Happy Belated 4th of July!!!

Well I hope everyone had a very nice red, white, and blue day! I know I did. Over the weekend I ended up finding a 2D artist for our team project. So now I'm a bit ecstatic about our new teammate. Soon I will introduce 4 new characters in hopefully the next post. As soon as I get a web coder, we will begin the process to making a website. This is where the game will unfold candidly. I look forward to the next post! See you soon!

Two steps forward, nine steps back

Nobody said game development would be easy, and no one surly said that it would be smooth sailing, and I probably should have posted this last week. Unfortunately, Mr. Vriens has dropped from the team. Due to scheduling and other matters he is unavailable to the Ninja Gate team. So now we are searching for a new 2D artist. But we wish Mr. Vriens luck on his artistic journey. Feel free to check out his blog site. Congrats to him having Capcom show off his work at E3. Like I've stated before, check out his blog site. It has some goodies and other tidbits.

Character concepts part 3

All right character concepts coming up....now! Right now we are confirming two new characters for the game. First up we've got Raizo's rival Gokuza Ichimonji. Next we got our free spirited capoerista Mokoko Rodrigue. That brings our roster to 5 fighters total. Thank you for keeping in touch and following our blog. Next update we will confirm more characters as time ensues.

Character concepts part 2

Welcome to another current post from Ninja Gate Studios. Right now we are confirming another character in our ensemble boosting our existing roster to 3. Usually we would display some concept art, but this is not the case here. We are introducing our "joke" character Zak!! This character will be an actual character in the game. He is based off of a friend that I know in real life. Soon you'll see him in 2D glory when the final character art is released. So enjoy his two photos of awesomeness.

Tasty Tidbits

Right now I'm still drawing the concepts for some of my characters before I announce them here. So I will share a little tidbit with you. Here is the logo for our game. It's unfinished, but I hope you still enjoy it!!! The ideas were collaborated between Tim Jones and myself. The design was done by Tim Jones.

Character concepts part 1

We are doing the first wave of character concepts before we finish the final drawings for the game. Here we have some concepts of two of the characters; the main character Raizo Moshuken and tae-kwon do prodigy Dae-Jung Park. These are the two confirmed characters of the game so far so enjoy! Right now I am drawing out more characters with the other artists to post in the future so stay tuned. We are also drawing the storyboards for the game as well.
