Garden Getaway! In development (MY FIRST EVER GAME!)

Toonshack

Here is our game project GARDEN GETAWAY, I'm currently working on in collaboration with Wayback Gamer. Here is a concept sketch for the start up screen, a mock up of the game play and a concept of the game over screen.

Synopsis: A cheeky bird flies into an old ladies garden and steals all the bird seed and gets so rather fat. The bird must escape before he meets his end, at the hands of the angry old lady or the rather hungry cats.

We are not far from BETA testing, so if anyone would be interested in testing, please send me a message.

Game features:
1. Numerous levels (Garden/warehouse....)
2. Upgrades (Jetpacks, gliders and weapons. Purchased through points in store)
3. In app purchases
4. Amusing props (Funny Billboards and other background props)

For Game updates have a look at the Toon Shack Studios Facebook page

*All illustrations within these images/gameplay are still extremely rough and are not representative of the final standard; some are not even coloured.

Would love some feedback/suggestions on the basic look.

Like the look! It's very nice!

Hey @Toonshack‌,
Would like to give feedback but first just curious. Are the images you provided of the final images and game play that will be published or are they still being edited???

I think I know what you are aiming at and I agree.

The paper sketch actors seem like they are just placeholders, because everything else is colored on a computer, it looks a little bit as if you didn't have time to finish them.

Are you going to be coloring them as well? Is there a game mechanic around that?

Otherwise, like the look of it!

KillerPenguinStudios

Yep @pHghost‌, that is what I am aiming at. Also, one other thing is make sure the score stays in the score board image. In your screen shots the score is running off the image.

That I think is temporary, since it reads 0-9 in a sequence.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look guys. Yes this is temporary, still alot of editing to do. All the characters have yet to be coloured and everything that is coloured will be redone once programming is finally completed. Using the rough sketches to programme the game. Then once complete the final ones will be placed.

I like your style and would say your on the right path. In addition to coloring all the characters I would suggest doing something with the grass so that you don't have that sharp line. Keep it up

Toonshack

Thanks. Yeah I know what you mean. I still can't decide how the grass should look. I'm very much a character illustrator, so still trying to determine an overall style/theme. I was also thinking if houses, hills and random other objects in the back to add depth. It's my first game so it's all an enjoyable learning curve

Looking good so far.

Here is a concept sketch/animation for a new cat enemy within the game. The cat characters will become more interesting and difficult as the game progresses.
