King’s Bounty: Armored Princess Interview

cRPG.ru has published an interview with Katauri Interactive studio head Dmitry Gusarov on King’s Bounty: Armored Princess. It’s in Russian, but here is one of the questions translated:

CRPG.RU: We know that the prototype of Amelie was the heroine of the film of the same name, by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and the dragon Drako resembles Stitch from the cartoon of ” Lilo & Stitch”. Tell us: what else served as your source of inspiration?

Everything which surrounds people, serves them as a source of inspiration. Amelie – this romantic and clean type, will be similar in the game, and vain and merry dragon, pocket monster, approaches very closely the role of the toy of the princess, as well as her defender. The prototypes of these characters are obvious, but there is a set of smaller things, like type of gremlin in the combat robot from the fantasy film of “Labyrinth”, or the atmosphere in new Verona from the anime of “Romeos and Juliet”. We, as always, will try to entertain players with a wide horizon and the developed associative thinking.
