Tap Trial/Development: Difference between revisions

Director and Chief Programmer [[niwanetwork:Kazuyoshi Osawa|Kazuyoshi Osawa]] drew the original concept art for [[Tap Trial|Tap Dance]]. Chief Designer [[niwanetwork:Ko Takeuchi|Ko Takeuchi]], who was initially confused by it, would later draw the graphics for the characters based on the specifications, without knowing what kind of game it would be.

The concept art itself appears to match what made it into the final game with only a few minor differences, such as the [[Girl]]'s dress being longer and segmented in the middle (resembling how it looks in the [[Remix 7 (GBA)|Remix 7]] version of the game) and the [[Monkey]]s being very simple stick figures, incidentally resembling [[Play-Yan]], though it is unknown if this was simply a placeholder design. The specifications also suggest that doing two taps would have the trio step with their right foot, the same as doing one tap. They do double taps by stepping with their left foot in the final game.
