« TGS '08: KOFXII PRODUCER AND VOICE ACTOR INTERVIEW »

Cyberfanatix once again comes through with the fresh King of Fighters news. This is a translation of the "talk show" SNK held at the event with the games producer, art director and voice actors.

 What about the updated graphics?
(Nona): At the beginning, we were thinking about making the whole game in 3D, but we decided later to use the 2D Dot in order to respond to our 2D Dot and KOF fans. We then wanted to focus on high resolution characters and living crowded backgrounds.

What about the work on characters?
(Nona): If I do it alone, It would take me about 6 months to finish one single character. We are, currently, drawing with 4 times density , that's why everything is looking looking good so far.
(Ku): We want people to realize the time and effort that we put into the graphics, and pay attention to the muscles and facial expressions. I think they'll probably get the muscle-love fever after that (*laugh*)

Muscle-love fever, huh...? Interesting! Maybe something got lost in translation there.
