Book Overview

Art of Nevermind is a 51-page art book published by Flying Mollusk, LLC in 2017. It focuses on the visual development of Nevermind, a biofeedback-driven game about exploring the subconscious minds of trauma survivors.

The book is organized around the game’s creation, from early student concepts to the commercial release. It presents rough sketches, abstract paintings, 3D art, and annotated design excerpts.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• Early concept sketches created by student teams beginning in 2011.
• Abstract paintings and mood pieces that shaped Nevermind’s atmosphere.
• 3D art and in-game screenshots, including work by Brian Watson and Jack Covell.
• Excerpts from the Game Design Document and Level Design Documents.
• Insight into the symbolism, narrative, and aesthetic choices behind each level.
• A look at the game’s evolution from a USC master’s thesis to a worldwide release.

Why This Book Matters

Nevermind began as a master’s thesis at the University of Southern California and became an independent game released on Steam in 2015. This book preserves the visual history of that process.

It offers a rare behind-the-scenes record of an indie game’s creation, including the design documents that guided each level. For players, students, and game developers, it shows how abstract art and game design can work together.

Flying Mollusk’s team included 2D and 3D artists, engineers, and designers. Their contributions are documented in this volume with clarity and detail.
