- Who were the real Oriental Pirates? - 15 September 2020
Good day, révolutionnaires! Today is an important day for Banner of the Maid: its first DLC, The Oriental Pirate, is now available too on consoles. To celebrate this occasion, we want to take a look at the historical people and period that inspired this DLC. For us, it is a well-known history – as you know, CE Asia and Azure Flame are both Chinese-based companies; so in some way, this DLC was a nod to our culture and history from the beginning. On the other hand, for Western players the French Revolution is of common knowledge and it’s the Oriental pirates who sound exotic. So let’s take a look at the infamous Pirates of the Chinese Sea! In the West, the Golden Age of Piracy is said to end around 1730. Pirates had thrived in a certain historical context, and when these conditions changed, they became a relatively rare problem again. But piracy in the South Chinese Coast did not arise un…

Last week I showed you how Pauline’s design evolved over time; this time I want to give you some insights on the creation process of some secondary characters of the game. Let’s start with Charlotte Cornell, for example. This is her final design; when I was painting her, I paid special attention to how the different fabrics and materials of her clothes would behave. I hope you can see it in the folds and creases of her jacket, leather boots… This is Rose Duter, general of the French artillery regiments.
