Our guy is inside a log cabin in a remote place, a harsh winter is at bay(it even may be the Ice Age!). He struggles to find the resources he needs to survive(wood, food etc). Player will be able to walk around the cabin in a side scrolling manner and when they leave the cabin the journal pops up and will be "text based" after that, he will encounter random events that he can make choices that will effect his "loot" and survival chance. After a while things will have a sharp turn and it will become a "sad" story so a "heavier and darker" theme will fit better.
Thank you very much! It will be side scrolling but about the image; I just downloaded the free version of Aseprite and made it there so I won't be able save(export) it, I just took a screenshot to upload here. It's just a rough idea about what I need really. Size of the drawing it self is 20x60 pixels, canvas is 50x100. A more detailed and bigger size won't hurt and actually may be a better idea. I'll keep trying to create some more things(a more detailed version of this etc.) I can't wait to see what you(and I) will come up with!
Thank you so much! It's my first attempt and your kind words are definetly a booster to work harder.
About the states, idle, walking, going out and in from a door and just maybe getting into bed should be all I need. After all "The Guy" will spend so little time inside the house, and insides of the house will be the only visual aspects of the game that player will see. So I want to have that part a little detailed if possible.
There is not much of a rush really, I just want to attend to a local expo this winter and show the game to people there. The last submission date for the expo is November, I just want to be ready until then. The Expo won't take place until February but the submission form requires screenshots of the game so that's my only concern in terms of time.
Thank you for the suggestion! The only problem I have with this and all the other existing assets is that they are mostly based on combat styled characters, I am going for a "civilian" in a cold environment. I actually started considering drawing what I need myself since I wasn't able to find anything that suits my needs and the financial impossibility of paying someone.
There is my first attempt, I spent almost a full day on this and there are no animations yet but I will try to learn and make those myself too. I'd really like to hear what you think!
Edit: I'd still appreciate help of someone more capable and experienced than me.
