Hej hej everyone!

We're back with a small update, this time with a new in-game element to Figment: Creed Valley. Drum roll please...

It's a piano bridge!

Above is a piano bridge in two different states, which changes after you hit the Mind Converter! The 'switch' lets you adventure through two state of mind, open-minded and closed-minded. Let's get into the design process.

So the rules were the following:

[olist]

A bridge was needed that would open and close when a switch was hit. It is one of the many puzzle elements in the game who's purpose is to either allow or block access after hitting a switch (open-minded and closed-minded) when navigating through the level.

A musical environmental element to add character to the world. In the first opus, Figment, the world is living and the main character Dusty is part of it, not the other way around. We felt that the world would feel barren and lifeless without a well-structured landscape. [/olist]

Below is an in-game example of the bridge when open. What is important to note in the open-minded state is that it is the moment you let the creative juices flow. Here, you see Dusty stepping on a key. The Mind is open to new ideas and in this case, to new music. In the closed-minded state, speakers block your path and the piano plays it's own music. The Mind is set in its ways and plays the same tune over and over.

A musical action-adventure set in the recesses of the human mind... Welcome to the world of Figment. A strange and surreal world; a place filled with our deepest thoughts, urges and memories, populated by the many voices we hear in our heads.

This mind has been quiet and calm for many years. But something has changed. New thoughts have started to emerge - taking the shape of nightmarish creatures who spread fear wherever they go. The only hope is for the grumpy Dusty, the mind's former voice of courage, to get back to his old self and help the mind to face its fears.

Join Dusty and his ever-optimistic friend, Piper, on an adventure through the different sides of the mind, solving puzzles to set things straight, beating back the nightmares and seeking to restore the courage that's been lost.

Experience how traditionally hand-painted brushstrokes come to life in a world filled with surreal art, colorful illustrations and charming characters. Experience the unique artstyles of the joyful Freedom Isles, the radiant Clockwork Town and the ominous Pathways.

Music is an integral part of Figment. Explore a rhythmic environment full of trumpet trees, piano houses and singing enemies and discover how your actions influence this musical universe and its dynamic soundtrack.

Take an emotional journey to face universal human fears and help Dusty bring peace to the mind again. Overcome the Nightmares by using their dirty tricks to your advantage.

Figment offers various challenges for all kind of players. Swing your sword skillfully at the enemies, rack your brain to solve puzzles and combine the two in epic musical boss battles.
