Oh sweet. Recently got a PS4 put up in the upstairs study, so that'll do nicely.

Sweet! Can't wait, cause I love PS4 Dynanic themes.
That theme is gorgeous and I love the music. Now not sure whether to use that or the awesome I Am Setsuna Kuro theme
I guess I'll switch every now and then!
I really wish that the PS4 let you randomize themes on launch.
Yeah I'd love to have this instead of switching themes every now and then. Choose a random set of 3-4 to alternate betwee.
That new piece from Kikuta is awesome. I love it when themes change the PS4 music. In fact I won't install a theme that doesn't have music associated with it. That combined with the leaves that come across the screen really make that theme. I wish the Setsuna theme and slow gentle snowfall.
Yeah, when the game's out we may do something like that.
Right now, though, we're doing this to reward fans and hopefully promo the game to more people that aren't familiar with it to hit those pesky stretch goals.

That's absolutely gorgeous, I love a good calming theme! The Skullgirls Theme is one of my favourites, too. Dat music.

As everyone has said, a pleasant theme! I'll be sure to pick it up once available.
No, this is likely a cinematic piece for explanation, sadness, pensiveness, etc.

Come on Sony, if the 3DS can do it, so can you.

Love the theme. Can't wait to use it.
Makes sense. BTW, any plans to sell the Anja statue post-release?
No, we need to keep that stuff exclusive to the campaign for it to have value.
I'm sure we'll have some extras made to hold onto for contests, etc. But we wouldn't sell that version directly.
Well, that settles it. I've sent you a message via Indiegogo about upgrading my perk. Really want that statue, and it's a good opportunity to further the game's development.
We'll be launching the BackerKit surveys soon, and that's where you should upgrade.
We'll reveal a piece of art for the giclee print when the BackerKit surveys go out.
It may not be the final-final art, but would define the tone and theme we'll be going for in the final piece.
I'm so damn excited that this game is being made.
* Elements of Valkyrie Profile.
* Great, distinctive art style
* Interesting worlds to explore.
* Female, non-white protagonist for a change.
I can't be certain that I will love the end product. But I'm really happy to contribute (in a small way) to its production.

I hope it's not too fuzzy and cute :E
I think the Roti plush covers that angle.
I wanted each physical piece to have a different mood. So the plush is cute, the statue is fierce, and the giclee will be something else.

A beautiful theme. I may have finally found a replacement for my absolute favourite PS4 theme.
That's good to know. I'm hoping for something...adventurous I guess. Like start screen where Anja is looking towards the horizon.

Wanted to ask this earlier but GAF dying+ my internet dying also is not helping me....
I'd really like it to, but ultimately that's up to 505.
Not yet - should be submitting very soon, if it hasn't already.

Oh....oh my.
We've signed the contact, so now we're focused on getting the press release approved and video assets for an announcement trailer.
They've tentatively agreed to a date, so there's that.
Hopefully that's a good "oh my."
We've been experimenting like crazy to improve the environments, so really hoping people are happy with the direction it's going.
I love the concept art and the character work. I... am somewhat bothered by the backgrounds still. In fact I kinda feel it's looking worse now than it was before. I dig what it's going for but the implementation looks a bit too much like a generic texture filter. It's just not natural and feels like details are being destroyed to create that look, and it still clashes with the character sprite which remains sharp, clear, and detailed. Is this still early work-in-progress? I think making the backgrounds look more 2D is the right approach, but not sure about the result here.... ^^;

its a positive comment. =P
Cant wait for the next playable demo, if there ever is one.
Awesome!
Still lots of experimentation going on.
Not sure what you mean by "a generic texture filter," though, because all the new textures are hand-painted.
Also, keep in mind that it looks very flat now because those only have ambient lighting applied and no shadows. The prototype's backgrounds had shadows painted in with vertex lighting, which is part of the reason they looked so much more "3D."
We're still experimenting, but the environments will be a mixture of 3D objects, 2D textures on bent surfaces to give them some depth, and 2D cards. Basically, the further back you go, the more 2D things become. And things in the foreground, like obstructing columns, plants, etc. will also be 2D.
We're trying to achieve the "deep painting" look we had with Skullgirls environments and the set pieces in the prototype, but hitting that with modular geometry is a lot harder than dealing with custom pieces.

Maybe a bit more shading and detail density in the back and foreground would help or some more worn out look. Like random details like vines or overgrown grass or cracks etc. I'm figuring the places we adventure to are not meant to be well-kept or something
I love how the characters look and animate but got to agree environments look a little bit pale compared to the character art.
As a suggestion I would take a look at Odin sphere muramasa or dragons crown maybe to get some ideas of how to make the backdrops a bit more lively. Those are all 2d graphics which is a bit different I'm sure though.
I love those games too and like how they execute parallax similar to how valkyrie profile did also.
It looks great as is imo but I think a little bit more could be done with the background art. But again already looks nice dint get me wrong still excited for my ps4 pre-order!

In particular I was referring to the forest screenshot. I guess it was a poor way to describe it. The details in the textures for the greenary feel like they have less details than they should for the resolution, almost like they were lower resolution backgrounds upscaled and touched up by filters that ironed out the details in favor of clarity and smoothness. I dunno, I hope that made sense in some way at least!
