The Dragon Stadium
The time has come for a new arena for Super Buckyball Tournament! Until now, our friends Pink, Pai, R47 and Lang have been playing down by the harbour and they are ready to move up into the big boy’s league.
The original idea for the Dragon Stadium is to provide the characters with a more official-looking playing environment similar to real-life where football is played in the streets on fields all around, but the bigger and more official games are hosted in stadiums.
Below you can see our original concept for the Dragon Stadium
If you remember the Great Harbor Arena, you will notice that the atmosphere is very different. First of all, the Dragon Stadium takes place at night which contrasts the blue sky of the Great Harbor Arena. Second, this new stadium is more dominated by red colours and is lit up by spotlights. And third, the Dragon Stadium has a lot more fans standing around cheering you on while you are playing.
After having decided to make this stadium, we started from scratch.
Below you can see a picture of our stadium foundation.
The challenge we faced afterwards was then how to maintain the SBT feeling and atmosphere.
And so we started to design elements to give players the feeling that this is SBT.
Here you can see our concept art for the stage which is placed on the side of the stadium.
Based on this, it seems pretty obvious why it is named the Dragon Stadium
We have also added some tour busses for our characters to have a rest and checkup stations for them to test their equipment before the matches.
Below is the concept art for the blue team’s goal post.
And here is the concept for the red team’s goalpost
The blue head is supposed to be a tiger and the orange one is a lion. Since lions and tigers naturally do not exist in the same habitat, an ancient debate about who would win in a fight between a tiger and a lion is here a symbol to show the fight between the red team and the blue team.
Another interesting fact about the two goalposts is that on the tiger’s tongue is written “over the sky, NO1” and on the lions tongue is written “under the sky, NO1” this means that the tiger is the strongest in all the heavens and the lion is strongest on the earth. Pretty cool stuff eh!
We have also added a few squares on the ground in front of the goalposts to help the goalie get a feeling for his position in front of the goal.
Here you can see a few pictures of the final design of the Dragon Stadium.
We are pretty excited to bring this stadium to you in our next update and to put some more variety into the game. What are your thoughts?
