Okamiden development details

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment

– Prototype shown at the end of 2008
– Director Kuniomi Matsushita and other staff members started working on it long before then
– Background was created with black ink art style, many people were impressed with it
– They then showed a character and the impressions were still very positive
– Character was originally Amaterasu, not Chibiterasu
– Matsushita felt pressure about finalizing a project plan, lead character designer randomly approached Matsushita and said he made Amaterasu’s child, plan solidified when Matsushita saw it
– Matsushita will sign the artwork above along with the rest of the staff when the game’s development is finished

Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!
