Hello again! Hope everyone is doing well. On this devlog, we will be sharing early concept sketches that you’ll see in the game and the one you will not see as well :p Kota Tua These are the early concept sketches for the city scene on When The Past Was Around. To bring out a melancholic atmosphere, we took some architectural references from Surabaya “Kota Tua” district. “Kota Tua” lliterally means old city. Also, we use lots of Indonesian-Dutch Colonial ornamental and architectural influences. Plants If you’ve been with us since A Raven Monologue and She and the Light Bearer, you’ll know that I love plants so much. I just can’t help but put as many plants as possible in every environment. Even the city got its own garden! You'll find lots of plants and foliage later almost everywhere in the game, so be prepared for that XD Scrap Last but not least, here’s the sketch of unused puzzles a…

And we know people out there, including you, are also having a difficult time due to this pandemic. We hope you all are doing great wherever you are! Thank you for all of your support until no…
