Description
Slide 1Initial Background Concepts
What do the four center panels demonstrate?
We explored colors and moods with game elements such as enemies as well as differentiation of the RG (real ground) and the UG (underground) worlds.
What media are typically used in the very first conceptual drawings?
We use pencil and paper for practice and brainstorming. For concept art, we turn to Photoshop so that we can more easily visualize the actual screen.
How well-described are the locations in the game script, and how much is left to the designerβs imagination?
The whole team discussed to decide on the locations. We made sure to display existing landmarks when they were specified in the script, but when a whole street or a general location is indicated, the designers were free to present their ideas as to how to show what elements.
What are the black rectangular boxes for?
They are for checking what will be in the game screen.

I can't imagine how different the game would have been if one of these colors were different to the next one. All of them are excellent and they offer a different feel of each to me.

Looks like a good bunch of ideas. Too bad most of them were thrown away.

Night-time Shibuya would've been really amazing... pity the game is set in only day time.
OMG @ the construction site battle scene! That looks so good!
I'm guessing it was scrapped because of the restrictions in movement?

The bottom left shot of fighting the crow (boss?) noise on top of a building looks awesome.
That looks like a stage fit for any epic battle.

Stop trying to be smart. I didn't say it was a bad game. I disagreed the fact that it was an awesome one; none of us have played the game so none of us can tell.

and im not trying to act smart, that's just how i talk

So you think it's a good game just because others say so?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, what i meant to say was that it LOOKS like an awesome game.
But i don't see any relevance in this discussion.

I am sorry for you to not understand my attempt to humour. Please accept my sincerer apologies.
Thank you.

In my opinion as a designer in college, they haven't uploaded enough base resources for use, leaving us to search google or stockphoto places for the best images we can use. Hell, I'll even get up with my old Japanese teacher for some images and see what I can do. I know Square-Enix's style is a bit trippy but I've played a lot of their games, even from the first Final Fantasy up to now. So advice to others: get photoshops CS3, look up your resources and study hard. I know we all hate to study but it'll help. However, this may be a lot of fun. I've had tighter deadlines before.

Ah, Nomura art. You never really can miss it if you know what to look for.
Contest looks interesting, I don't mind tossing in some concept art for the giggles alone. And if there's a little bit of my own insanity within the game, then I'll just be a part of a SqueEnix game.
Also, did anyone else ooze "Jet Set Radio" when they heard the setup and the and the description.
Anyway, expect something from me.
