PEOPLE: - Seita Inoue, age 37. UI Designer for Spirit Tracks. Art Director for Splatoon 1, 2, & 3. - Tōru Minegishi, age 47. Composer for Zelda titles like Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess, and A Link Between Worlds, and for Splatoon 1, 2, & 3. QUOTE: "Minegishi: The music played during battles is not mere background music of the game but also hit songs played by popular bands in the Inkling world. These are the songs the Inklings listen to every day during Turf War battles to hype themselves. During the early development of [Splatoon], Inoue-san said, ‘Maybe we could start by considering what kind of band is playing this background music.’ … [This] led us to create a unique sound for the series. Inoue: If the music can account for not only bands existing in this world, but also things like their history, the relationship between their members and how their approaches to life changed over time, it would add depth to the Inkling world."

PEOPLE: - Seita Inoue. UI Designer for Spirit Tracks. Art Director for Splatoon 1, 2, & 3. - Hisashi Nogami, age 51. Designer for BS The Legend of Zelda, Producer of Splatoon 1, 2, & 3. QUOTE: "Inoue: It is also the year 2022 in the Inkling world. … in Splatoon 1, 2, and 3, the same amount of time has passed in the squid world as in the real world. Therefore, the characters grow, and cities and cultures develop over time. For example, [the character Murch] has grown so much taller in the five years between Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3. Nogami: We wanted players to feel that the time in the game passes with their own real lives. In that sense, we could say that this is a game franchise in which players and developers walked side by side over the seven years since the first release."

PEOPLE: - Seita Inoue, age 37. UI Designer for Spirit Tracks. Art Director for Splatoon 1, 2, & 3. QUOTE: Inoue: We chose street style [for Splatoon] partly because of its contemporary design, but street culture is often derived from what we call counterculture. In other words, it implies some kind of rebellion against the mainstream. Considering this, we depicted a world of simple, mischievous street culture in the first title. In the second title, we created a world in which urban sophistication is trendy, to counter the world in the first title. In the third game, however, we tried to express that "sophistication has gone stale but disorder is now fresh" to counter the world of the second title. In this way, we felt that we could depict the world of “Chaos,” which is the theme of this title.
