I regret to say that this game needed more and certainly better play testing.

With the digipack now in my possession, I was also able to produce the high quality scans that my previous ISO disc image upload to Internet Archive deserved. (3/3)

I also had the honour of interacting with the exceedingly recluse artist Yoshio Kiso whose unmistakable visual signature confounded Cosmology of Kyoto players for years. Our exchanges rekindled their desire to complete an unfinished project, possibly as an illustrated book. (2/3)

I searched the most common video hosting sites some weeks ago and couldn't find it. It did not even occur to me to check IA.

Cheers. Was it already available elsewhere?
I do need to work on those captions as soon as I can spare an hour or two.

The models were designed, sculpted and painted by Yūsuke Takayanagi and his team. Footage of the animation process can be found in the game's ending credits. He also designed the creatures for Maten Densetsu: Senritsu no Ooparts and the dragon maquettes for Panzer Dragoon Orta.

Neo Organic Bioform is a 1995 dungeon crawler exclusive to the 3DO. Unlike other Octagon productions, N.O.B. abdicated the anime look and embraced the gruelling complexities of stop-motion animation. The inspired mutant puppet roster is only coyly showcased by the insipid cover design.

Kitō's work for Wachenröder displays many stylistic similarities to the above piece. He is also credited as the designer of the airship featured in the Treasure Hunter G guide cover; as well as co-author of the seldom seen egg-shaped robot model from Elemental Gear Gimmick alongside Takayuki Takeya.

Glimpses of the additional - and if I may say so, rather exquisite - modelling and character design work for Baroque by Tony Kim and Noriaki Kaneko can be found in the pages of the 1999 "Distorted Delusions" guidebook.

Despite its stylish editing, I always suspected the cover for the original SS and PS Baroque editions featured an actual model, as opposed to a CG render. Today's Baroque-Ya press release made this pristine photo available. I have no reservations attributing this work to Eisaku Kitō.
