【18.10.2015】Research of 'Alice: Madness Returns'.



     I watched a game commentary with interest .The game is called 'Alice: madness returns'. I think the sense of this game is very interesting. In particular, I feel there are a lot of artistic elements. I think this is a good game.

 



    The art style is very abundant in this game. The main atmosphere is very strange, it combined gothic art, steampunk style, story elements, 2D and 3D modality etc. I think the art layout is brilliant.

    The real sence of Alice is the grey zone, as in The Corpse Bride. They used grey colour to distinguish the atmospheric content and real life. I think it is becuase the life being a superficial calm world. But the dreamland always makes people's heart race.

     About the memory part of Alice. It makes me associate to Coraline's plot. I think they are quite interesting ideas for reminding players ,It makes impressive play.

    The story line of Alice reminds me of ' The Resident Evil. I think the designer use similar ideas to make this a condition of this game.

    I found another interesting game called 'Isaac', The designer uses the similar ideas of letting the character go inside someone's body and then combats from within.

 

summarize：

    I like 'Alice: Madness Returns’.  Because I learned a lot in how to use many different elements. They gave many innovations through transformation and combination. I would like to look at other samples , learning how to add sublimation to my work in future. I would like to use this game to infer other things for learning  which I am interested in and make them belong to my work. It’s not just copy; it is the draw inferences about other cases from one instance. I think 'Alice: madness returns' even has more elements for me to find out and discover, so I would like to observe it in  my  free time. I think I could find more 'fresh' things in this game. After that I would like to design the elements and use them. I think 'Alice: madness returns’ is a really good sample for me to ponder over carefully.
    Of course, I also like to look at some of other games which  I am I interested in, and then I would like to try to gain more knowledge about 'Alice: madness returns’. I hope I will be a well-read person in the future; my brain will be filled with many great works. These pieces  always make me improve because I learn how to use many different elements.
