Hi there!

I'm doing some researches and tests for a potential project of space adventure game, and I thought sharing it might bring useful feedbacks. I'm trying some changes in my usual style by the use of outlines. I'm generally not a huge fan, but I must admit that it's a real nice tool for readability. And that's a priority for a fast paced game. Enough words, pictures time!


My first test for a mars-like planet. It's a mockup.



My second test, this time with an earth like planet. I tried with and without outlines. My feeling is that outlines spoils it a bit, it looks more natural without them. But for the sake of consistency with the characters, it might be a good thing. Speaking of which:


The base character design. Boba Fett is a bonus. Also on top, icons for health, armour and shields. I made it with a separated gun from the model, it makes it easy to point it in the appropriate direction.


The run cycle.

Let's end this round with a few .gif of the current prototype in action:


Weaponless character got arms.


Look how cute he is with his little shotgun.


Big gun to test my code. It's so ridiculous I might actually add some guns that oversized in the actual game.

Next step will be making some textures to try to get a direction for interiors. Until then, I'd like to get any criticism, just tell me what you think, every advice and criticism is welcome.

Thanks!

Hey, this looks nice!

Thanks! Here is the new main screen, as you can see there are some improvement over the jam one: New title sprite, more colourful sky, clouds, better vines on the statue, roll-over orange on the statues, and slightly tweaked stuff here and there.

Really love those planets. Might have to do something similar one of those days

Maybe they don't grow beards? Or maybe the modern society beauty standards leads them to shave. Who knows?
