Background-Sewer

I have created my second background for my game. It is for levels where Hal Chaser will be sneaking through the sewer.

I have used the smudge tool for this background as it creates a more musky setting. this is image was created in Photoshop like everything else as well as my first background.

Background- City

I am going to use the same image from my title screen to do the city background which will be the main part of the game.

this is the final image of the title screen animation, i may also use that animation in the game.

Update- Title Screen

I have started making a Title Screen for the game, it includes burning buildings which also include smoking.

I have created three seperate backgrounds which i will use to create an animation which i will also use this for the city background which will be the main part of the game.

What's Next

As i have created the main characters in the game, i will now start creating some movement sprites for these characters. I will then create images of the objects that will feature in the game so i will be able to know what the game will look like and how it will work.

Sergeant Greg James

I have created a first draft of Hal Chaser;s main enemy Sergeant Greg James. I have used Photoshop which i used for Fat Tony and Hal Chaser.

I used photshop to create sergeant greg james, i would prefere to put a hat on him but i can't without him looking weird

Fat Tony- First Draft

This is the first draft of the mafia boss Fat Tony. I created this image using Photoshop like the first draft of Hal Chaser.

The first image shows the basic outline of Fat Tony, the second image shows him with colour. I plan to edit this picture show he doesn't have such a box head, as well, I will make him fatter to suit his name.

First Draft- Hal Chaser

This is the first draft of Hal Chaser which i created in Photoshop. I have used layers so it will be easier to edit the image if needs be and I will be able to improve on the image as well.

This is the first draft of the main character Hal Chaser, the first image shows the basic outline of the character. The second image is the first draft of Hal Chaser with colour to show what he may look like in the game. I plan to use this draft as the base element of the character for when I create a sprite for the character.

Game Proposal

My game will be similar to classic platformer games like Super Mario which will have the player controlling the main character while they travel through the levels in the game.

The game will be a fantasy violence which will be completely fictional with the characters, locations ad events not representing anything or anyone. the game will include collectible items that will help the player progress through the level, e.g. keycards, coins. The collectibles will help the player to complete the game to 100% completion.

The game will be for players of 12+ as there will be some violence but will not contain violence of a gorish nature. Even though the game will not contain gore some scenes still may be unsuitable for younger players.

The main goal in the game is to take over the city for the mafia boss called Fat Tony. You will have to avoid a perticular policeman called Sergeant Greg James who has been chasing Hal Chaser (main character) for 20 years when he robbed a bank on his own with no civilian deaths or evidence. There will be a twist at the end of the game.

Character:

His biggest accomplishment has been a bank robbery where he robbed the bank without civilian casulities and with no evidence to suspect him of the robbery. He wears a suit with trainers.
Sergeant Greg James- The main enemy of Hal Chaser who has suspected him of the robbey for 20 years and has trying to take him down since then. This has stopped Greg from being promoted and having been suspended numerous times for mental reasons.
Fat Tony- Mafia boss who wants to take control of the city. He has 50 years of organised crime under his belt with him being the boss for 25 years, hired Hal Chaser when he robbed a bank without getting caught.
