Description

Working on a licensed title offers unique opportunities for cross-pollenization of ideas between the game developer and licensors. Afro Samurai was a manga first, anime second and videogame third. Because development of the videogame and anime overlapped, the game team was able to draw inspiration from, and influence, the Afro Samurai anime. The game team started out with a strong vision of Afros look -- one that made a marked departure from other games out there and yet stayed true to the roots of the manga and anime. Well talk about how this look evolved over the course of development and how one moment acted as the turning point for creating the final illustrated look of Afro Samurai. Well also cover some of the rendering components used in bringing to life our unique style.
