Day 7: Drama Concepts (Patreon)

Each clubroom in the game was first visualized through concept art, which was shown to modelers so that they could replicate the props and decorations that they saw in the artwork. For example, check out this concept art that was created for the Drama Club. If you compare it to what is currently in-game, you'll notice that it's it's not 100% identical, but you can clearly see how the concept art influenced the creation of the in-game environment.

You'll also see some concept art here for the masks that the player would be able to find in the Drama Club. The original plan was for all of the masks to be references to Western horror film antagonists, but in the end, it made more sense to make the masks references to Japanese culture and folklore, instead, since the game is set in Japan.
