Task

REQUIREMENT:
Students given the task to create the prototype of their game. The prototype doesn’t need to have the final art asset, and the use of grey boxing is allowed. The focus here is to quickly test out the game mechanics and to troubleshoot any technical difficulties discovered during the development. The focus should be the MVP of your game.

This includes:

• Coding movements and actions
• Coding obstacles and enemies’ interactions
• Coding game levels (Logic of the game)

Process

Planning:

After Discuss with Ms. Mia, I decided to try to make some change about my game art. to make the character more interesting I planning to change all my game include scenery and game character all become pixel style. it will be a tough challenge for me due to I will be so far behind others that when others were working on how the game would run, I was still working on character design.

For all the character and animation all have been done in and app name Aseprite and then I transport all animation to png then transfer to unity.

Remake on Character, Animation & Scenery:

Main Scenery: SteelJack City:


Old Scene:

New Scene:

Reflections

Working on the early stages of my jetpack platformer game has been an inspiring creative journey. From the beginning, I aimed to design a fast-paced side-scroller with a strong visual identity like something very stylish, fun, and full of character. 

The ideation phase helped me define the tone of the game like a futuristic urban setting, a cool anti-hero with a jetpack, and robotic police units as obstacles. Using tools like Adobe Illustrator and Unity's Sprite Editor, I explored how character design, color palettes, and UI elements shape the player’s expectations before gameplay even begins. Although I haven’t reached the playable stage yet, building the visual assets and crafting a consistent theme is really challenging for me but it also taught me how important early design decisions are. 

Every character, font, and background element sets the tone. This phase reinforced the importance of visual storytelling and has motivated me to continue building a world that feels alive, stylish, and ready for action. Although I always having a lots of problem during the Unity's Sprite Editor part but really thanks for Ms. Mia patient teaching and solve my problem.
