Happy New Year to all! Wishes everyone good health.Ahem... this devlog is late but still come.We have received numerous feedback from players regarding KAKU’s art style, so our artist is eager to share some ideas with you.Here we have our artist and scenic editor!
The following is a summary:
1.Why did KAKU adopt realistic scenes and cartoon characters?
Artist YIP:In fact, we initially tried a variety of settings to find the right style of KAKU. Finally, we decided on this style that few have tried: the combination of realistic scenes and cartoon characters.
Artist YIP:In terms of realistic scenes, it allows the players to enjoy the game in a not-so-strange world.In terms of cartoon characters, it is cuter and more affectionate. We really look forward to the spark of combining these two.
2.Could you share some ideas about scene design?
Scenic editor Snake:To be honest, all the scenes in KAKU have been polished by us for a long time.For each area, we designed it with a certain texture, such as the gradient of the hierarchy, and its ABCD area.
Scenic editor Snake:The initial scene is relaxing in the freehand as the tone, let players play with a relaxed mind. But as the player explores, the environment will become more and more dreary, gloomy, and tense.
Scenic editor Snake:It is worth mentioning that each area has its corresponding different weather effects, which bring about various environmental changes. The richness of the area, with the realistic scene style and rich animation color,I believe it will become the favorite point of players.
3.Will there be female characters in the game?
Artist YIP:Our protagonist is an ignorant teenager who lives in the snowy mountains all year round. This image has also had several iterations.In fact, a female persona of KAKU did exist. But due to the development cycle and cost, we still decided to produce only the male version. What a pity!
Artist YIP:When designing KAKU, we also referred to many images from movies and TV series.We wanted our character to be a cartoon image with the characteristics of a primitive man, which makes him more affable.In fact, during the design process, there were many other versions of KAKU, but most of them are only in the design draft.
There is no end to the optimization of art.We want to create a more realistic scene, endow KAKU's world emotion and ecology, and make it more attractive.We will continue to respond player's expectations and bring a more detailed KAKU: Ancient Seal.
