Case 01 - Character and basic gameconcept

In case 01 we had to design and draw a character in Flash, ready to be animated. Also we kinda had to have a gameconcept.

I started with sketching various characters in Photoshop. Since I had no idea for what gamedesign I was going for I just drawed some few different characters, tho I kept the same style overall.

After some minor brainstorming I decided to go with the pirate(#5 in sketch). The gameconcept is at this very moment pretty simple, you play as the pirate that gotta save his dear parrot from the sneaky ninjas. Expect a more fleshed out gameconcept on a later date.

Then I continued in Flash, bringing over the pirate sketch and started drawing. I primarly used the Pen tool, Line tool and Fill tool/Bucket tool. And also Brush tool for certain details.

 

And that's how it turned out after some struggling with Flash. There'll probably be some retouching and redrawing before the final game, but this will do untill then.

And that's pretty much it for case 01, I think. Anyhow, I'm going to bed..
