FINISH HIM: How to Make a Killer Fatality for Mortal Kombat

Post by Gambid »

Yesterday, Steve Beran, Director of Art in Netherrealm Studios and one of the team members who have been with the game ever since the classic 2D titles made a blog entry over at PlayStation.Blog describing the way Fatalities are being created. From the article:
The fatality development process is extremely collaborative. In the past, we didn’t start designing and implementing fatalities until the majority of the game was finished. But with this game, the team began working on fatalities early in the development cycle in order to have the maximum amount of time to come up with ideas and polish them. Fatalities are born in the dark recesses of the designer’s minds – each fatality always starts with a general idea from [Mortal Kombat co-creator] Ed Boon and the designers. They basically lock themselves in a room for hours and lay out all of their ideas. Once the meeting begins, one brave soul is the first to share a sick and twisted way for the player to finish off their opponent, and the process begins.
Part of the article are also several screenshots and sketches:

Yep, everyone does, but unfortunately not every idea can be implemented. Technologies are still limited and they will most probably always be. Share some of your ideas. Would be interesting to hear them.

Sure thing, but I've got some ideas that are in place with the current tech.... meaning, they're not too fantastic.

Gonna make a little sketch of one and I'll get back to you :D
