Flash Diary #10 | How Star Detective Team Came into Being

Flash Diary #10 | How Star Detective Team Came into Being

1K View2022-07-04
Yet again, Metropolis has been impacted by a mysterious incident, where a massive power outage plunged the entire city into total darkness during a famous annual E-sports event. Even more puzzling was the fact that power couldn't come back on line despite continued efforts as if the energy supply for the entire city was somehow drained.
At this critical juncture where there seemed to be no solution to this crisis, Derek joined by his detective friends took it upon themselves to scour the streets and alleyways in Metropolis for the minutest clues in order to track down the mysterious culprit.
The four investigators with unique personalities and great skills are jointly known to the Metropolitan citizens as the Star Detective Team. Now, let's delve into the creation of these new themed skins!
[Mr.5: Gentleman Detective]
Mr.5 is actually the first member of the Star Detective Team. In the very beginning, we had many skin drafts in various stylistic themes for Mr.5, including wild west, buccaneering, street graffiti and fallout wasteland.
We ultimately settled on the steampunk style as a reinterpretation for this double agent. The initial skin of Mr.5 was based on the soft sci-fi style with many high-tech gadgets including bomb pen, electromagnetic gloves, and drone laptop, which could be perfectly integrated into a steampunk rendition.
On top of that, we designed splendid red special effects for the skin. Make sure to check it out in the game!

[Derek: Yuppie Detective]
In sharp contrast to the detective you see today, Derek's skin was originally conceived in the "phantom thief" theme. Sporting a top hat and a mask in a black suit, Derek was supposed to be master thief manifesting out of thin air in the dead of night.
But later on, considering the overarching steampunk theme of the skin set, we had to give up the original design in favor of the Yuppie Detective you see today. Now Derek is in a classic overcoat and even his pet lizard is a changed creature. What remains unchanged, however, is his relentless pursuit of truth and indomitable spirit in solving all the cases.
Which version of Derek is more to your liking?

[Mikko: Fashion Inspector]
If you are one of the more perceptive observers, you may have noticed that Mikko's skin in the set is rather different from the other three in that it is more street-style and fashionable. That's because every detective has to have an undercover informant who can blend into the local community.
This skin of Mikko's is nothing short of a Metropolitan fashion van-guard. Trendy T-shirt, skateboard, headset, these are the must-haves for a local Metropolitan resident! Will Mikko in this disguise be able to find the much sought-after clues?

[Sandy: Sanlock]
The well-dressed Sanlock with his powerful punches is the most dreaded detective for the Metropolitan underworld.
His skin has also gone through an arduous creative journey starting out as one of the Metropolitan security personnel who was helping the Star Detective Team in their case. Therefore, there is a design concept in blue uniform down below. But as it turned out, we included him into the team. Why? Probably because Sanlock was too great a pun to miss.

So that is the creative journey of the forthcoming Star Detective Team skin set, which is now available after the June 23rd update.

Flash Diary #9 | A cowboy and detective fusion (hero design)
(Early design of Derek) Derek, the bounty hunter who has made his move in the Metropolis power outage, will make his debut in the new season on June 23rd. So how was this meticulous cowboy/detective created? Now let's find out! Truth be told, we meant Derek to be a cool, taciturn revenger at the very beginning (which, of course, is rather different from the final product). The skill designers had a medium-range and long-range gun-toting character in mind able to use all kinds of items. In fact, the inspiration back then was the famous vampire hunter, Van Helsing.
