Blu Crusader - Flash Game

Blu Crusader

So we finally made it to the end we did a few tweaks to it and sorted out the bugs but overall it was a success. We named it Blu Crusader we had a lot of obstacles but we came through in the end.

Thanks to the Team - Dau, Robert, Aaron and Caroline ^_^

After doing some research on Star Screens from different games such as Bomberman and Sonic the hedgehog i saw how the creators used a Font design that would stick out. So i looked at how i should make the Font stick out i went through different Font Websites such as DAFONT.com and 1001FREEFONTS.com then i came across a called "Earwig Factory" which would later become our main font for the Interface and which i used for Energy drink name..

 

Later did some changes to the interface making it look like our Super Hero is going to save the people from the burning city.

So i took out the rainbow gave the super hero his trusty Boom Pow also giving him his logo on his back.

Heres Prototype interface. We are still working on a title any ideas??? ^_^

The Victims would come out of the windows waving their arms and holding a Help sign.

The designs were created by Caroline.

Three important steps of the windows sprite sheet animation:

1. Before explosion
2. Window is broken. Smoke comes out.
3. Building continues to smoke.

We thought about having three levels to the game the 1st would be in China Town the 2nd would be the City and 3rd would b the Suburb. An example of what they might look like.

The highlighted parts (in red) or the windows will be the areas where the people will pop out and require you to save them.

note: notice all the area are 1st floor or higher, which means the super man will need to use more energy drink in order to reach up there, this will be done by holding down the button for longer.

The character cannot go beyond the pillar/archway which is slightly faded.

After getting feedback, we have decided to change the perspective of the game. It is not so much top down view now but more from jus behind the super hero, this view enables the player to see more of what is happening in the game. As you can see the character goes smaller as he goes further ahead, thus giving the illusion of dimension.

Trying to find the right style:

Here are some slightly different variations of styles to use in flash.

FIG1 is done entirely in Photoshop then transferred into flash.

FIG2 has the wall from Photoshop and window from flash.

FIG3 shows the difference/contrast of 2 different walls when transferred to Flash.

FIG4 has a more comic/cartoon feel to it, the other 1's has a more realistic feel to it.

A top down platform game was the 1st idea we came up with This is how it would look.
