Hello!! What would you say are the inspirations on Clockworks' designs as a megastructure? I'm doing some studies in that very field so I would be very glad to hear your opinions on it!
Would you consider bare-bones Clockworks (like the tunnels and compounds) as being influenced by sci-fi megastructures, as hostile/brutal in nature? How presence of more alien and high-tech environments like inside of the Core with consideration of its architectural and plot relevance would effect this impression?
And then, how would Clockworks' themes and vibe be shifted or deepened by introducing *far more whimsical* and standout locations like Starlight Cradle, Owlite Academy, Wildwoods, or Scarlet Fortress with all of their fantasy theming while existing *inside* the megastructure?
What would you label to be the themes of Clockworks and Cradle? TY!
