Spirit Boom Title Screen

Last week I worked on the title screen, the logo, combat UI and some more characters for the game.
Here is a video of the title screen being made.

The logo.

The Title screen with UI.

Combat UI.

And some more characters.

And an update on the village. It’s scaled down to about half size for the blog, but it’s still pretty big.

Spirit Boom, more houses.

Here are some videos and pictures showing my progress this week.

This is a zoomed out view of the village you start the game in. Still a work in progress.

A close up of the well.

And the shaman’s hut fire animation.

 

Big Game Project, Spirit Boom

This week I’ve been working on style guides for our game called Spirit boom. Up until now i did not know that simply filming my work would be enough, but i have been told that it is. So from now on I will mostly post speed paint videos of my work for this game.
after all a picture says more than a thousand words, and , this video has 8820 frames so, I guess that’s more than 8 million words… or maybe not its just […]

Board Game Analysis – Citadels

Board Game Analysis – Citadels

This is my analysis of the board game Citadels.
In this game the player hires different characters each round to help them build a city and collect gold. The characters have different ability’s and they represent different colors and they have a number from one to nine. Each round, every player secretly chooses a character that they think will benefit them. When someone builds their eight district the game ends and the player with the highest score by then wins.

Menu Background

So far this week I’ve been finishing the main menu background. I think it turned out good, except I didn’t have time to add more playground things like a swing or some scattered toys. I decided to cut that to save time. But I still think the background works just fine.
Here it is without the menu buttons.

I am rather pleased with the result, I didn’t use any strange techniques or anything weird. It’s all done with a couple of […]

Dirt sprites, UI and menu background.

This week I’ve been working on some dirt sprites, the UI and the main menu background.
The dirt sprites are very simple transparent layers with some dirt and mud added. The game will then just lay that over the sprites when you get muddy to illustrate that you actually are. I just used some preset brushes in Photoshop to make the dirt, nothing fancy, only took about one hour to make all the sprites. I made three different dirt levels in […]

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 […]

Playground Panic map and sprites

This week I’ve been mostly working on the map background for the game. I also made a sprite for the male player character and a quick placeholder one for the basic enemy. This is the entire map as it is right now.
although not finished, it’s good enough for the alpha. I will add more stuff to it later, like some swings, more details like muddy footsteps and maybe some scattered toys. to make it look like a kindergarten […]
