Yoshi’s Woolly World devs on the graphics, made real items with wool for testing
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 13 Comments
This month’s issue of EDGE has a short interview with the developers behind Yoshi’s Woolly World. The magazine spoke with Nintendo producer Takashi Tezuka as well as executive producer Etsunobu Ebisu from Good-Feel. Given the unique style featured in Yoshi’s Woolly World, the discussion focused on the game’s visuals.
Tezuka first spoke about Yoshi’s Woolly World’s art style in general:
We’ve always felt that Yoshi deserves to have a handcrafted feel to the graphics, and we’ve strived to bring this into games like Yoshi’s Island and Yoshi’s Story. With those previous titles, it was just that – an aesthetic – and didn’t really have much influence on the gameplay itself.
Tezuka also specifically explained the decision to use wool in the title, and how the graphics impact the gameplay:
