At the time I had just entered the company and was a complete rookie when they told me to model this, so I did feel some pressure, but I was also very happy. ]]> http://platinumgames.com/2010/03/31/building-the-buildings-in-bayonetta/feed/ 13 platinumgames 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 http://platinumgames.com/2010/01/08/the-weapons-of-bayonetta-%e2%80%93-special-edition/ http://platinumgames.com/2010/01/08/the-weapons-of-bayonetta-%e2%80%93-special-edition/#comments Fri, 08 Jan 2010 05:09:18 +0000 PlatinumGames http://platinumgames.com/?p=2262 ]]> http://platinumgames.com/2010/01/08/the-weapons-of-bayonetta-%e2%80%93-special-edition/feed/ 7 platinumgames S-AC S-LT S-ST2 S-ST1 S-L S-R S-FRUD S-P A-LT A-ST2 A-ST1 A-R A-L A-FRUD A-P http://platinumgames.com/2009/12/11/butmoni-coronzon-from-the-mouth-of-the-witch/ http://platinumgames.com/2009/12/11/butmoni-coronzon-from-the-mouth-of-the-witch/#comments Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:53:40 +0000 PlatinumGames http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/?p=2188 th century advisor to the English throne, Enochian is said to be the language of Angels. Dee spent the latter part of his life trying to arrive at a universal language spoken prior Babel and the confounding of language. In Bayonetta, we use Enochian in various places. All of Bayonetta’s summons, both torture attacks and Infernal Demons, are triggered by an Enochian phrase, and all the angelic enemies in the game speak in Enochian. There are few resources for Enochian, other than some simple dictionaries, so I tried to create an idea of syntax and semantics in my head based loosely around interlinear glosses (in this case a morphophonemic transliteration) used in linguistics. Here is an example of how we did things: Kamiya-san would then go back to my original English translation for all of the lines and rewrite the Japanese subtitles for readability and to match the nuance of the English translation. I think his work here gave the game an even higher level of polish for Japanese users, and was another one of the many times I was happy I could rely on Kamiya-san’s above average English abilities. Thanks for that, Kamiya-san! ...Even though he would always get on my case about things! Hehe. BTW-Here is another bit of Enochian. For Joy’s torture attack, Bayonetta is saying Piadph (in the jaws of [death]). Sorry to disappoint some of our Japanese fans. So have fun searching the game for Enochian, whether it be hidden in magical seals or spoken by our cast of characters. Next time, I will go more into the dialogue of the game, and introduce you to our outstanding cast of voice actors! Qaal ovof vomsarg! (More Enochian!!)]]> http://platinumgames.com/2009/12/11/butmoni-coronzon-from-the-mouth-of-the-witch/feed/ 11 platinumgames enochian http://platinumgames.com/2009/12/04/the-secrets-of-bayonettas-models/ http://platinumgames.com/2009/12/04/the-secrets-of-bayonettas-models/#comments Fri, 04 Dec 2009 07:34:52 +0000 PlatinumGames http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/?p=2178 ...Jeanne’s got smaller boobs! ...And a smaller butt, too! If you lay them on top of each other, this is what it looks like. It also seems like Kamiya-san is partial to Jeanne. I’m with Bayo on this one.
