It might seem like a 160-line script should be pretty straightforward, but it's all the steps getting to this point that make it an involved process (and not every writer works that way)! I find that it helps me stay on track, while also serving as a narrative asset that I can share with the team.Īhri’s process had the added unique opportunity of taking place after the release of Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. But, at the end of the day, we’ve got a cohesive narrative document that becomes the basis for the voiceover script to make sure that the character's voice is consistent and strong. There are plenty of steps in between these, like reading existing scripts to find lines to carry over, or writing scenelets/exploratory scripts to find the character's voice. Creating a comprehensive story guide that breaks down the character's personality pillars, backstory, goals, beliefs, and relationships.Understanding what players love about that character-what is the power fantasy for this character?.Researching the champion by digging into existing content.When it comes to updating champions, I usually take a multi-step approach: So she was an ideal candidate for an ASU.Īll that said, let’s talk about how Ahri’s update is progressing!

When selecting the next ASU, we take into account many factors such as everything we talked about above, and things like tech debt and complexity, art quality, or champion popularity. are brought up to modern standards and better reflect their DNA and core fantasy.Īn ASU differs from other updates (VGUs or CGUs) as it does not touch gameplay or ability functionality, or heavily reimagine our champion’s lore. But we’ll generally update the base champion and all 1350 (and below) skins so the champ’s older in-game visuals, animations, audio, etc. Each ASU is customized to what that champ needs and will therefore vary in scale. To do this we do a number of things, like refactoring how data is set up in the engine, how art is authored across source art packages, and using modern tools and tech to upgrade the champion.Īrt is our secondary focus, with the goal of bringing an older champion up to modern day standards. We want to make future skin development for these champs more streamlined. As you can imagine, some of our older champions are pretty challenging to create skins for, and our capabilities and standards continue to evolve year after year. But before we get to the Nine-tailed Fox, let’s talk a bit about ASUs.Īn ASU (Art & Sustainability Update) is primarily focused on sustainability, aka making it easier to develop skins.
