Featurette Ruined King: A Developer's Story featuring Joe Madureira

Riot Forge has released a short video featurette on the upcoming game Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. It's an interview with the creators and developers that breaks down some of the characters and the unique new combat gameplay decisions. They say it's Battle Chasers: Nightwar but cranked up a notch.

Here's a transcript of Joe's speaking parts.

I'm Joe Madureira. I'm the CEO and Creative Director at Airship (Syndicate). Ruined King is an RPG with turn-based combat, and you play as a group of champions that are from all parts of the world. They converge in Bilgewater which is this town of traitors, rogues and thieves. Some live there and some are just transient and visiting for who-knows-what purposes.

Because of my background in comics, I approach everything as sort of like... what is the comic book version of this character or this scene.

Art Advice 2.0 from Joe Madureira

Joe Madureira has continued voicing his art advice with details on what gear he uses, his influences, and skills needed for working in the game or comic industry. Art Advice 2.0 Now for the specific art questions I do get very often: 1-I use a technical pencil with HB lead 99% of the time. Staedler, Koo-in-oor, Prismacolor Turquoise, it’s all good. Take your pick. I use them all. Sometimes I work on paper that’s a little different ( smoother or more coarse ) and I may move up or down to an H or a B lead if needed. But I find H and 2H digs into the pap er and is too hard to erase ( Which sadly I do a lot of ) and B is too soft ( smudges like a mofo.) B is fantastic for going back over lines, darkening , and adding weight to your lines. Basically, ‘inking’ with a pencil. **Just keep a sheet of scrap paper under your hand or you will smudge the shit out of your drawing!!!** HB suits my needs 99% of the time. Really no need to switch it out, just adjust your pressure. Harder or...
