Hey Moongazers!

WistieCutie here.

I’m dropping by to get you updated about the remake of Konran;Zanki.

Now that SoraKagi’s beta full version has been released (please give it a try), I started working on Konran;Zanki. I started rewriting on the script, working on the characters’ designs, coming up with new ideas and methods to improve the game and etc… and etc…

Today, I’m showing you a few new stuff that will appear in the final game.

First let’s take a look at the characters’ new designs!

You might notice a big difference in the artstyle, compared to the previous version and the OG version.

It was the purpose behind this new redesign.

I wanted to walk away form the generic anime style and instead, give each character a distinctive appearance.
Another detail are in the clothes: I wanted to give them a retro futuristic type of fashion that is simple to draw yet efficient in design. More notably , I think it was a mistake not to include it in the first game but each character’s Prism  now comes with an external piece, which will be different for each character, each with a specific design to suit them.

I’m really excited to share the first official sprites with you!

Another notable artistic decision is related to the game’s environment. I want the game to pop! I want it to have colours and, again, sweat with that « retro futuristic » aesthetic, hence why I chose to rely on the Frutiger Aero aesthetic to design the maps:

Many other aspects of the game will be changed: the format by instance, leaving the 2.5D VN format for a top-down view.

To improve the Prism’s gimmick in the game (like adding a telephone type of interface) and other fun add-ons!

I know that I’m really excited to work on this project! Work with the future voice actors, with my friend Mikan and the talented music composers who will help  to create an amazing score which should include more original work, to bring Konran;Zanki to the next level! 

Take care everyone and see you all in a future devlog!✨
