#BLASPHEMOUS GAME ART HOW TO#

From the point of view of gameplay, in addition to the classic Castlevania, we have been influenced by hack&slash games like Devil May Cry and Dante's Inferno, and old games like Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Knights of the Round, Straider which we love.ĥ.

Was there any other games, films or books that helped shape Blasphemous? There's a strong sense that the gameplay and world design were inspired by classic Metroidvania games and From Software's Bloodborne. It has been a work of several years of research and development to really find the unique and original art that we were looking for for the game and we believe that the effort has been worthwhile.Ĥ. We tried to emulate the Spanish religious art of centuries ago that could be dark and macabre but at the same time, being related to religion added a beautiful side. Blasphemous has an art style that's both disturbing yet extremely beautiful. Looking for the only setting we wanted for the game we liked the idea of mixing those concepts that have been represented in art and apply them to a dark fantasy video game.ģ. It was mainly a creative and artistic decision. Why was it important to incorporate themes of religion, redemption and punishment into the game?

I think it was the necessity to create a unique setting for a video game genre that was familiar to players, that when they looked at any screenshot they would know immediately how to play and that the artistic section could do the rest.Ģ. What inspired the creation of Blasphemous? We reached out and spoke with the creative and Art director at the Game Kitchen in regards to their latest title Blasphemous! Read their thoughts on the development and a few behind the scene things of this religious inspired Metroidvania.ġ.
