Description from the Readme:
Xmas is here! I struggled quite a bit with what I wanted to do for this. I considered a tiny, quaint christmas town, but the 1024x3 limitation proved strict enough to stop me from doing it how I wanted. Then, I considered an open "snowglobe" world, but doing the exterior would have been more work than doing the actual level, and I wasn't sure if I would make it in time.
Then, one day, I was listening to a playlist I have of childhood songs. Amongst them was Igneous, by Tangerine Dream. Then, suddenly, the inspiration came: coal! Of course, there has to be a "Christmas" dimension you can slipgate into! But the song inspired me more with coal, so a narrative sprung. This narrative, however, turned dark fast. I didn't want it to be dark (it is christmas, after all), so I managed to twist it into a humorous yarn.
On a more technical side, the map is really minimalistic. It's supposed to represent an unpleasant place, after all. But still, I wanted it to look "modular" in a way. Santa's Coal Boxes are assembled by a special team of elves from the subject's file, so they aren't overtly complex in their design. This lore permeates the design decisions of the level: few textures, blocky geo, and simple spaces.
Given the 1024x3 limitation, I couldn't splurge on size. I was planning on adding lots of more details, like coal particles and a proper "limbo" style skybox extension that hinted at other "coal boxes". Regrettably, work really spanked me hard, and those ideas had to be cut.
