When an event pops up, we showcase the characters involved and how they feel about the current proceedings, set against a backdrop that really helps sell the setting. Here is where the role-playing really kicks in. Generally the characters have a pose that reflects their personality or the situation they’re in. I do think the look on a character's face when he realises they are locked up together with a Cannibal is appropriately shocked though. Keeping the Rough World pillar in mind, they should not be silly and slapstick - while CK has some wonderful dark humor, we play it straight. The posing and idle animations are there to help the immersion and storytelling. Making the characters move was quite a challenge since the movements need to be very discreet, and not call too much attention to themselves as that could become a distraction from the gameplay.

I really want to stress the fantastic work our Lead Character Artist Nils Wadensten and the character team have done in bringing this new generation of portraits to our games, alongside our Engine team. Every day there’s a screenshot shared in the dev chat featuring someone they’ve encountered in-game, and we usually agree, yes, that person wears that hat better than most, or indeed, he looks just like the poster boy for the Deviant trait.įor me, the real test for the characters is if they make you feel, and It IS satisfying to throw especially smug-looking Rivals into your Dungeon, and you might feel a bit sorry for some harmless looking characters before you plot to have someone deliver poisonous snakes upon them.

Now, let’s talk about the different types of art you’ll have fun with in CK3: This is reflected in the more somber palette and overall mood of the game. An example of this would be the characters’ portraits, we did not want them small and static, they are now front and center, and show off their standing or lack thereof through clothing, as well as show how they feel about what is happening to them through body language.Īnother example would be a loading screen with some really well-painted sunflowers, but these did not exist in europe until the 16th century, which was spotted in time thanks to our Beta testers: so we sent it back to get the flowers repainted…Ī ROUGH WORLD - Crusader Kings is not a game for all-ages, you live dangerously and people do terrible, terrible things to each other. To keep ourselves on-track, three key pillars guide the art department on CK3:Ī ROLE-PLAYING EXPERIENCE - This pillar is represented by our goal to give life to the characters and their unfolding stories. Reinforcing that through the art has been the main goal. If you recall Dev Diary #0, Henrik Fåhreus’ vision of the game has a big focus on characters and storytelling, as well as approachability and player freedom. The starting point for the art direction is, as it should be, the game design. Let’s start by talking about the way we’ve approached creating the graphics for the game! Cool?Ĭertainly, you’ve seen a lot of the art already, in various states of completion, with all our diaries and previews.
