Creating a Mystical Mood Through Cinematic Design

Setting the perfect tone for Clockwork Palace was no small feat, especially when blending mystical fantasy with steampunk elements. The cinematic screen plays a crucial role in immersing players, and we couldn’t be more excited to share how the mood came together.


Artist’s Insight Here’s how Zoha approached this creative challenge:

"The mood we wanted was a mystical fantasy mystery. To achieve this, I focused on using cold hues like blues and purples for the sky, paired with a full moon to add an otherworldly feel. The vast desert is mostly shrouded in darkness, with ruins scattered around to evoke a sense of ancient mystery. I added golden orbs, like floating fireflies, to guide the eye and create movement. When it came to the palace, turquoise with white highlights brought it to life, adding a touch of wonder amidst the darkness."


Why the Mood Matters In Clockwork Palace, the cinematic screen isn’t just visually appealing—it’s a storyteller. The carefully chosen colors, lighting, and elements like golden orbs work together to transport players to a world of intrigue and discovery.
