Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has revealed one of the items included in Hyrule Warriors Master Quest Pack. Those who purchase the DLC will be provided with access to Epona, who will be featured as a weapon.
Along with Epona, the Master Quest Pack is comprised of a new scenario, Adventure map, and a pair of costumes.
Aonuma wrote on Miiverse:
PlatinumGames has posted a new Bayonetta 2 blog post covering the game’s character models.
First, check out a few excerpts below:
So, when you make something, not just for a game, but anything, you need some kind of direction in your process. When you’re making a 3D model for a game, your direction is usually provided by concept art. Because, first, you have to know what it looks like, right? Different projects will have varying levels of detail for their concept art, but, well, as long as you have one, you can start putting a model together, I guess. So, what exactly does “put together” mean?
I mean, even if you have a still image, there’s a lot of work left to be done. This character is an enemy, so it has to fulfill the role of being a THREAT to the player. So first of all, we have to make it MOVE. All we have is this piece of concept art. From that one image, we have to decide each movement, each attack the enemy can make. This means that part of the model designer’s job is to really understand the minute details of the enemy they are creating. Since it’s snake-like, it’ll probably slink around. Since it’s got wings, obviously it can fly. Does it chomp at the player? Maybe spit something at them? Also, this thing has two faces. Which is the real one? How does it make its appearance in the game, what is its personality, is it male, female…???
Initially, I see what I can come up with by myself.
And be sure to read the full thing here with lots of information (and extra clips).
