Through feedback from user testing and critique sections, I chose to mainly manipulate the volumetric fog level and lighting of the scene. As lighting and fog level change, the overall aesthetics of the scene changes drastically, thus creating a contrast that allows the user to clearly understand the difference between their two mental states. The volumetric fog effect applied can also select and reflect certain spectrums of colors, making it possible to change the color tone of the environment as the player ventures to different regions of the map in this experience.

In the realm of video game design, making the conscious decision to utilize visually striking points of interest as a means of guiding players through a virtual world can be particularly effective, especially in the absence of an explicit narrative. Since Braindance is an experience about navigating the space at the player’s own pace, there will be no explicit narrative or guidance that tells the player where to go next. My solution to the potential problem of players not knowing where to go next is the integration of three monumental artifacts, strategically positioned within the game's landscape, to act as both beacons and goals for players to explore.

These awe-inspiring structures not only serve as markers for navigation, but also pique the players' curiosity and instill a sense of wonder, motivating them to venture further into the unknown. By incorporating such distinct visual elements, I hope to create a more immersive and engaging experience for players, fostering a natural and intuitive sense of progression throughout the game world. This approach allows players to forge their own path and establish a personal connection with the game's environment, ensuring a memorable and satisfying gaming experience.
