dåne-spaceinvaders

As I got space invaders I suggested game for this brief I thought it worked really quite well because it's eradicating something that you don't want. In a modern like way since this is made the late 70s, And the world was focused on this new thing exploring space. This game would work really quite nice to explore language and re-learning some bits and re-learning how it is to forget a language and remember a language. As this is an 8-bit game it's really quite pixelated And I didn't want to just copy the game fully even though it's going to be referenced highly but in Norwegian and slightly redesigning the characters but I want to keep it as simple and similar as the original to keep the feeling in the nostalgia for people that played this growing up.

I didn't do much sketching since space invaders such a rigid game I wanted to keep it quite simple and one column on the side of it. I decided to reference Star Wars and the intro sequence with the text in it rolling back but not into the distance but just scrolling through. As it's also space-themed but also nostalgic. The scented text is to reference the symmetry of the game. the text that is there is all facts about saving a language and what you can do to save a language and not forget it. Every screen has some sort of language-based facts along with it.

I started creating grids to create the shapes And I came up with this quite simple grid this 5 by 9 grid but everything had to fit in on. I cleaned up some of the shapes I made them into funky little monsters more than purely space themed items. But I did this quite quickly so it just is what it is. I spent most of my time animating it and getting it to somewhat resemble the classic. What I should have done is probably to have the text with all the information be after you've won the game. So that you've earned your word but I feel like people would possibly give up if they can't win over either the bot or someone else so I think it's more believable this way and you can't really focus on the text on the side whilst you play because that is going to scroll through throughout the entire game and continue on after. So you'd be able to read it after you've played but people around you could also see it and you also have would have to log into it to get the word you can't just write it in it has to be registered through the app so it shouldn't be an issue with people “cheating“.
