20mProject ThemingAmber Renton


The project is going to be themed around Norse Mythology! Here's what we need to think about next...



Art/Design

What will our art style be?

  • It needs to be easily replicated
  • It needs to be quick to create
  • It needs to be easily animated
  • It needs to be created with a software that's free for students

Ideas/Examples:


Who are our enemies?

  • There should be little to no animation required
  • They should be easily expandable (e.g. small balloons → large balloons, normal balloons → fortified balloons, regular balloons → camouflaged balloons, etc.)


Who are our good guys?

  • They should typically work off the same "base" (e.g. monkey, plant, tower, etc.) so that animations/art looks relatively similar
  • They should have simple animations
  • There should be room for them to have different abilities
  • An individual "tower type" should be upgradeable (we'll stick with a linear path of 2 upgrades each for scope reasons, and consider expanding later)

A lot of this will fall into place as the above is determined, but consider...

What will our atmosphere be?

  • More serious?
  • More adventurous?
  • More playful?
  • More chill?


What is the general sound of an enemy dying?

  • It should be "easy" to listen to (as it will be playing a LOT)
  • It should be relatively satisfying
