How Wabi-Sabi helped shaped Lost & Found

I recently gave a talk about Lost & Found at MAD Summit in Batangas, Philippines. One of the gists of the talk was Wabi-Sabi, or the worldview that there’s beauty in imperfections. I summarized that into the game’s Volume 2 short concept art book titled The Art of Wabi-Sabi. There, I talk about my design process and how imperfections help guide me into creating artworks for my game, Lost & Found.

In exchange for the art book, if you’ve got the time, please vote for Lost & Found to be a part of BlueOceanGames’ RT#3. Put it in your top 3 if you find the game interesting.

(For context, the image below is an early pass of the game’s capsule art, and I’m basically showing it because I believe there’s also beauty in showing the process of making art. I hope you enjoy the small art book I’ve prepared :)
