We made this Visual Proof of Concept after Sony expressed interest in seeing the characters in motion at GDC 2017. We spent a week animating and building the city for this presentation which was ultimately turned down by Sega.
This was the first step towards a gameplay demo. If Sega was interested we were going to invest in making a functioning prototype.

Sega plz
really appreciate your guys effort , it looks wonderful!
Great job honestly! Real bummer this was turned down after all the effort and love you can feel coming out of this.
SEGA please look at this.
Sega would rather shit out more terrible furry running simulators instead of funding this, I take it.
I just want to understand the Concept of Love, is that too hard to ask?
This looks way too good to not be turn into full game. That Gum design is fantastic. Everyone who worked on this did great.
that looks…absolutely wonderful. I’m really sorry SEGA turned it down, but I definitely want to see what you’ll develop in the future! 🙂
Hell yeah! This looked great.
Is it a bad look to pitch something twice if there’s been a year or two inbetween? I don’t know if Sonic Mania might have changed their tune or not…
Jet Set Radio Mania plz
Sega you must UNDERSTAND
UNDERSTAND
THE CONCEPT OF A POTENTIALLY GREAT REVIVAL
Sega would rather keep beating the dead horse that is the Sonic series instead of starting fresh with something like this. smh
I’m so sorry imakuni
fuck sega
I feel like the designs have just a bit too much detail for my taste, but the model quality, the general aesthetic, and the colors are just… absolutely fantastic. If you guys don’t get greenlit to make a new jetset radio, I’d love to see another game by you with these kinds of visuals.
Yeah so sega Pretty much hates Jet Set Radio, this looks amazing, and Sega is now awful
Visual Proof of Concept of Love
I’m getting sick and tired of Japanese publishers sitting on their IPs and doing nothing with them, they would rather let them rot than make money and appease fans with them.
These concept designs for the characters are PERFECTION! They keep their old style but look a lot more believable!
