Dev Diary #12 - Smokin' Progress

SAMUDRA | A Deep Sea Journey
A downloadable game for Windows

Hello Surface-Dwellers,

We recently posted one of our level early Concept Art The Sunken Kingdom:

Without spoiling too much, this level was design with the theme of claustrophobia, sprinkles of dread and splashes of wonder all around, its guaranteed to blow' you away (literally).  

Here's a slice of what it looks like in-game:

One of the main ingredient of this level are the presence of Stoned Faces, here are the early drafts, references & sketches: 

The idea is to feel as if you're intruding into a fogged up bar filled with grumpy old geezers having a good ol' smoke, they don't hate you for being there, but to be blunt' they would much prefer you to pass by quietly and not make a fuss, they would nonchalantly blow smokes around you, passed you or at you. These blowing stoned faces plays a big part in serving the level's puzzle design that requires a Hover mechanic, allowing you to ride the smoke currents in order to solve your way pass the area.
