When An Important Character Is Presented In The Game, A "Splash Screen" Of That Character Will Be Shown

When an important character is presented in the game, a "Splash Screen" of that character will be shown to the player.

I got the idea of using "Splash Screens" from comic books. Sometimes in comics, characters are presented with a splash page.

This right here is a Splash Screen of Save Cat.

(damn. it's thursday already)

Super late today. Oopsie.

I've been working on a redesign for Beazley since I considered that the original design wasn't "friendly" enough. The other two bodies in the pic are some ideas I scrapped cause I thought they were overcomplicating the design. I also felt like it made Beazley look "combat oriented" and that's a big no-no. He would be the last person to ever get physical (not even last, he would just never do that).

I've decided to give him a "bomberman-esque" type design to keep it simple, made his eyes a bit more cartoony (the original ones felt kinda threatening), and made his feet look like half hearts.

Hopefully I'll finish the modelsheet for next week's update.

Any and all feedback is welcome!!

Two shots from the game's beginning "cutscene".

both depict Beazley and Friendship travelling through space and arriving on earth.

Sorry for not posting any update yesterday. I won't be able to focus on any other stuff that isn't college related for 2 weeks. I'm trying to make this in 3D on Blender.

Update about Updates

So the 3D thing that I was doing for college is finished. Take a look:

It's not perfect, it kinda looks like a messed up homemade flan, but I'm happy with it. I also did other stuff and I hope I get a good grade out of it.

Updates on Hello World will continue, of course. The problem is that being consistent with it won't be easy since college takes up most of my attention.

For Advaced Development Class they got me doing a document about a game idea that I'll have to submit next week. And then I'll have to turn that into a working prototype for the final.

Here's a little spaceship sprite that I made for it:

I'll keep you updated on it aswell. Might even put it on my itchio page if it ends up being kinda playable.

Honestly, for the time being, my performance in college this year hasn't been half bad. I haven't crash and burn yet. That has to mean something.

Also have been doing a little bit of yoga each night. Just wanted to let you know.

That's it for now. I'll try having something ready for next wednesday. See you next time!

Here are some doodles of the characters you'll interact with in Hello World's first zone: Ashdopel Town!
