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.

Synoptic Project So far Personal & Group

So this post is just an update on the Synoptic Project so far as of right now we are onto week three of the synoptic project and so far the project that I am working is one of the ones I voted for when we were choosing which of the projects we were going to do. So for my job role in the project I am a 3d Modeler and so far I have been working on models that can be placed around the environment to fill up the environment so that it doesn't look empty when you are walking around the environment. So far I am enjoying the project and so far I am getting on pretty well with the task I have been given however it doesn't really have that much to it as I was just told to make some models to place in the environment so even though I know how the project needs to look and the theme of the project it is still quite hard to get the right type of models to go inside the environment. I have managed the work pretty efficiently so I am never left with nothing to do I have made sure that I ...

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...

New Model/Concept Art [Loki's Helmet]

So this is my next planned model once I get both Doomhammer and Mjólnir finished and textured. So this piece being from the Marvel Cinematic Universe I need to get it to look very nice proportion wise. The helmet itself I think is going to be very tricky due to the amount of overlapping layers and as well as some unusual features. Those being the horns on the helmet which I think the only hard part for those is when they will curl back in towards the helmet. In this version of the helmet I will be adding a little something from the comics and that being a blue gem that in the comes he always had in his crown. I drew both a front facing and a side view for a all round basic look at the helmet in which it will help me make it easier to get the shape done correctly. I would be doing the back of the helmet however with it being very plain just from the side and the front view will suffice for what I need to get this helmet modeled correctly. After all of the modeling I will need to...
