The first prototype was with rabbits. They're both black and white, and also highly territorial. Their neutral colors would also contrast well with bright ink colors. But why would they shoot or hide in ink? There was a disconnect between the idea and mechanics.

To help solidify direction, Mr. Sakaguchi helped identify the core mechanics with shooting, swimming in ink, etc. There were all sorts of character design ideas. But when they discovered a core idea of "moving quickly through ink as swimming," the idea of a squid stood out.

The single player campaign, or "Hero Mode," serves as a training mode for new players to help them to become familiar with controls, but also to delve into the world and helps them learn and love the characters. Salmon Run helped continue this in a new way in Splatoon 2 as well.

Time passing in our world passed in the Splatoon world as well, and player feedback was taken into account, e.g. the influence of the final Splatoon 1 Splatfest on the Splatoon 2 story. The world & characters, like Off The Hook, will also continue to evolve and expand.
