Concept Art

A bunch of concept art for the game can be unlocked from finishing the game, while others can be found online from the official Japanese website, a lot of them showcase earlier versions of certain character designs, and models.

Official Japanese Website

Dillon

2 Early Dillon outfit designs that can be found on the official Japanese website.

• The first outfit has a longer bandana, different shoulder armor, red spikes instead of bronze spikes, a white cowboy hat with different looking goggles, brown cowboy boots, white gloves, and a holster instead of engines.

The text reads "Initial idea for Jiro's costume. Jiro 1: I tried to focus on the near future, but it seemed like the science fiction feeling was too strong."

• The second outfit almost resembles the final design, but with a different belt design that almost resembles the one Dillon wore in the Rolling Western games, red spikes, no goggles, silver claws, and has a holster instead of engines.

On the artwork itself, the text reads "Costume consideration number 2. This is almost the final version, but I accidentally forgot the spikes on the back."

An earlier model based off the second concept art can be found in the game files (albeit with a different belt), and can be seen when the player completes a village mission.

Along with the early engines, that matches the early Dillon unlockable concept art in the game.

Shinji Usui's Blogspot

On December 16th, 2021, 3 years after the game released, one of the concept artists of the game Shinji Usui, uploaded three pieces of concept art on his blogspot profile, this one being for this game.

These would be for motorcycles that were once planned to be used by the Amiimal Gunners during development, instead of them riding inside the player Amiimal's trailer vehicle.
