Notes from Wednesday 1/30

What makes this world interesting:
-Classes
-Clash of 80’s and baroque, like watching two train wrecks then crash into each other
-Juxtaposition of tech and old world
-Fancy, peaceful appearance to world with mad drama underneath
-Smashing pretty things
-Interrupting convention/denial of ettiquette

What areas need to be most iconic?
-Where Dart first meets the mechateers
-Where Dart and the mechateers duel before being interrupted by Cardinal’s men

Visual ideas that may influence the visual theme:
-Pristine beauty vs. breaking down
-Countryside vs. industrial
-Bull in a china shop/Bull using the china shop as an outfit
-Stripping away the facade to find what’s beneath the mask
-Aesthetics interrupting function
-From dust to extravagance
-Hedgehog/porcupine—self-protective
-Possibly powers that be (glam) vs. punk (anti-establishment)

Gems somehow generate/embellish facade of beauty to smash


Possible Frontiers:
-Isolationist vs. global
-Revolution just around the corner
-Gems and the power they add
-Power of control/destruction vs. the true power of teamwork <—We’ll probably lean on this one for game 1
-Obsession with the future
-Glam vs. Punk
