Today’s lesson was an introduction for the assignment 1, where everyone will work individually. The assignment is to create a graphical mode of an existing game, and the game I chose from last week’s task was Flappy Bird. As far as I have come I have only done research about the similar games to get some inspiration.
I analyzed the Flappy Bird Style game, I will re-skin the four sprites (images below). My plan so far is to re-skin the 'Flappy Bird' game into a Christmas theme. The ground and background will have a cold wintery (such as snow) feeling with a dark/night background . The background will be trees and mountains in different layers. The canvas will have a bold font with either snow on top of the texts or Christmas lights wrapped around the texts. I'm not sure about the sprite yet, but it might be a reindeer. I will add more detail into the game for sure.

Since I want a parallax scrolling background I did a deeper research. I looked into GIFs and parallax backgrounds examples. Creating a scrolling background seems a bit difficult but I will look into Unity tutorials. I want the game to be as smooth as possible, so I will mainly focus on the background a bit more. I also looked into winter colour schemes for the 2D scrolling game.
To summarize my plan for the 'Flappy Bird' game so far. I will import changes and replace the 4 sprites with a christmas theme. The background will be a dark winter using the colour schemes (below). Including mountains and trees which will be a parlalax scrolling game and the ground will be snow. The font will be bold with either snow or lights wrapped around the text. And, the character sprite will possibly be a reindeer.
