It was an incredibly unique challenge that pushed me away from animation and into pseudo-game developing. It was an incredibly fun challenge to create the gameplay and look of an 8-bit game that could easily fit right into 1982-83 arcade games like "Donkey Kong", "Pacman", and "Galaga". I did lots of research that I won't bore you with, but really tried to stay true to the technological limitations in color palate, pixel count and dimension to those of it's predecessors.
While working on it, I developed a huge respect for the designers of classic limited games. It made me want to take classic 8-bit Mario and hang him next to a Michelangelo. Shigeru Miyamoto is a true master of design and made me really re-think design in terms of how little you need to show to communicate an idea, but also how each individual pixel's placement could make a huge difference in clarity. It was also fun to do some development for the graphics for the arcade cabinet itself. I really wanted to stay true to the slightly wonky Japanese graphics like the ones on the classic Donkey Kong Cabinet and have the character designs intentionally off-model as though the art direction was communicated over a long distance call to a Japanese artist. It looks like they did a really great job with the graphics used on the machine and I was stoked to see this a real tangible game at the D23 Expo. Kudos to the Ralph crew!

Yeah, I agree. Wreck-it Ralph sounds right in line with the likes of Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong. It's also his name, which in a way leaves the film to be open to anything. The Worlds of Ralph just sounds like a bland discription of the film.Scamander wrote:Not in my opinion. The title is supposed to sound as a typical video game from the 80s- "Les mondes de Ralph" doesn't.
They would not be Disney if they did not;) Disney marketing, the most competent in the business!^^PatrickvD wrote:The video game tie-in opportunities for this are awesome. Who wants to bet Disney screws that up?
Forgot to say, I agree. But it would be nice to thing maybe they can. However modern some of their shorts were. Lady and the Tramp comes close for movies.nomad2010 wrote:I think Disney works best in fairy tales, fantasy, and escapism. Modern day things just don't suit them. Just my opinion.
