At the very beginning, there was the idea:
"We should make a game about a wizard who uses guns, and call it Gun Wizard."
Then there was a LOT of talking and drawing and typing up ideas. Here are John's concept costume designs for the Gun Wizard, or GW as we like to call him because we're playing up the nameless character trope out of laziness and also it sounds badass.
Pointy hat and beard were a given from the very beginning.
He uses guns, right? HOLSTERS. Yes? No?
I'm not entirely sure when we decided to go for the steampunk look for the game world, but I do know it was very early on. This kind of outfit is better suited for a different character, though.
Ultimately, the fancy boots, gauntlets, and trench coat type cloak all made the cut.
But the detail will be tremendously cut down for sprite purposes.
Here's a cartoony, colored version I made when I realized the only colored artwork we have of final design GW is from sprite tests.
