    Creating Immersive 2D World Visuals for Platform Games – Post-Mortem: Skytails Eveliina Aalto Master’s Thesis Master’s Programme in New Media Game Design and Production Aalto University 2020 1 “Although an image is clearly visible to the eye, it takes the mind to develop it into a rich, tangible brilliance, into an outstanding painting.” — Jeanne Dobie, Making color sing 1 Author Eveliina Aalto Title of thesis Creating immersive 2D world visuals for platform games – Skytails Post-Mortem Department School of Arts, Design and Architecture Degree programme New Media: Game Design & Production Supervisor Miikka Junnila Advisor Heikka Valja Year 2020 Number of pages 64 Language English Abstract Game visuals are a crucial part of the game aesthetics – art evokes emotions, gives information, and creates immersion. Creating visual assets for a game is a complex subject that can be approached in multiple ways. However, the visual choices made in games have many common qualities that can be observed and analyzed. This thesis aims to identify the benefits of applying art theory principles in two-dimensional platform games’ visuals and its impacts on the player’s aesthetic experience. The first chapter of the study introduces a brief history of platform games, screen spaces, and the method of parallax scrolling. Platform games, commonly known as platformers, refer to action games where the player advances by climbing and jumping between platforms. In 1981, the first platform arcade game, Donkey Kong, was introduced. Since then, the genre has expanded to various sub-genres and more complex graphics with the advances in the hardware. The second chapter demonstrates the core principles of art theory regarding color, composition, and shape language.
