We are getting all Otaku suddenly!

(As usual. . . you're warned. . . BAD ENGLISH AHEAD!! )

Heeeey it's me LAIA!  . . . What's up? It's an awful rainny day outside, and I feel like writting (and eating chocolate. . . but nevermind)


So Fighters of Fate have suffered some serious mutations. . . Here's the explanatory GIF.




And now, our characters will look like this:





But why guys? why would you spend time making 3 completely different styles? 



 Well, there's a story behind it.

The first characters where made by our game designer, and he felt the game needed better graphics since he's not an illustrator, and when we won the national video game contest our visit for GDC was right around the corner, and we needed something to stand out as we showed the game.

So the second graphics where made by the amazing artist Zalozabal , it was a real pleasure to work with him, his style is really unique and we felt that was something cool to add to the game.
But the problem we had was that since the characters are fully customizable (and we couldn't use frame by frame animation) the stylish tall characters suffered a lot, and the animations didn't look too good, on the other hand the original plan we wanted was to approach a super anime look. (We're quite Otaku. . . not ashamed of it at all : p )

So that's why the 3rd style is here by the super cute and amazing artist Lumaga! ( she's really awesome check it out! http://lumaga.tumblr.com/ )

We hope you like it, and we'll bring videos of the fully customizable avatars soon!

Stay tunned. . . Laia out!
