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:

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)
