Kim Hyung-tae talks about Eve in Stellar Blade
Eve is shown in the Stellar Blade trailer as a stunning woman who fearlessly battles a hybrid monster robot. The protagonist is in the news because of her good looks. Fans have also gone on to appreciate her long, and flowing beautiful hair. However, the developers have recently revealed that Eve’s elegant looks have come at a cost.In an exclusive interview with Famitsu on March 27, the game director and CEO Kim Hyung-tae along with technical director Lee Dong-gi spoke extensively about various developmental aspects of the game. During the same interview, they also spoke about the challenges the team had to face in order to develop Eve’s good looks specifically her long hair.
This revelation was made when the developers were asked about the difficulty faced in drawing Eve’s long hair stably. To this, Hyung-tae replied that creating the long ponytail was a big challenge for the team.
He also added,
“If we didn’t have that hairstyle (long ponytail), we might have been able to shorten the development time by about 1 year.”
According to Hyung-tae, the long hair took more time as it was very difficult to make the hair move around stably and beautifully. He also jokingly added that the development team requested him to make Eve’s hair short.
Interestingly, the game director also stated that since it was difficult to keep the long hair without breaking, they have offered the players an option where they could decide whether to give Eve a long or short ponytail.
I wish I still had mine like you.
