Octogirl looks cool. I hope they handle rival fights well.


The concept art for this game is so amazing. They need a LE with an artbook of all this stuff.
 
That signpost is giving me some heavy Jet Set Radio vibes. Is that the Squid language still?
It's just the way Japanese sign post are. We should remember Jet Set was based in the look of Japanese urban areas.

The "feel" im actually getting when i see the game is from something inspired from a Gainax show/series.
 

イカ研究所からの調査報告だ。 タコ軍団には、イカと同様、ヒトの姿に変身できるものがいるようだ。だが、不思議なことにメスの個体しか確認されていない。メスのタコだけが変身能力を持っているのだろうか?それとも単に誰かの趣味なのだろうか……?

It's investigation report from the squid Institute. The octopus corps, as well as squid, seems there are things that can be transformed into a form of human. But, not only female individual is confirmed Strangely. I wonder only female octopus has a makeover ability? Or simply ...... wonder that someone hobby?


いつもスケッチを送ってくれている調査員の1人から、クリスマスカード代わりに1枚のイラストが届いた。 どうやら彼も、すっかりイカの魅力に毒されているようだ。

Google translate:
Always from one investigator that sent me a sketch, has arrived one of the illustrations instead Christmas card. Apparently even he, seems to have been completely poison the charm of the squid.

Feel free to provide a better translation.

Anyway. Only Female octopi can transform, huh? Devs love both the octo and squid girls. Octopus girl looking awesome.

Also. Love the artwork for the game. The charm of the squids was apparently too much for the investigator. Great little christmas / holiday splatoon card from our inkling overlords.
 
dammit the art of this game is superb I really hope they'll release a collector edition with artbook & OST included!
 
i also like that octo girl too, (even if for now she have the shadowing on her head in the wrong side). I bet it won't be long there will be some art of her....
 
Didn't realize Octogirl was wearing a visor. Thought she just had weird eyes.

Echoing others in how much I like the art style. I also like how it's simultaneously very Nintendo (bright and cartoony) while also very distinct from other Nintendo art styles.

The art reminds me of street-chalk :-p As for the octopus girl, I wondered if the octopus girl in the last trailer would be the only octopus girl so it's nice to see there's more than one.
 
Splatoon's Tumblr blesses us with higher quality artwork.

It's really starting to feel like people ignore my posts. I edited my last one to make it more obvious, but the Splatoon Twitter's uploads are actually done in their original quality, but you have to add the :orig suffix.
(If anyone else wants to do this in the future, just add :orig to the very end of every pbs.twimg.com URL. For example: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B3gXWxMCQAA_1rX.jpg:orig.)

I'm reading them, JB, and thanks to you I've been delighted to see the images in their highest quality. Thanks man!
 
Well, just going by the file size, the Tumblr image has a bigger file size than the Twitter image in its original resolution, so I would imagine the Tumblr image is the higher quality image, though file size itself isn't exactly the best factor, but it does give somewhat of an idea.

Also, you can notice that there are some compression artifacts in the Twitter image while the Tumblr image doesn't seem to have any (from looking at it quickly).

Not much of a big deal though (at least to me). Just pointing that out.
 
A new one:

イカの足は全部で10本。
例のイカがヒト型になった時、手足で4本、髪の毛で2本、残り4本はどこに行ったのかと思っていたら……こんなところに。
ということで、これが年内最後の報告となる。
来年もイカ研究所の調査報告にご期待いただきたい。

Oh, I didn't know about this trick. Thanks for the heads up :)
