Art & Music

The graphics are tile-based isometric 3D using textured sprites. They use a large panel of desaturated colors to give the architectures the stony look of their times. The music have been created using samples of musical instruments from those different populations, and are trying to recreate the tonal structures they used in ancient times, while keeping them video game-ish and narrative. Each civilization has its own theme and atmospheric background sound design.
