgrounds in the visual novel, and she brings a very realistic
edge to her art style. I think it blends perfectly with the
anime+realism blend I have in the characters and starships, and I'm
excited to share it with you. Today, I'll share a tiny preview of the
crew quarters, where the protagonist will be having a number of
private conversations.
