Champions Online Meet the Team Q&A

The newest meet the team Q&A on the Champions Online website features environment artists Andrew Jansen.
Q: What goes into creating an in-game environment?
A: First, we've got to look at what story is being told, and create an environment that helps support the narrative. We look at what gameplay will be in a specific area, and we work with the designers to make the gameplay feel cohesive to the surroundings. Sometimes it's a challenge to make an environment that looks good and makes sense in the world, but is still fun.

Q: What do you draw inspiration from?
A: A lot of things in the world around me. I'm always getting ideas from movies, people, places, other games and life in general.
