"Gameplay is by far the top priority," Hecker stated. Between that and having to add an entire animation system with a staff consisting of two, don't expect to see the final game soon. He expects the final game to have about 20 to 30 characters with environments that will suit their diverse cast-of-Clue-like appearance. "I realised that transferring the old names would be bad, since I want to show respect for them, so I'm going to retire their jerseys, so to speak, and choose all new names." Hecker announced that the newly drawn cast would have different names than the prototypes in the beta to better suit their new appearance. "I didn't want it to be too realistic or too exaggerated, and I think we hit it on this really nice, call it naturalistic or illustrative - they look like illustrations. "We really wanted the art style to reflect the same level of subtlety that the gameplay has," Hecker told Joystiq. He turned down a position at Zynga last year to work on SpyParty, a two-player game where one person attempts to pull off a series of sneaky objectives in a crowd full of NPCs, while the other person acts as a sniper who only gets one shot to determine which party-goer is the other player. Asymmetrical multiplayer title SpyParty is getting all new character art by former EA/Maxis senior artist John Cimino.Ĭimino worked with SpyParty creator Chris Hecker on Spore several years back.
