Midnight

She's really fucking awesome

And there's this moon that is also a clock?

Here is the live work in progress.

Next Steps

Overview

I want a very basic version of this to play. You should basically start at your home and run to the right. After going down a bit you'll discover a small horde of little somethings that respawn. They should drop gold coins or something when you kill them. I'm not sure how I want to do damage / death because I'm not sure I'd like to do it in a traditional way. But for now you should just get some negative feedback. Maybe the controler buzzes and your screen flashes a bit or something? Not quite sure.

Art

We're going to use this background for now

We'll need some kind of grass / block too, for now. Most if not all of the game will take place at night, so I'm thinking some rando fireflies too? This can really just be yellow dots that fade in and out, but I think it'll add a nice touch. Also some trees or something for the background maybe? We'll leave these for last.

This is very roughly the kind of the "feel" I'm going for.

Animation

For Midnight we'll need...

1. A jumping animation (this will really be 2 animations, one jumping into the air and the other landing)
2. An attack animation

We'll also need...

1. A Cat (her pet) and a running / trotting animation for him (do this last)
2. A basic enemy, and something for it to shoot

Summary

1. Nighttime grass tiles (static)
2. Maybe some trees for the background... maybe. (static)
3. Gold coin (static)
4. Fireflies (animated)
5. Simply enemy that shoots something (simple animation)
6. A kitteh. (animated)
