2D isometric character design


How can I create an character in 2D isometric art style?

research

Like the most researches I do I start with Available product analysis. I like this method cause it gives me an overview of the already existing products. It also give me some inspiration. I’ve searched for character art in 2D isometric style.


I came across a couple of samples. And with the knowledge from the previous weak I’ve started creating my own character. I did adjust the grid size on my view though, cause I needed more details in my character. In the research of last week I found out that creating rounded objects were difficult that why I decided to make a blocky character because of the details.

Conclusion:

I’ve created a character which suits our design and theme. The character can be seen in the image above. I was planning to upgrade the character design to a more rounded form. But I kind of like this style. So I will discuss this with the group. And if they agree we can keep this blocky character style.

Designing the homescreen

How can I make a good appealing and clear home screen for our game? Research: I started with  Available product analysis   I downloaded a couple of trending games from the Google Play Store. And did some research on how they created these home screens. I noticed that all the games have first a splash screen of their logo, or the company logo. And afterwards they show a loading screen. When the game is loaded we can see a home screen. The most games have a Play button and a settings button. Allot of stuff is hided behind the settings button.  I also noticed a theme music on most of the home screens. A lot of these games also have some kind of a connect to Facebook button. What also is worth mentioning is that all of these home screen fit in the main style of the game. I then did  Literature study  and came across a website in which they explain about different phone screen ratios. And why it’s important to keep in mind these different ratios. They also explain on how to do this.
