The hedgehog game!
That’s a link to my first game that I created for class. We had to make the “Catch the Clown” game and edit it to put our own spin on it. I cannot program for my life, even on really simplified programs such as Game Maker, so I concentrated on what I know—art.
That little ball of cuteness floating around is a hedgehog. I made him from scratch, pixel by pixel. And the grass. Not the bushes. I tried to make my own but they came out really messed up so I had to borrow from the internet somewhere.
I also wanted to concentrate on graphics because I wanted to make a point. I wanted to place emphasis on how graphics can make or break a game. Essentially, this game is the same as “Catch the Clown” but because of the art used it feels more approachable. It’s friendlier and more appealing than that ugly clown that floats around. The fact that I made it aside, I would rather play “The Garden Life” than “Catch the Clown” but it may be just me since I mentioned before that I am more inclined to aesthetics. I like pretty things! ^_^
