Lost Planet

Now that I have done my last (?) developer interview for the blog, I have a special treat for you in the form of a photo tour through the Lost Planet development team studios at our headquarters in Osaka, Japan. This is my “thank you” to all of you supporting the blog by coming back and reading it (and posting comments!). It’s also a big “arigato!” from the Lost Planet team to all the fans of the game.

There’s a ton of pictures to share, so I’ll divide this into 3 parts, all this week. Monday (today) is Part 1, and I will be putting up Part 2 on Wednesday and Part 3 on Friday.

Today we’ll take a look into the art, cinematics, and design areas of the team. Wednesday we’ll see the programmers, localization team, and the sound designers. Friday will be the “special thanks” crew, as well as Takeuchi-san (the Director) and Inafune-san (Executive Producer).

Note that not EVERY person that worked on Lost Planet will be pictured. Although they are still hard at work on downloadable content, some have moved on to other projects within Capcom.

Also, you may recognize some of the people in the pictures from previous interviews I’ve done on the blog here.

First up is the talented team of designers that put Lost Planet together, including Director Kenji Oguro.

Next we have the talented team that put together the cutscenes in the game.

And finally, the third group we have today is the amazing art team that did the animations, backgrounds, textures, modeling, etc.

Feel free to post comments and messages for the team!

Remember, Part 2 and Part 3 are coming very soon!
