Ideas time

Working on party members! Each of the them is going to be a band member and I've been investigating a bunch of musical genres to find the range I wanna go with. This whole game is supposed to just be a big love letter to the music I love in general and figuring out the genres I wanna play around with has been a challenge.

A few ideas

I'm also still not sure if we're going to have four of five members? Or if the plot is going to justify not having a full band? But I do love some of the vibes that these sketches evoke.

I'm also thinking of a replaying through the two games I'm taking a lot of heavy inspiration from for my gameplay mechanics just so that they're a little fresher in my head than they are right now. And to understand the tone of the storytelling a bit more. While I love those games- I've never played them critically as a designer, only as a player so I'm interested to see how my perspective might shift on them too!
