More Development

I am starting to single out parts of the game and identify which parts are working as intended and what needs to be changed.

Project 2 Ideas

I was considering going with the emotion Rage, or perhaps Jealousy; which would allow for ties to the green eyed monster. If I was to do an experience, perhaps more of like driving, or being at a gig.

I'm still deciding for now.

Character Brainstorm

From Wall E and Eva, to spaceships, spiders and past droids from Star Wars; I generated a few starting points for a possible character. Considering visual feedback from upgrades, more than one may make it through to the final character.

 

Tracks are good for an all-terrain robot, although hover could allow for greater manoeuvrability at a cost of increased fuel use. I like the idea of a visual fuel level indicator on the robot itself.

The idea that the robot can see in all directions, walk in all directions and have it's arms retract became the spaceship like robot. This could make it's animating much easier. 

To his right is a robot with a swivel head which makes the ideal mounting point for his gun.

Game Concept Development

I have started trying to take the best elements of each of my 3 game ideas, and create a fun game with sustainability elements aimed at children aged 12 and under.

I will now develop and brainstorm my character to a more finalized point. Being fuel based, a robot is a must. But I may be able to have a bit more fun with this and stretch what is considered a robot. A possible lone cyborg (used to be human, but has had core of being replaced with machines as food supplies became extinct). 

Project 1 - Iterate (3 Atmospheric Clips)

Here are the links to my three iterations:

Circus - Happy Atmosphere
Focus on Dissolves, backed up with rhythm

Circus - Dramatic Atmosphere
Focus on Cross Cuts, backed up with Dissolves

Circus - Scary Atmosphere
Focus on Jump Cuts, backed up by rhythm

Although I say circus, I also imply sideshows, fairs, carnivals and clowns.
