Oliver Frost is researching existing games like Ori and the Blind Forest, Sonic Mania, and Portal to inform the development of their own game concept. Ori and the Blind Forest provided good inspiration for its art style and graphics. Sonic Mania's character design and stage details were also notable. Portal's puzzle elements showed how challenges could increase in difficulty as the player progresses. Oliver plans to incorporate the art styles of Ori and Sonic, as well as including puzzles like in Portal, in their own game.
