The many faces of Roboto
Posted 28th Sep 09, by Willy C  
We've been having some discussions over at the gamesare forums trying to figure out what direction to go with the art in the game.

I kind of want a simple, flat, cutsy style. Very much inspired by Adam's "Roly poly pumpkin"

But it might be to simplistic, or perhaps even more likely, I am not that good of an GFX artist to recreate something like this.

Mr. Roboto has been through some different styles during its development. So what are you guys opinions of the following styles? Do you like the current simple style or the old detailed style? Or perhaps some kind of hybrid between the two?

Hmm, they both look good for their own reasons; the simple version looks great because i tend not to use outlines myself, though the detailed version reminds me of Futurama (which is also good)

Oh yeah, I also meant to say the simplistic style looks better IMO

Thanks for the feedback.

Gyromite looks really cool, I'll try it out later.
