More concepts (ideas/planning)

Some more concept images, walk cycle, demo and bio ideas.

New game idea; Kart Game!


Character and Game ideas

Character needs:
  • Cool
  • Heroic
  • Easy to relate to for the audience
  • Shows some emotion, is quiet (this is so imagination can fill in the gaps)
  • Imagination goes further than telling the player how to feel, subtly suggest character points but if player comes up with ideas in their head that they feel about the character this is good for feeling attached to it and also feeling more like they are the character they are playing as.
  • Loan ranger, independent.
  • Character development is also important for good story telling.
  • After taking all of this into account, he still needs to be cartoony.
  • Having a brand new game for a franchise is a great way to introduce a brand new character.
  • Hes a good guy, cheerful, jolly, laid back and nice but when he needs to destroy evil he can get angry (key aspect of a hero).
Game Style:
  • 3rd person?
  • Shooter?
  • Action/Adventure
  • Disney aiming at a slightly older market than usual for this, also like Epic Mickey (recent Wii game).
  • Some shooting killing but should not be graphic
  • Possibly re-think game type completely, just exploration? Racing?


Attributes:
  • Punk
  • Surfer
  • Tall
  • V-shape
  • Lanky yet fit and well built
  • Big shoulders
  • Big muscle and well defined. But not too much, still needs to be believable
  • Big cartoon style limbs, hands, feet and joints.
  • White skin (feathers)
  • Orange bill/beak and feet/legs.
  • Some muscle detail but not too much, still needs to look like a simple cartoon character, no proper details such as belly button and individual teeth.
I have chose thing character (look/personality) because I think he would fit into the Disney and Duck Tales world very well, and would make a great protagonist for a game.
Action/Adventure games, such as fps games usually have a young well built man as the hero or group of heroes, for example, Halo, Gears of war, Uncharted, Killzone, Tekken, Enslaved.

Concept:
A character that would fit into the Duck Tales universe but would be worth having, bring the things to the table (look, personality), perhaps he is another uncle of Hui, Dui and Lui.
Donald's long lost brother?
Disney type character but also my own style, he is slightly more human like and detailed than you normal animal Disney character this is because he is aimed at young teens rather than young children like the others.
