"Clearing up a lot of crime through creating a lot of crime"

Jake Hollands from Roll7 details Not A Hero.
Bengt Lemne 30 October 2014

We were joined by artist Jake Hollands from Roll7 (OlliOlli) to learn more about their latest game Not A Hero that sees the player fight to put a corrupt mayor in office.

"You're working to get Bunnylord who is an antropomorphic rabbit from the future who wants to be mayor in New York in our time for some reason. Not entirely sure why, apparently it's the best time to be in, you know. So you're going around killing all the mob bosses kind of clearing up crime through creating a lot of crime."

Artist Hollands explained why he is so fond of pixel art.

"It's kind of quite abstract. You try and communicate a character or an objective through just 8 by 8 or something like that and it's just kind of a nice challenge to try and make that clear through that. It's a lot of fun to work with really. I really think that pixel art is something that can really develop. There's a lot of stuff now that really hasn't been done with pixel art I think."

Not A Hero is set for release on PC early next year, with PS4 and PS Vita due out next summer.
