Doomsday and Counting


I'm really please that this game is finally underway after several years of thinking about what I wanted to do with it. Pixel Game Maker seemed the right choice when it came along, although I had considered Unity originally. I've decided to work on the episode Doomsday and Counting first as I have many of the graphic resources already done from the Bionic Tutorial. 

The graphics are interesting. This game was originally supposed to be hand drawn in a retro style, but the challenge of creating sprites for 8 directions for each character on my own would have been quite time consuming, so I opted for low poly models in Blender posed and shot at different angles and cleaned up in Aseprite. Most of the background and environment tilesets are being done by hand as pixel art. Together they present an interesting look and feel, with a certain kind of charm. I'm also planning writing some music that approximates the jazzy feeling of the soundtrack from the old TV show. I've also made the decision to allow the player to choose whatever episode they want to play instead of making them go through it in linear fashion, making for a nice game for casual play.

This is going to be fun. I hope you enjoy following along.
