Hi all,
I'm participating in a game jam (a challenge to develop a game in short time, couple of days), and my game is in board game style. It's not based on any existing game, I'm creating the rules etc, but players move a wooden piece in a grid similar to games like chess, checkers, so it feels familiar in some aspects.
The point it: I would like to make the interface, menus, scenario, etc, to feel as if it was a traditional ancient game played by feudal people. And I want the style to be japanese (simply because I like), so all menu text and piece markings etc, despite being in English, would resemble Kanji, and the background scenario to be also with japanese inspirations.
I'm actually looking for advice here because I don't want to end up making it offensive for japanese people due to my ignorance. Any comment is welcome, on any point, as minor as it may sound. From more general like "please don't make a japanese board game which doesn't exist, it's offensive", to more specific things like "if you put a tea cup in the background make it this shape and not that shape to avoid looking like a chinese one"... literally any comment is welcome.
The game will be a windows/linux/android app, what I have in mind now is you see in the background what would be the first person view of someone sitting in front of a table to play the game, so the background is the floor possibly with some rug or mat, the wooden game board over it, and some decoration around, like tea cups, possibly cushions where people would sit, etc.
The idea is to represent a situation like this:
But with a first person view camera, so the camera angle is more like this (no idea what is this game or where it is from):
Any help is appreciated =)
