Level Design

Sketching my level helped me to visualise my game. I changed my idea slightly where I thought there could be NPCs saying mean things to the main character and each time the character walked past these NPCs, it would increase the hurt bar UI element at the top of the screen. Once the hurt bar reaches its full capacity, the game ends. I also wanted there to be NPCs that you could interact with that say kind things showing that the world can be cruel but that there are some people that are kind. The hearts are collectable items that decrease your hurt bar as they bring warmth and kindness.

I specifically wanted my logo to be an SG as these are my initials. Therefore I attempted to a few different designs until I found the one that I liked. For this post, I have put my logos on blackgrounds so that they are visible.

When creating this logo, I took into consideration my background and the type of style I wanted to go for.

When you see my logo from a different angle it looks as though a butterfly is flapping it's wings which I believe fits well with my background. I played around with the design of my previous...

Bootstrap Template

I decided to use a bootstrap template for my website as I thought this may have made elements faster to implement as the template would already be responsive.

The framework allows for rapid, responsive development that is consistent and well supported by the development and design community." His five reasons were, "Speed of Development, Responsiveness, Consistency, Customizable, Support" which I understand and agree with and therefore believe it is beneficial to use bootstrap in this project. This specific bootstrap template was similar to my mockup design and therefore by editing the code this template could look similar to what I had designed and invisioned.
