The House of Hikmah - Ibn Hayyan's Lab

This level is inspired by Jabir Ibn Hayyan, a chemist and scholar from the 8th Century. The level is deconstructed into separate islands, a bit like organic chemistry diagrams, and the altered elements and substance in the gameplay area and background evoke the change and modifications of matter that alchemy was about. It was really fulfilling trying to go from a grounded historical context, and pushing it towards a surrealist fantasy direction that uses aesthetic principles of islamic art and architecture as a base.
