Here is my current version of the character for a pirate themed game. Idea is to have 4 moving directions for the character and here is the 1st version of head graphics (all directions intentionally face the player).

Any critics and feedback is welcome. It would be nice to find more personality for this character.

more details and shades needed.

    Nice:) Has lots of personality. The only criticism I have is maybe the wooden-leg and the shirt should have some shading (like the hat).
  • zplzpl Member Posts: 26
    Yeah, wooden leg and torso are still work in progress. Maybe i try some kind of coat.

    I'd be inclined to give him different facial expressions so he can react to different events in the game.

    thanks, i really appreciate any feedback and comments.

    i'll have more variety for a character. at least 2 different animations to each direction, depending how fast hero moves.

    here is the current version of menu style i've been doing lately.

    Hey.

    I have been thinking a simple game with "rolling ball in a maze" mechanics. Ball = pirate at the slippery deck of the ship.

    It would be nice to have some small puzzle elements included also.

    I've done simple z-depth system, basic mechanics with accelerometer control, basic level unlocking system, most graphic assets and menus so far.

    I'm a real newbie as a gamesalad developer, but i'm slowly getting there.

    I think the line where it is possible to turn back is crossed, and i hope to see something to be published.
