It was all very reminiscent of City of Heroes, not because of the setting but because the art team bothered to use bright colors that made the experience inviting rather than an unspoken challenge.
FUSIONFALL MANGA ZIP
The game blends elements from platform games into the traditional MMOG framework, and there are entire “dungeons” (the ones I saw were giant, vertical spaces with zip lines and super trampolines acting as puzzles) in which you don’t have to fight anything but the environment. In front of me were monsters with a very robotic feel to them, roaming around and terrorizing the scenery. Floating around my head was Eddy, from Ed, Edd n Eddy. When I hopped into the game, I began in a park, dressed in what looked like a futuristic tracksuit with armor. The Americans on the dev team spent considerable time – some spent over a year – in South Korea overseeing the game’s development. But it’s not strictly an outsourcing relationship. And while the designers are American, the majority of the development team is based in South Korea. Also on the team are a number of Ultima Online ex-pats. Heading up the crew is Sam Lewis, who designed games for FASA and EA.com, back when it existed.
FUSIONFALL MANGA FULL
The design team is full of industry vets. And instead of high-powered assault rifles and razor-sharp melee weaponry, players can fire bubblegum machine guns and swing parking meters at bad guys. For instance, Dexter from Dexter’s Lab is about six feet tall in the game, and his shock of red hair has been replaced by a hipper ‘do. Targeted to the 8-14 demographic, FusionFall draws from Cartoon Network’s TV lineup and then homogenizes all the characters into a more mature, cel-shaded manga art style. “I’ve worked at Cartoon Network for eight years,” said Chris Waldron, FusionFall‘s executive producer, “and this game has been my dream for quite a while now.”
