In Continuation of Previous Blog - Nightfall: Bloodlust Unleashed - From Horror to Platformer Adventure
Hey there, fellow devs and gaming enthusiasts! Welcome back to my journey of transforming the 'trash' game into a thrilling adventure. In today's dev blog, we're diving into the exciting world of game asset creation.
The UI Makeover: From 'Trash' to 'Terrific'
If you've been following my previous blogs, you know that one of the major issues with my game was the User Interface (UI). I used free assets that didn't quite fit the vibe I wanted to create. So, what's a game developer to do? Craft my own, of course!
Designing Characters: The Pixel Art Way
To give this game the makeover it deserves, I've embarked on a character design journey. I'm using Photoshop, and I've chosen the enchanting realm of pixel art as my medium.
The characters I've set out to create include:
Vampire (Main Player): The suave vampire who's on a mission every night.
Small Kid (Food): The unsuspecting 'food' that the vampire must 'relocate.'
Knight: The mysterious knight patrolling the town.
Animation in the Pipeline
But I'm not stopping at static character designs. To make these characters truly come to life, I'm creating them in various positions to facilitate smooth animation. We're talking walking, running, and maybe even a bit of dancing - who knows?
A Sneak Peek: Old vs. New
Now, what's a dev blog without some visuals, right? Here's a sneak peek at what the characters used to look like compared to my newly designed ones.
What's Next?
With these freshly designed characters in hand, I'm ready to breathe new life into the game. Expect smoother gameplay, better aesthetics, and an overall enhanced gaming experience.
