To generate this real-time, hand-painted look takes quite a lot of processing power, and I think that we’ve accomplished what we set out to do.ģ. This led to us creating the CANVAS system, our new graphic engine, to really show a sort of warmth and caring touch by creating imagery that looks like hand-drawn watercolors. We wanted to show the triumph of the human spirit, even amidst the hardship of war to do this, we felt it necessary to show not just the reality of the battlefield, but of real, human characters and emotional drama. Why did the team choose the watercolor painting art style for this game? Besides, for players unfamiliar with “Arcadia,” they won’t even realize that these characters aren’t just other random soldiers.Ģ. “Valkyria Chronicles” and “Skies of Arcadia” take place in different worlds, but try not to overthink that too much.
Since we had around 50 soldiers to create for the game, we decided to add them. The reason for the “Skies of Arcadia” characters appearing had to do with staff like Chief Director Tanaka and Chief Artist Kanazawa and other folks who had worked on “Arcadia” as well. The game’s fundamental story wasn’t really influenced by any other games. What games or other materials would you say were inspiration for this game? What inspired you to put Vyse and Aika in Valkyria Chronicles? He also took time to answer some of your questions, sent in by readers of PlayStation.Blog:ġ. He really hopes that everyone will enjoy playing Valkyria Chronicles as much as he enjoyed working on it! Just look at that face in the picture above. He really was really excited to meet all the Valkyria Chronicles and SEGA fans and appreciates everyone coming out to support the game. Afterwards, he told us how genuinely overwhelmed he was by everyone’s enthusiasm for the game. He really didn’t know what to expect from this visit. This was Nonaka-san’s first trip to San Francisco. We raffled off some very cool items such as the official soundtrack from the game, toy figures Nonaka-san brought with him from Japan, signed art pieces from the game and of course the Sony PLAYSTATION 3! Pictured below are some of our lucky winners!
For those of you curious about how Valkyria Chronicles plays, it’s been available on Qore for the past 2 weeks, and hits the wider PSN today. This was a great opportunity for everyone that attended the event to get a little sneak preview hands-on with the demo before anyone else. We even had Alicia Melchiott to greet the fans! Each person walked away with a limited edition autographed box sleeve, a handy item to have when they pick up a copy of Valkyria when it comes out in less than two weeks (November 4th!). I’d like to tell you how the pre-launch event we had at the Sony PlayStation Store in San Francisco last month went!Įager fans lined up to meet and get an autograph from our most-esteemed Producer from SEGA Studios Japan, Ryutaro Nonaka. Now let’s dig into the meat of this post. As we approach launch, we’ll be showing off more of the key units who appear in the game’s imminent release! First of all, we’ve released a few new trailers recently that showcase some of the main characters: Squad 7, Welkin and Alicia. I’m Christopher Kaminski, the US Producer on Valkyria Chronicles, here to update you on a couple of things.
