Page	Developer description
1 (early Ratchet sketches)	These are some of the concept sketches for Ratchet. We decided early on that he would be a bipedal alien creature with fur. And if anyone asks you, Ratchet is a Lombax.
2 (early Clank sketches)	Clank too went through many forms. He was originally even younger looking with a bigger head and smaller body. In fact, at first Clank was three much smaller robots but in the end we decided to use just one so that we could develop his personality more easily.
3 (Ratchet and Clank final sketch)	And here we have the final sketch for our two main characters. Ratchet came into existence on paper for the first time within two weeks of the initial idea for the game. This final sketch was done about three months later.
4 (early Batalia sketch)	Fort Krontos on Batalia came from the top sketch. We wanted to create forested islands under aerial attack. Then we turned it into more of tropical fort. Kind of the way development goes sometimes. The bottom sketch was one of the many from which we stole pieces for various levels...
5 (early Eudora machinery sketch)	These cliff-hugging structures evolved into the cliffside machinery you can see in parts of the Logging Site on Planet Eudora. They were originally part of a populated city but we decided to make this a robot-only area.
6 (Quartu factory sketch)	This is an element from the robot factory exterior on Planet Quartu. The factory on this planet is where Clank is made at the beginning of the game.
7 (early Gaspar and Rilgar sketches)	The top sketch is an early drawing of Blarg Depot on Planet Gaspar. The bottom is the production design for Blackwater City on Planet Rilgar.
8 (early Hoven sketch)	The Bomb Factory on Planet Hoven was derived from these sketches. Our original idea was that the inhabitants were mining ice and shipping it offworld. But then we decided that the Blarg should invade and convert all the processing plants to munitions factories. Blarg equals bad news.
9 (factory power source sketch)	A hanging power source for one of our factories. Can you guess which one?
10 (early Eudora concept sketch)	The top drawing shows off early concepts for the Logging Site on Planet Eudora. This was one of our first worlds and our initial goal was to create a forest-city. It changed drastically during production The bottom sketch shows off peaceful structures from the Bomb Factory on Planet Hoven
11 (Oltanis generator sketches)	Generator concepts for Gorda City on Planet Oltanis. Because the city is plagued by lightning storms, the inhabitants use the generators to attract the lightning and convert it into useful energy. Unfortunately Drek wants the generators for his new planets and the citizens don't stand a chance.
12 (Kerwan building sketch)	One of the very first levels we protoyped was Metropolis on Planet Kerwan. We wanted lots of greenery built into the retro sci-fi buildings to create a unique contrast. We ended up removing most of the bronze caps though because they began to clash with the rest of the city. This world was one of the first big ones we built and almost started a war between the designers and the artist.
13 (early Umbris sketch)	This is the first concept for Qwark's HQ on Planet Umbris. We removed the lightning rods after we realized that it made the central structure look too small. The general idea for Qwark's HQ was that it should be very reminiscent of a WWII battlefield replete with bunkers, machine guns and barbed wire.
14 (Rilgar building sketch)	Here's a building study for one of the structures near Qwark's trailer in Blackwater City. We ended up modifying it significantly though and the final result is a bit different...
15 (Batalia palette sketch)	This is a good example of the palette studies we create for every world. This one was for Fort Krotnos on Planet Batalia. We ended up changing the weather from a sunny day to a rainstorm but the color palette didn't vary very much from this painting.
16 (blarg trooper and commander sketches)	Two examples of the character sheets we use to model the enemies in the game. The top is a Blarg Trooper while the Blarg Commander is on the bottom.
17 (Robot head sketches)	We love our robots! These are some of the many head designs we created for the robot troops who fight Ratchet. And if you look closely you can pick out our Animation Director and our lead Character Designer.
18 (Ratchet's first ship sketch)	Here's Ratchets' first ship. Too bad he wrecks it so early in the game. We wanted it to be a real homemade job - held together by chewing gym and wire. We still can't agree on exactly why he crashed it on Planet Novalis....
19 (courier ship and Qwark tour ship sketches)	Finished sketches for Qwark's ship and the Courier ship that Ratchet and Clank acquire. The idea was that the Courier ship would be a slow, clunky, durable vehicle - kind of like a mail truck. Qwark's ship on the other hand was designed as a luxury craft - not too fast either but stylish and comfortable.
20 (blarg fighter sketch)	This is the original sketch for the Blarg Fighter that Ratchet and Clank pick up on Gemlik Base. We were going for sleek but deadly...
21 (blarg helicopter sketches)	Many of the enemies in the game pilot vehicles. This one turned into a helicopter piloted by a Blarg Commander in Metropolis. He's a nasty one.
22 (Grind Boots, Mine Glove and Defense Drone Glove sketches)	The Grindboots, Mine Glove and what originally was the Defense Drone Glove. We changed the way Defense Drones work midway through the project so we no longer needed that glove.
23 (Giant Clank sketch)	Here's one of our concepts for Giant Clank. Unfortunately the huge shoulder-mounted guns didn't make it in because they just weren't practical. But we did manage to keep Ratchet on Clank's back.
24 (enemy design sketches)	Some fun enemy designs. One made it into the game, four didn't. Can you pick the winner?
25 (Big Al sketches)	The many faces of Big Al. This was the first NPC (non player character) we put into the game. He's probably what most people think game developers look like...
26 (OmniWrench sketches)	One of the weapons that went through many iterations on paper was Ratchet's wrench. We didn't want something too generic plus it had to function as a tool and a weapon at the same time. It's mistakenly called an 'axe' by many but the label is appropriate in some respects since you probably wouldn't want to get whacked with it.
27 (Visibomb Gun and Suck Cannon sketches)	Designs for the Visibomb Gun (top) and the Suck Cannon (bottom). The Suck Cannon was one of the first weapons we designed and one of the few where the name stayed the same throughout the development process. It just had such a nice ring to it...
28 (Hydro-Pack, Glove of Doom and Bomb Glove sketches)	The top two designs are final versions of the Hydro-Pack. The bottom sketches are the designs fro the Glove of Doom and Bomb Glove. The Glove of Doom is an office favorite...
29 (Ratchet box cover concept sketch)	Another early version of Ratchet. Notice the different proportions, lack of eyebrows and stripes. This was also an early box cover concept...
30 (box art sketch)	This one should look familiar - the cover for the U.S. game box was derived from it. But more importantly, it was the first image of Ratchet unveiled to the world in March, 2002.

Epilogue

The Epilogue features many magazines and newspapers which reveal what happened to characters such as Skidd McMarx, Darla Gratch, and the Plumber. In order to unlock the Epilogue, the player must collect all skill points in the game.

Notes

If you start swimming, then while you are underwater; pause the game and go to the Goodies menu, and play a video. When you continue the game Ratchet will be standing on the ground at the bottom of the water, with a refilled air gauge. This trick will not work on Rilgar if you have played the hoverboard race as after the movie: you will be warped to the start of the race.
