City Lighting and VHS Texture Tests

Early notes on making the city feel grimy and cinematic without burying readability.

Texture Has to Serve Play

The visual identity leans on wet asphalt, sodium work lights, brick, metal, and old CRT interference. The challenge is restraint: grit should frame the action, not hide it.

Red and blue light can do more than set mood. It can point the eye toward danger, mark route pressure, and create instant story context without dialogue.

Next Pass

The next art pass focuses on material contrast between concrete, glass, rainwater, and subway steel.
