Sprite designs

Today I started the making images for my game.

This is my image for my penguin but I realised that for the movement I want to have in my game (rotation) it would look bad. So I decided to change the view of my game to birds eye.

 

These are the final images I came up with, being ariel veiw they look a lot better. Next I started work on the backgrounds, three of them, one for each level.

 

I decided I wanted a low opacity blue overlay over the top of the penguins instead of my first idea to keep them on the ice, so I made a version two of each background with the shape of the water in blue and where the ice is transparent, my plan was to add this into the file last to if you go off the ice the blue ontop makes it look like they're underwater. 

Finally I made my intro scene, game over screen, play and play again buttons and a three-stage health bar.

With all my resources made I could now start coding my game.
