Solo Game Platformer



So my idea for a solo game is starting to come to life. Today has had me mainly set on getting the core sprites done for the game. The game is a 2D-Platformer in a wasteland city that has been took over by toxic gas all around. The player will have to collect items to advance to the next stage for each of the stages. After five stages you will fight a boss that boss will try and destroy the ground from underneath you.

The sprites I have been trying to get done so far is the collectible in each of the levels which I may still change if I want to put the collectibles on a rotation for some of the levels so its not just the same item over and over again. The first idea I had for the collectible was a toxic cannister which looks like this:


I am still indecisive on the final design for this and especially if I want multiple collectibles that you can get throughout the game.

The next sprite that I will be working on will be the player sprite which is becoming a issue to me because I want the general outcome of the game to look arcade like or pixel art which when I decide will change what sprites and backgrounds I have done already because if I go for the pixel art type of style then I want everything more square. However my mind is little more towards pixel art because I haven't really messed around with making a game that has a pixel art style.

I am happy with the type of game because the majority of games I have done so far have mainly been more up to date like horror and generic fighting games so it is going to be nice to have so form of old school style games in my portfolio as well.

Updates are coming soon including more sneak peeks at sprites and the level designs.

Sculpting a Character in Mudbox

So today I have been using Mudbox to sculpt a character. The character itself is a turtle with its shell on. So to start off I decided to work on his skin first and within this I was using two main tools the first being the imprint tool and the second being the smooth tool. I started off with a stamp that comes with Mudbox and I would just stamp the area I needed to give it a bumpy area on the skin. I would then smooth off the more harsh areas so it doesn't have any major jagged lines on it. After doing this for a while I started to notice that it was giving off quite a stone texture to the skin which I started to like after a while. However when it came to the feet I changed it up a little as I smoothed the toes a lot more than the other parts of the body which makes them stand out more and when it comes to texturing this guy I can add more detail to it by changing some of the colours around. Next I started on sculpting on the shell which I made look very unique as I made some v...

The 12 Principles of Animation

1: Squash and Stretch - this is how rigid or soft and object is. So an object will never just take one size so if you drop a ball from a height when it hits the floor it get squashed down and stretch out the sides of it. 2: Anticipation - An action that tells the viewer what will be happening next. So if someone is shooting a gun the anticipation of the person squeezing the trigger of the gun tells you that they are going to shoot it before the animation is even there. 3: Staging - Presenting your idea so it makes sense. This could be just how the area around the objects so in the film Monster House every house has either a picket fence or a wall however the monster house itself has no wall or fence which gives it a sort of feeling of dread and then house looking all dark. 4: Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose animating - Straight ahead animation is the process of animating each frame in order. Then you have pose to pose which is where you draw three key frames then go back to draw...

9 Week project Update 02/03/2017

So I have both my high poly and my low poly models finished and today I spent my morning UV unwrapping the sword in which I have had a few issues especially with some of the poly because they are in awkward on the model so trying to stitch them up so it comes out right has taken more time than expected. This is the UV mid way through unwrapping the model:   This is the UV finished: Next week I need to have the high poly baked onto the low poly and hopefully will move onto texturing the model. Next part I did was to UV unwrap the sheathe for the dagger which was a lot more simple and a lot easier to do after finishing the dagger UV.
