How are you? I hope you have all been doing well!

Today I want to share the game director, Dimas Novan’s favorite character in A Space for the Unbound, and a glimpse of the process in the character design.

It might be obvious to you that Dimas’ favorite character is Raya. At first, I assumed it was because Raya is a female protagonist with supernatural power. But, when I asked him why, he quickly answered, “The game itself exists because of Raya. The world, the story, and every detail are built around her.”

When A Space for the Unbound started seven years ago, Raya was initially designed to be more valiant and menacing, compared to the final design we see today. Then Dimas decided to design Raya as someone mysterious because in the game story, she’s trying to hide her supernatural power.

How about you, Space Divers?
Which character that tickles your curiosity? You can see more characters of A Space for the Unbound from our newest trailer.

We have a great story to tell as we are counting down to the release of A Space for The Unbound later this year. A Space for the Unbound: Broken Memories is a webcomic series, that tells the story of Niken, the teacher of our protagonist. You will also encounter her in the game with many other characters mentioned in the webcomic!

A Space for The Unbound: Broken Memories Synopsis
Niken is an ordinary math teacher who lives in unordinary circumstances. She keeps getting inexplicable visions during her walking and sleeping. She seems to have a different perception of the world from the people around her, preventing her from truly connecting with others. In her deep loneliness, she met another person who shared her pain.

Below are the preview cuts from the first chapter of A Space for the Unbound: Broken Memories.
You can read the entire chapter here: Chapter 1[www.webtoons.com]

A Space for the Unbound: Broken Memories is a 12-chapter webcomic series. A new chapter will be released every week for a few months. You can read them in English (ENG) and Bahasa (IDN).

Let's read the webcomic and hype things up with the bittersweet story of Miss Niken before we get into the full game!

The story took place in Loka City, a rural Indonesian city set in the 90s of A Space for the Unbound universe. Please familiarize yourself with the town before you fully explore it in the game. The story involves cultural elements unique to Indonesia, which might intrigue you as the player. Also, many distinctive identities of the world will make you nostalgic, even though you have never been there before.

Just a few months left before we release A Space for the Unbound! We are already entering the final development stage, doing some polishing so you can enjoy the game flawlessly. Thank you for all of your support all these years!

Hello, everyone!

I’m Dimas, the art director of A Space for the Unbound.

My team and I recently did an interview for Indie Obscura, we talked about behind the scenes of A Space for the Unbound there. You can check out the video here and give it a like!

https://youtu.be/ZvnTWJ5lrH8


After the interview, I feel like I want to share the story behind A Space for the Unbound here, too. So here it goes!

A Space of the Unbound started off as an internal game jam in 2015. Back then, there’s no really a clear vision on what the gameplay would be, and then I just made a very experimental one and a concept trailer. After it garnered some attention we decided to continue this project. You can see the initial build of A Space for the Unbound - The Bridge we made back in 2015 here:

https://mojiken.itch.io/a-space

Back to the topic. As for the overall experience, initially, I just want to tell a story about a girl who has a deep secret while she is seemingly living her happy daily life. The inspiration comes from a lot of movies, manga, and anime. Some of them are based on a slice of life genre and there’s also magical realism genre, too. I was inspired by a lot of movies such as Inception (Christopher Nolan) and The Truman Show (Peter Weir), and then manga by Oshimi Shuuzo-sensei also a novel The Strange Library by Haruki Murakami-sensei. And I want to combine all those inspirations with Indonesian culture and setting.


Why 90s Indonesia rural setting?
Actually, the 90s wasn’t really the initial plan. As someone who grew up watching anime and born in the 90s, I just really want to preserve all the good times I had back in the day.

When I was in high school, I was blown away by Makoto Shinkai-sensei’s work and I discovered that he uses a lot of real-life locations, and at that time I realized that a lot of anime also does that too. Back in the day I also discovered an activity named [/i]anime pilgrimage[/i]. A group of people doing a tour to real-life locations and compare the location with the animation scenes counterpart, and it inspires me a lot. I mean, if we can visualize and transform our environment, our hometown in a new, different way, in this case, pixel art, maybe we can appreciate the place we live in more, and we can add some new value to it.

It’s a really fun process! After narrowing down all the ideas, we came up with the keyword “90s” because as I mentioned before, we want to give a tribute to the time when we grew up.

I think that’s all for now! I will come back again with more stories on A Space for the Unbound next time! Thank you to everyone who has played the prologue and wishlist the game! We will do our best to work on the game and enjoy the process.
