The new MMO from several World of War😼craft veterans could have an art style inspired by Arcane, Persona, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
The very tantalizing tease comes from Greg Street, who was a WoW veteran, but has since departed to set up his own studio called Fantastic Pixel Castle. Street's current project at the new studio, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:an MMO codenamed Ghost, is currently t🅘rying to nail down its art style, a♐ccording to the developer's tweet below.
We are working on Ghost’s art s🏅tyle across a lot of vectors and one of the things I want us to explore is magic thꦫat breaks the overall art style in order to feel otherworldy. Looking for suggestions for games, especially obscure ones, that visually depict magic this way.
To do this, Street's team is turning to shows like Arcane, movies like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and games like P🧸ersona 5 for inspiration.♛ Street is specifically looking for examples "where magic can be stylized even if the game/show itself is not."
If that's Street's focus point, we'd say his inspirations are bang on the money.♏ All three inspirations feature stylized impact points, whether it's the 'Bang!' when an enemy gets hit by an attac💞k in Persona 5, or the comic-book style effect of Miles Morales punching a foe in Spider-Man.
Before your imagination runs wild, Street clarifies to his Twitter f🅷ollowing that he's deliberately looking for inspir🔥ations for Ghost's magic, and not characters. "It may be worth saying that Ghost's overall character models and environment art are unlikely to be hyper stylized or gritty realistic on either end," the designer . "But magic is magic and doesn't have to follow rules."
Still, it's pretty exciting news for those looking forward to whatever Ghost actually ends 🔯up being. The thought of a huge-scale MMO that has Persona-like magical effects lighting up its a world is a pretty damn good sell.
Elsewhere, Street recently said that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ghost꧋ players should exp🧸ect difficulty spikes. The reasoning behind this thinking is that Street believes RPG are 🤡more fun when they're a "little difficult," an𓂃d this goes "doubly true for MMOs."
