Subject: FTW Q and A with Peter Sjöstrand Sun Jun 07, 2009 3:50 am
Sweden is awesome. This proves it.
Like many gamers, 24 year old Peter Sjöstrand is a Mega Man fan. Unlike many gamers, however, Peter has come up with one of the most interesting spins on the Mega Man franchise since the release of the X series. Mixing 2D, 3D, and co-operative play, Mr. Sjöstrand of Gälve, Sweden, dubs his project Mega Man 2.5D.
I shot Peter an e-mail, and he was kind enough to answer all of my Mega Man 2.5D questions.
Gimic300: I'll start out with the essential first question for any gamer; what have you been playing recently?
Peter: To be honest I don't do a whole lot of gaming these days. But I have been playing some Twilight Princess as well as Mega Man 9 on my Wii.
G: Would you care to explain exactly what the Mega Man 2.5D project is at this point in time? Peter: Mega Man 2.5D is an animated game concept. I'm an animator with no programming skills but I've always been interested in level design and game concepts so I decided to make it the only way i knew how to. Also it was a fun challenge since it required me to try and animate the characters as if they were actually being controlled by players rather than just animated.
G: The two beta trailers released look absolutely incredible. How long did it take to create and animate the footage seen in the two Mega Man 2.5D trailers?
Peter: Well I think the first one took about 3 or so weeks. The longer one with co-op however took a whole lot longer than that, probably around 2 months.

As you may have noticed, the site has been pretty slow lately...but I know everyone's been doing a little bit of lurking, so by now I'm sure you've seen each of the different chats.
