An Update of Major Proportions!
Hey Backers – We’ve got big, big, BIG surprises for you today! Let’s kick things off with a bang!
Up until now, we’ve been using the in-game sprites to represent our box art, or “key art”. But – just like in Pirate’s Curse, the way our sprites look in the game aren’t exactly how they appear close up. At last year’s Tokyo Game Show, Matt began working with Inti Creates and KOU (the same illustrator from Pirate’s Curse) to come up with a distinct visual style for Half-Genie Hero’s key art, and now it’s ready for you to check out!
Lovely art, with the highest quality as always. 🙂
I vote for #4: http://i.imgur.com/8UE0FtG.png
Shirt from the first, shorts from the second, shoes from the third!
I got a gut feeling that ye giant mermaid in the poster’s gonna be not just a boss, but a possible casualty of the ques-
…Unless that whole factory schpeel those crocomen were running to mutate the mermaids has to do with her being a villain…?
Huh.
Lore be deep, yo.
Anywho, Number 1’s my choice, despite 2 being in the lead by a nautical mile.
Ah well, happy to be around again c:
Imma say No 2 – baggy pants and all…
Sincerely, i find it weird that only the bottom part of the pants is baggy, and THAT baggy.
But hey, it’s also nice that you’re keeping the artwork more consistant, since Pirate’s Curse had noticeable details changed from sprite to portrait.
Also, new style looks more like the classics. Before it just had that super baggy look that changed the proportions so much… Well, it’s nice to see the development is up and running. Maybe sometime give an estimation on the possible launch date? ;^)
Ah, and for the Genie Rival vote, i really don’t care. All of them just fit perfectly and are equally as cute.
But if i had to decide i’d pick #2, or just put aside #3. But that’s just me.
I would have donated, but at the time the Kickstarter was rolling, i hadn’t even realized how good WayForward was. Well, at least I can still get the games.
As I’m a Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero Slacker backer (PayPal) I can’t post any comments in the Shantae:HGH Kickstarter page.
This is Very Cool. The only thing missing in this image is Nega-Shantae (& a vote on Nega-Shantae’s costume).
It will be cool to have a physical copy of Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero for XBox 360, PS4 & PC.
I wonder if there a small chance that WayForward & the publisher could do some type of backer exclusive/ limited edition with the physical copy of Shantae:HGH, such as different box art to the non-backer version, steelbook, Shantea:HGH figgurine &/or a strategy book, ect, ect for example?
If I had to pay a little extra to get a limited edition physical copy of Shantae:1/2 Genie Hero I wouldn’t mind.
Ill either vote for 1 or 2 when it comes to the rival genie custume.
Will we get to vote on the rival genie name?
I wonder if Twitch, Vinegar & Barracuda Joe will be sub/mini bosses in Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero.
Good work WayForward.

I’d have to vote for #1 because the leaf ornaments in her hair look really nice.
