When The Past Was Around - Devlog: Early Concept Sketches
Hello again!
Hope everyone is doing well.
On this devlog, we will be sharing early concept sketches that you’ll see in the game and the one you will not see as well :p
Kota Tua
These are the early concept sketches for the city scene on When The Past Was Around. To bring out a melancholic atmosphere, we took some architectural references from Surabaya “Kota Tua” district. “Kota Tua” lliterally means old city. Also, we use lots of Indonesian-Dutch Colonial ornamental and architectural influences.
Plants
If you’ve been with us since A Raven Monologue and She and the Light Bearer, you’ll know that I love plants so much. I just can’t help but put as many plants as possible in every environment. Even the city got its own garden!
Scrap
Last but not least, here’s the sketch of unused puzzles and environments. This is an exclusive content because you won’t find this in the game.
That’s all!
Please let me know if there’s anything you want me to share on the next devlog. I’d be happy to share them with all of you :) And if you want to see more sketches, please follow me on Twitter here: twitter.com/crystalnyam
And don't forget to wishlist the game!
With love,
Rena and Owl Team
We want to share a bit on the progress of When the Past was Around. So far, we have mostly done with the level design for all the chapters of the game. Now we are on the polishing state. We’re trying to finish the art for all characters, adding some sequences, and working on other cosmetic stuff.
See the video below for a full preview of the cityscape art!

Work became a little harder for us since the team is now working from home because of the COVID-19 issue and internet speed here sucks. But, no matter how much difficulty we’re having, we’re still doing well and we’re trying to stay healthy, both physically and mentally. And we know people out there, including you, are also having a difficult time due to this pandemic.
We hope you all are doing great wherever you are! Thank you for all of your support until now and I hope we could deliver Edda and Owl’s story with the best of our capability.

“It’s a gorgeous experience with presentation as stark as the subject matter, with eye-popping visuals that draw your attention to, rather than distract from, the rich characterization of every client you encounter. Divination drips with atmosphere from start to finish, standing as one of the more memorable and experimental indie titles I’ve played this year. “ - Emily Rose, RE:Bind
