TY the Tasmanian Tiger 4 - The Art of DLC

10/10.

This is a scam, this isn't an artbook it is a collage of assets. An artbook is supposed to show concept art accompanied by little textblocks explaining things from the macking of it. I wouldn't mind if this was a freebee but for a paid artbook this is vail. I know it is only 6 bucks but seriously you wanna tell me you had no concept art lying around? Well explains why your game is so lucke warm and middle of the road.

This art book was insightful in the development of the game and how the art has changed throughout all the games. It focused mainly on art for the 4th game but also showed some art from the previous games, and it also showed some unused art for the game as well. This collection also helped show how the concept art was translated into the 4th game, and a tiny bit about their game engine. All the artwork is beautiful and lighthearted. The PDF shows the pictures with pixels and not as vector, but this is to be expected, and the pictures are high quality as you can zoom in a lot and still see a lot of detail. Almost all of the artwork seems to be exclusive to this book (or hard to find, except for the first few pages in the preview being in the game.) and not found in the extras page in the videogames. (At least to my knowledge anyways). Although a very small number of illustrations are also found on Steve Stamatiadis' Deviantart page, ( http://spacecaptsteve.deviantart.com/ ) which you may want to visit if you are the type of person to buy this. You can also buy prints there, and although there are not any for Ty the Tasmanian Tiger :( , you can find some for Krome Studios’ other games and some other things. Steve Stamatiadis is the creative director or Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. I would say this is worth buying if you love the art of this game, love drawing, like making fanart, or if you're interested in game development, and if you observe well you can learn a lot. It is worth noting that although this is labelled as DLC, it will not alter Ty The Tasmanian Tiger 4 ingame, as it will instead place a PDF in the game files. To locate it, head to your library and right click on Ty The Tasmanian Tiger 4, and click 'properties.' A new window will then pop up, and you need to click on 'browse local files.' This will bring you to the game files and there you will find a folder named 'The Art of Ty The Tasmanian Tiger 4.' Inside that folder you will find the PDF. I hope this review helped you! :)
