I wrote an article about how we developed an art style for The Matter of Being. Been a while since I have done non-academic writing, hope it's a good read. :)

Here are a few of the locations you'll be able to visit in The Matter of Being. I really enjoy the style we came up with.

What do you think? :)

Hey, if you love of Cultist Simulator or Book of Hours, check out The Matter of Being.
You play as a sinister entity trying to gain access to the mortal realm by striking faustian bargains.

Please share and wishlist it, so we can get funding. I will make lots of awesome art for it, promise. :)
