Mother 3 Tribute: Sunshine Forest

The Sunshine Forest was one of the first environments we decided to create for Mother 3: Tribute, our internally developed project. We chose it because there were several fundamental elements that made it up. These elements doubled as iconic to Mother 3, but also would inform how we would design the art-style. Simple things like rocks, grass, tress, stumps, and even a more elaborate cabin can have so many different ways to look. We had to decide where we stood on interpreting the original sprites of Mother 3 that felt adequate and respectful to that original 2D medium. Trees likely took the longest of the bunch, but when we got it right we knew it instantly. As a result, the Sunshine Forest was born.
