Sweet Strategy!

More concept art for Sweet Strategy, Data West's real-time strategy game. This is 'Cube-Chan', the 'worker bee' of the game. These little dudes turn up in large numbers to do all your mining, building, and general grunt work. As far as design is concerned, we were inspired by Capcom's 'Servbot' character, and the 'Moo' enemy from Klonoa.

Eclaire!

Concept art of 'Eclaire' (Sweet Strategy).

 

The first unit design for our RTS Sweet Strategy is 'Eclaire', who is meant to be a femme-fatale, 'Mata Hari' type character. She doesn't actually attack, but she'll slink around the enemy base, charming their troops into joining your side. I guess she's sort of like the Monk in Age Of Empires... but a pastry. Wearing lipstick and high heels. *cough*

It's like WarCraft, except the dev isn't laying off huge numbers of staff for no reason! Coming in 202X from Data West!
