- Mr. Kazuma Kaneko(ATLUS) takes part in the ZOE2 project! -- 2002/09/20update
Mr. Kazuma Kaneko, designer best known for his designs for the "Shin Megami Tensei" series, has participated in the ZOE2 project as guest mechanical and character designer.
He has designed the Orbital Frame "Inhert" and its runner "Lloyd"!
Mr. Kaneko's unique artistic taste adds flavor to the world of "ZOE".
The dream collaboration of top creators Kazuma Kaneko, Hideo Kojima, and Yoji Shinkawa has come true!


>> 3D Realization of Inhert---

The modelling and programming techniques of Konami JPN have made it possible to turn Mr. Kaneko's image 3D! Under Mr. Kaneko's supervision, we were able to successfully realize Inhert's structure and gel expression.

>> Inhert---

The goddess-head cockpit, magnetic-force-based powertrain, and its overwhelmingly unique gel armor are all gimmicks that come from Mr. Kaneko's ideas. The innovative design of "Inhert" strongly representing the "Kazuma Kaneko world" surpassed all expectations of Konami JPN for an "Orbital Frame of totally different composition".

>> Lloyd---
"Lloyd" -- the runner who pilots Inhert -- is one character that oozes with Mr. Kaneko's tastes. The 3 connectors on his head are more than enough to make him look "very different".
