Cube World: Game research

Apart from various research made, both putting in the mood board and further research from watching videos. I searched for which game would be a nice style I could use as a study to get the concept I wanted.

Tap Tap Fish - Abyssrium is a pleasant idle relaxing game that will relieve your stress. I used to play this during the start of my middle school years and was addicted to it for a while.

It is a game that makes the player create their own aquarium and by tabbing the screen, which is an Incremental games/clicker game, to gain currency used to buy fish to fill in the player’s tank.

Colour palette

The game also has a lighting system/time cycle that changes depending on the month and the current event. This is a fascinating feature that makes me want to experiment with the various colour tones in the illustration I'm working on. However, I will have to settle with only one colour tone in the end, but it is still a good source of inspiration.

Characters and Environment


Low poly, cute, minimal style shading and model is exactly what I aimed for. As mentioned before during mood board brainstorming, I wanted this project to look cute with a pastel palette to suit the concept of an innocent child’s dream.

The characters in Abyssrium are very cute and invite the players to collect all of them along with colourful corals. I will surely use these as secondary references along with real photo references.
