Alright, it was a productive month, compared to the recent ones, and I can tell one thing: even though when you are working on something that you love, sometimes things get boring or at least painfull to start, and that's the key, I guess, you just need to start, after a few minutes your brain accepts the task and start working as it should. That's the piece of advice for today. But anyways, lets get into the interesting part. THE GAME.

Finally I've managed to force me into learn what I thought it would be much harder to do, character design and animations, and you know, it is hard but for me it's being really rewarding. Well, it's not my first attempt of doing some pixel art animation but at least a complete set of animations for a character that i designed my self, yeah, it's being a fantastic journey.

So, from the last post I had made some character designs silluetes, and two of them got my attention:

They seemed to have a cool and design something that differentiated from the other ones, giving that idea of a not generic character, and after some work, like minor adjustments for coloring, I decided to go with the second one and here's the result:



Again, not bad for my first attempt, and after trying it in the game I've noticed some things, the first design had some problems, the leg was too thin (which in some places in the game caused some confusion about the background the character and other elements), i wanted the sword to be in his back, not in his hand or his belt. Finally I've ended up with these colors, but something still wasn't feeling right for me, after some try and errors, I noticed something, the internal elements, his armour and clothes were too complicated for such a small character, tried to simplify thinhs a bit more and after some work, I did it, ended up with a good design, something that resembled the old one? Yes, but at least I had something that I can show and release with the game, something exclusive for the project. And here's the result:

It will still change? Yes, of course, but I'll leave that for another post. Coming next: ANIMATIONS.
