I'd lie if I said that Superstar Saga wasn't an inspiration for the colors. You'll find out, or at least feel it I hope. That specific shade of magenta is reserved for sparrow though, and there's one particular location in the game where the colors are warmer. Sparrow, the main guy, has this blue-white-magenta color scheme going on which is reflected pretty much everywhere else - cool colors, pink, blue, white. Again, a few proposals were made as the very starting point of everything, with completely different archetypes (I'm leaving it to you Konidias if you want to post that specific image), each changing the setting and feel of the game completely. Same thing for the character design itself. From lanky builds like, say, Gunstar Heroes over thicker Zelda-type proportions Konidias preferred the latter, and that is why not only the characters look like that, but subsequently everything from clothes to bushes to police cars evolved to suit that style. ![]() We went through a few style iterations right at the start of the project - mainly character proportions, which then would set the basis for the rest of the entire game. Given people are commenting on the art, I thought I might chime in for a bit.
