clover studios interview

I just read an interview with Atsushi Inaba, president and CEO of game developers Clover Studios, regarding his company's upcoming PS2 release 'Okami'. I've been pretty excited about the game since I first saw clips of it months ago, due in no small part to the art style. The game is meant to look as though the characters and environments were drawn using classic japanese sumi ink techniques (combined with CG, of course). Inaba said his main inspiration for the game was nature itself, and wanted to "make people feel joy and happiness deep down inside."

Videos of the game can be found online at various places, but let's just go with IGN for now---> http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/678/678618/vids_1.html

Great. I love the aesthetic. I've always liked the idea of the hand drawn look in video games.
