Evaluation

For my project I have designed some characters to use for my platform game. First of all I have had to research some platform games to see what they are to get some ideas to create my own. Next I had to research different platform game characters to see what type of characters I could use for my platform game.

The final  character and platform game that I came up with is a princess warrior trying to dispose/get rid of her enemy- the  evil wizard(Waldo). Waldo is the character who can glitch to a different part of the game- only on the platform though to stop Bellatrix. Bellatrix however can jump on ice-cream and use her weapon/cape to capture her worst enemy.

The things that I found difficult with making the game was that not everything went the way that I wanted it to go. I kept on having difficulty putting each character onto the game. In the end it worked which I was very happy about. I enjoyed making the game. I think that my skills worked well. The skills from Adobe Illustrator when it came to creating a character.

There isn't a part of the game making that I didn't like. I liked it. It let me have fun with creating my own masterpiece that I enjoyed. It made me create what I wanted to create through a great type of media.

Overall I think that my game worked very well. I liked the colours that I used and the characters that I carefully thought about before I actually created them which I enjoyed very much.

If I was to do this project again The only thing that I would change is the character design because the drawings weren't very detailed. I could have made the drawings more detailed as I can draw. Also I have a drawing talent which lets me expand my character designs.

Main character for Game Design for 2/12/15

Today I have drawn my main character on adobe Illustrator using the paint tool and the shape tool. I think I could have drawn my main character better  with the software because I rushed at  drawing her at the last minute. The weapon that my main character is holding is a spear sword because it shows that she is getting ready to battle the evil wizard to claim the world for herself.  I only had time to computerise my main character because I was developing my baddie named Waldo. To improve on my drawing I would scan my drawing and then I would draw over my pencil drawing/sketches it looks more like the character. I have made my main character's hair blonde because I wanted her to look more like a princess. Her clothing indicates that she is a warrior which I am happy about. Also I would scan my drawing into the computer first because I would have had less wonky lines that I didn't need. If I was to draw my main character again I would free hand all of her with the pen/paint tool in Adobe Illustrator because in my opinion she looks a little odd with a shaped face and neck with free hand rest of the body which I could improve if I was to draw her again in the software.
