With the agreed context of colour scheme:

Inspiration For Level 1
Current Greek location, using blues, whites, purples/pinks and greens
Render of Greece temples showing white and how colourful they were when they were first built
Ancient Greece temple render again, colourful people and temple
Current greek temple, showing creams, greeks and architecture we envision in the game
NPC Inspiration & Design:
From discussions it was agreed citizens look like ancient greek people of various skin tones, genders, clothing etc, mainly with ancient greek clothing and the rest will be left to NPC/ Enemy teams.
Gaurd Link
NPC Look and Feel: Link 1 | Link 2
What NPC Team Already Made: These where drafted by the NPC team, it gives an idea of their art style and plans.
Level Two:
Ideas:
- Home space, meeting with family and not a good relationship

- NPC’s hateful, depicts the resentment
- Tentacle slithering back to
- Under the city, pipes

Level 2 Aesthetic, Setting, Visuals
Colours are level 1's colour scheme but grungier, dirtier, and darker, with more greens and blues, with fewer creams, yellows and whites.
The story team chose to take inspiration from the game 'Stray' and its use of poverty, it depicts a cluttered but functional undercity, lower lit than level 1. We took ideas from Bioshock and Dwemer ruins as well in the steampunk pipe scene we would like to see. Link - Stray | Link - Steampunk
Level 3:
Ideas:
- Dungeon style
- Blueish underground see look
- Dark blues, greys, washed out in comparison to L1& L2
- Pipes, hidden areas
- Bioluminescent
- Industrialised
- Skeletons
- Industrialised
- Fighting the hydra to pull the final plug, the hydra is protecting the plug
- Tentacle balls and poop monsters
Level 3 Enemies

Level 3 NPCs:
Leave to NPCs and enemies teams mostly.
The old plumber will help the player to gain knowledge of the level 3 dungeon.
- A drunk/ intoxicated rich person with glowing mushrooms
- Tripping
- Potions on him
- Call back to disgusting, mean, cruel rich people in level
Guards protecting (are these also enemies? Are these monstrous guards?)
