Character Colors

     
     I have chosen a mixture of black, dark green, and dark purple colors for my character. Steward describes the color green as "envy," purple as "luxury," and black as "mystery, evil, or grief." All of those descriptions match my character and the way he should portray himself to the player. He is not meant to be a 'good guy,' so using these types of colors should help him stray away from that. 

Game Environment Colors


     I have chosen these colors as the game environment should be portrayed as musty and dark. The brighter yellow was only included as it would be the only light source in the game. The other darker colors would be used for background, foreground, and many other objects within the game. This game is not meant to be happy or joyful, as you are playing as the villain.

Shape and Scale

Character      Snake boi (name TBD) will be a cartoony-sprite based character. It is hard to use the 'head' method on a non-humanoid character, but if I were to use it he would be able to fit about 11ish heads throughout his body. Because he has a snake figure, it is very simple to scale his shape and size.            The shape of this character will simply be a bendy line with arms between his head and the middle of his body. He will sometimes be wearing a hoodie-type piece of clothing over his head. I'm also considering adding something decorative to his tail, but I'm not sure yet. Environment      The shapes contained background will be mostly rectangle based to be used for buildings and windows for the buildings. The character will be able to fit through tight spaces, so the scale of the buildings and levels need to follow the scale of the character. Scaling the environment too big or too small could ...

Diagetic    When the button is pushed, it turns green and plays a sound. This is an example of a diagetic element because it is in the game world and is giving information back to the player. Meta    When the player is infected by a spider, an overlay of 'infectiousness' appears on the screen. The more infected you are, the harsher the overlay is. This is an example of meta because your character doesn't actually see this, but is part of the game world to show you, the player, that you are being infected. Non-Diagetic    Lost health is shown by the health circle in the bottom left of the UI. The more infected you are, the more the circle is blacked out. This is an example of Non-Diagetic because it isn't in the game world and the player can't see it. This is just for the player to know how much health they have left. Spatial    The arrow is pointing to where your character needs to go, it's not part of the ga...

Respecting Character

       Too many modern games fail to create real depth in their characters and often create a character that has already been made before, even if the art is a bit different. There are many stories of a character whose main purpose in life is saving a "damsel in distress" or simple revenge. Of course, there are some games that take these stereotypical characters with stories and turn them into something else, but they are few and far between. What games are missing right now are brand new stories that have not been traveled before? These types of stories are hard to create as there is rarely any basis for them and will require the writer to make the story from scratch. One such game is This Is the Police .  The Physical Character        The game starts off with the mayor telling Police Chief Jack Boyd that his son was looking for a spot in the government and that he thought Police Chief would be a great spot for him. Boyd disagr...
