Designing the main character


Chalk gardens is an imaginative, atmospheric exploration game about dealing with life’s setbacks. You play as a child exploring the rooftops of a city while you’re helping your friend: the child’s favorite toy. Since you’re looking through the child’s eyes there will be a lot of chalky adventures coming your way.

After a lot of sketching we have chosen the design for our main character:

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

Today I tackled drawing different variations of facial expressions for one of the main characters in Eden. What do you think of it? :) Eden: https://gamejolt.com/games/Eden/592698
