Playground Panic Sprites

Last week I managed to catch a stupid cold, which resulted in me not producing anything for almost the entire week. And that delayed this blog post severely to. Nevertheless I managed to get some work done over the weekend.

I made the sprites for the female player character, the kids on tricycle, the fast moving kid and the slow moving kid. I also established the art style that the rest of the sprites will have.

I did some testing by placing the sprites on the background map and ended up with this pretty clear, not to detailed and not to complicated style that I think looks good on the background of the game. The subtle black outlining made them much clearer to the eye so they wont blend in with the background.

The slow moving kid has a garbage can lid as a shield to illustrate that he can take a few more sponges than the fast moving kid without the shield, however the fast one will be harder to hit instead. The kids on tricycle is pretty straightforward, two kids teamed up on a tricycle to get both speed and firepower, or maybe mud throwing power. and last but not least the female player character is pretty straightforward to, nothing fancy.

I will go back and quickly fix the male version a little to get him in the same style. I will also make transparent dirt layers for all the sprites that will be used in game to show if a kid is all dirty and mean, or nice and clean. and it will also show if the player is starting to get too dirty. I think they will look really neat when they are animated too.

This is all i got this week and i hope to get back on track right away.
