Choose a character: Genre: 2D Game

Choose main action key frames

Write down the main actions for your character. For example we will look at how Kyle Smith developed his character for the game Kaiju Beat.

These were his ideas but you may have some different ideas for how your character moves, attacks, sends spells, dies, is revived etc.

Recommendation for your Concept:

1. Range Atack

2. Heavy Attack

3. Damage or Death

Head Butt Attack 

1. Normal 

2. Head whip back 

3. Head down bent at waist smack

Front Punch Attack

1. Normal

2. Wind Up

3. Front Punch

Heavy Attack (Spore Cloud)

1. Normal

2. Jump up with holding breath cheeks big

3. Land, Squash, Explode cloud of spores

Ideate and Rig only for those actions you predetermine.

Your drawings should show the squash and stretch, emotion, eye movement, the special effects and motion lines.

Of course, you will not all be doing mushrooms attacking a city. Your character will have 3 actions that convey who they are, how they move and behave. Your character may be a robot, a toddler, a Mech, a monster, or a plant. You show me.
