Official comments from Yoshitaka Amano
“I have designed many characters in my career, but this was the first time for me to work with this “generative art” concept. Disassembling a character to parts and putting them back together. I had a lot of fun.
I’ve heard that GensoKishi already has plans on bringing real-life stores onto the game. I am pushing them right now so that I can design not only characters, but also it’s towers, castles, and streets.”
