I've been mulling over the prospect of putting together a game over the past month or so. I do this every once in a while. I ponder and consider and think and plan. Sometimes I actually do something about it.
Anyhow, I have this vision in my head for the game, how it will look and feel, ways to make each level feel unique yet still feel like a cohesive part of the game, etc.
So, a few days ago I did a couple sketches to start defining what the main player might look like.
I wanted a chubby, curly-headed, round-faced farmer type guy. This was my first pass:
I wasn't very happy with this one. He looks retarded, and of an undetermined gender. Also, his fingers are... wrong.
So, I swung around and made another pass. Here's the 2nd round:
I was much happier with this one. He looks confident, yet lovable. Cheerful, yet determined. Just the sort of character a game might need. I think I'll play around with him some more and see what comes out of it.
