Escape Ape (unofficial title)
I've been working on assets for a runner game intended for the mobile market. You might have seen some of the old sprites that I've posted here.
The previous themes never really worked in favor of our game mechanics or what we wanted to do, so we've ended up changing it every other month or so..
It started as a military themed game where you fought some kind of nazi-esque evil army.
Then it changed to a game where you play as a janitor being chased by some kind of bond villain.
After that we thought about making it into a super hero with a huge drill theme..
And now, we ended up with a monkey.. We're just thinking how to spin the story, either you're a space monkey crashing his ship on earth.
Or you're a monkey being experimented on by an evil scientist. Maybe even just a regular monkey escaping from zoo..
Visually this is the character that I've been the most satisfied with, it looks interesting and has more style than the previous ones.
There isn't really any rush to settle for a theme, but there is a lot of stuff that requires the theme to be set before I can work on it.
I have been making a lot of generic tiles and graphics so I'm sure that most of it will go into the game one way or another.
I'm posting here for feedback, since it feels like this could be the theme that sticks.
There are two version, the new one is slightly smaller.
The tail is a bit wonky, but it might look more natural in motion.
And I couldn't resist putting hats on him..
