Aside from the questions regarding the intuitive gameplay, we have asked ourselves what roles different spaces might play and how the player feels in different environments. So, what were my thoughts and what were they based on when deciding on the different subspaces and even using them as a concept? | Aside from the questions regarding the intuitive gameplay, we have asked ourselves what roles different spaces might play and how the player feels in different environments.

A feeling of space | ''A feeling of space '' | ||
I was really fascinated and inspired by a book, written by computer game researcher and philosopher Espen Aarseth and Stephan Grünzel [3]. It touches onto the representation of spaces and distinguishes certain concepts, events related to spatial perception of a virtual self. For instance the topic of curves space (and Portal 2) is also referenced and they, too, define such extraordinary physical events as boundaries of human perception. What’s more, interesting concepts such as horizontal, linear and hodological are thematized, all defining some way of direction and degrees of freedom that come with their integration. In fact, a main driving factor of designing the concepts for beyond space 18’s subspaces is based on some of those defined characteristics in the book. | I was really fascinated and inspired by a book, written by computer game researcher and philosopher Espen Aarseth and Stephan Grünzel [3].
