This is a project I didn't expect to work on at all, but then I started playing Submachine 8, and got inspired to convey my appreciation for such a fantastic game series in a piece of artwork. A while ago my dad and I got hooked on a series of point-and-click puzzle games called Submachine. The first one had challenging enough puzzles and was fun, but the second, the Lighthouse had a creepy and intriguing feel to it. You don't run into anyone, but you find notes left behind by those who have already traveled through this. It becomes more intriguing when the notes start to discuss travel between dimensions, questions the Submachine universe itself, and hidden remnants of civilizations that lived beyond the dimensional barriers. I highly recommend checking it out, because it's a good challenge, and its so thought provoking: www.mateuszskutnik.com/submach…

There are a lot of different elements from different games in the series in this piece, with the red arch from The Lighthouse, the keys from just about any game, the teleportation machine from the Lab onwards, while the more ancient looking pieces come from the later games, like the Root and the Plan. I really liked the bioluminescent trees when I first saw them in the Root, so I had to include that and based the rest around the central gateway, a portal to an entirely different dimension.
