The days are getting longer. The cherry blossoms are beginning to bloom. With these first days of spring, Ignition Entertainment turns the attention of the Arc Rise Fantasia dojo to a specific facet of this definitive JRPG for the Wii – the story!

A critical element of any JRPG is story. As one plays the game, one gradually gets to know the heroes of Arc Rise Fantasia and how their lives are shaped by each other and the challenges they face. As the mercenary L’Arc, players embark on a journey to defend the Meridian Empire from invasion. Apprehensive towards his chosen path, L’Arc faces a life altering decision. As the plot thickens, relationships become complex — hinting at unforeseen consequences with unlikely friends and treacherous foes.

I had the honor of interviewing Jools Watsham, Co-owner, and art director at Renegade Kid. We talk about everything from their upcoming title Dementium 2 to the newly announced Nintendo 3DS.

Editors Note: The interview was done over skype call, answers may not be word for word from Jools.

Q: Where did the name for Renegade Kid Come From?

A: We wanted a combination of something edgy and playful. Renegade is a great word and rebellious one, and kid is more of a playful thing.

Q: Tell us a little about dementium II?

A: Dementium II is really different in every way. Its great to make a sequel to a game we made in the first placee. Big difference is the visual verity, from the hospital, like in the first one , to a snowy environment. Dementium: The Ward had the same environment, the hospital, we wanted to get away from this in Dementium II. So we added different environments, enemies, weapons. Variety is the big thing we went for. Unlike the first game, you can now jump and crouch and destroy things that  are around in the environment, with some of the weapons. I am really happy with it, no regrets at all. It was a smooth project to work on, and we had fun and squeezed as much in as possible.

Q: How did you accomplish what you needed on the DS?  Any limitations you ran into with the DS?

Cambridge, Mass. – March 26, 2010 – Harmonix and MTV Games today announced The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s classic album, Axis: Bold As Love, along with the new Jimi Hendrix single, “Valleys of Neptune” from the new album will be added next week to the Rock Band Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™. Additionally, Jimi Hendrix’s music is now exclusive to Rock Band with more songs coming to its industry-leading platform in the future.

Hendrix’s music continues to resonate with music fans everywhere as proven by the long-awaited album of previously unavailable Jimi Hendrix studio recordings, Valleys of Neptune, which debuted last week on the Billboard 200 best-selling albums chart at #4. Moreover, four additional Hendrix catalog titles — Are You Experienced (#44),  Electric Ladyland (#60),  First Rays of the New Rising Sun (#63), and Axis: Bold As Love (#67) — have returned to the Billboard 200 four decades after their original release dates, a testimony to the enduring vitality and importance of the trailblazing artist-guitarist-performer.

According to the April 2010 Stereophile review of Valleys of Neptune, “Today, [Hendrix’s] music appeals as much to musically wise 17-year-olds as to still-spirited baby boomers.”
