Developed by Platinum Games, Madworld is a game of sheer destruction. Focusing primarily on aesthetics here, the game offers Graphic Novel style visuals with a Film Noir like colour scheme. The visuals themes are stark black and white, splashed with action words and tremendous amounts of bright red blood. The contrast between the blood and the environment only aids to make the fights look even more brutal, leaving rivers of blood running over all your surroundings.

I believe this to be more at the extreme end of the style and possible more Cartoonish that I would like to include in my designs, though it is important for me to look at both ends of the spectrum to be able to gauge where I what mine to sit. The style is still undoubtedly eye catching, and someone unique I am confined to say. As I have said before, without pushing the boundaries it is hard to develop original content these days with the sheer amount of games that have been produced over the years.

Despite my dislike for the amount of gore I still think that looking at mad world has offered me benefits, it is interesting to see how they have created fully lit environments using only black and white, something I imagine would be very difficult. Also, I like how they have managed to create texture and material effects using the same methods.
