Originally, for Great God Grove, I had an idea that the Spire [end] of the game was whole section, like Buzzhuzz or The Cove. Maybe smaller though. Something strange, threatening, broken down, nostalgic. Tense. Wanted it to have architecture beyond human understanding, the feel of the academy in the Utena movie.
You can sort of see traces of this in the Spire's design. I also had ideas of the whole end chapter being a lot more brutal and visceral. I have a good amount of sketches for this, somewhere. It's fun to think about these things...
