The graphically impressive 2D side-scrolling brawler, Shank, hits PSN on August 24 and August 25 on XBLA. We caught up with Jeff Agala, Creative Director at Klei Entertainment, to find out what inspired such a game and the art style the dev team adopted.
Q: Could you tell us a bit about the game and how you got started on the project?
Jeff Agala: Shank is our take in the classic 2D beat'em up. We focused on the cinematic presentation with a graphic novel inspired style. I created the concept with Jamie in late 2008 when we were trying to plan the next game for Klei."
