SAHCon Hiveswap Act 3 Panel - Art Assets!
here's what we got a look at in the panel today! :D
during the entire stream, a song by james roach from the Act 3 OST played in the background, which used similar sounds to the wii channel shop theme.
started off with some lovely background art of the area outside of fiamet's hive by xamag, followed by some character sprites of trolls done by dagmar! along with a still image of an imperial drone by paperseverywhere.
onhors's pants were reportedly a point of contention, as their design was difficult to stylize and simplify!
then we got a couple more lovely backgrounds by xamag of a mall, cridea's hive, some areas within the jadeblood caverns, and a spaceship with a giant heart in the inside?!
the team members commented that you can infer a lot about cridea's personality just from her room, which has a lot of cute animations in it in the actual game. they also mentioned that her design was reworked from its initial version and it's a lot cuter now!
apparently, we will be seeing a few "mall crawler jades" who were designed for this area. this is also where the new james roach track plays
this cavern entrance gate is a piece of adult-designed technology that has since fallen into disrepair over the sweeps. the team talked for a moment about how much adult-built architecture there may be abandoned all over alternia.
it was spoiled for us that joey is going to space!
the team talked a lot about how they would love to tell us the lore behind this heart, and many other alternian and hiveswapian things, but they must resist until the game is released.
after this they moved on to the QNA portion which i'll post separately :]
hope everyone is excited for the next installment of hiveswap!
this panel was streamed as part of SAHcon, and the vod is up here for archival viewing.
