Different characters to be used in the game. Different angles of the character will have to be created based on the game play style.

BEAR ISSUE: Required a template for pixel art character creation due to revised level angle/style. Found this bear (below) and am going to inquire to the artist about using it as a template. character example URL: http://justingamedesign.tumblr.com/post/126461737802/check-out-this-8-direction-limited-frame-sprite

I messaged the author of the drawing saying: "Hello, I discovered your bear 8-directional gif on google and I was wondering if it would be possible to use it as a template for a character. I am a first year Computer Games Development student and have been tasked with making a short game with fellow students. If you would like to see a draft of the character produced from the template to see my interpretation of your design then you're more than welcome. I will not use my drawing or use yours in any way if this isn't okay. Thank you."

To which the author replied: "It depends on what you mean by “template.” If you’re just asking to edit the sprite and use it as your own, the please don’t. If you’re going to make your own sprite based on the poses in mine, that’s fine. You don’t have to send me a draft, but you can share your work if you want."

After using the template from the artist to base the poses of my character on, I have produced this 8 directional sprite to be used in the game. I have included the original image for referencing and to show that my drawings are different and not copies of the artist's original drawings.

After another reconsideration to the angle of the game, 8 directional movement is no longer required. The following positions are now in use: idle left fw walking left fw idle right fw walking right fw

Character requires jump. Adapted using a similar style to produce the following: jumping right fw jumping left fw
