I'd like to ideally work alongside the jayisgames.com competition (link further down on page), in which the idea is to make a flash game with the rough theme of an 'upgrade'. Of course if it's preferrable to keep the theme of a sustainable environment, that's also workable into my idea.
The character above is the protagonist for my game.. at the moment I've based him quite clearly around Nintendo's Wario as a homage to his 2d platformers, as I want to have quite similar 2d sidescrolling gameplay playing as an anti-hero, very much like in his games. However, if the design is deigned too similar, changes can be made in colour scheme etc.
The idea for my game is a comedy one: evil cats are dumping waste in the rivers and therefore polluting the environment (linking to the idea of a sustainable environment). Enter Benio, champion cat-fighter, to save the day in a side scrolling beat em up where the evil cats are gonna get punished. These cats become progressively harder, until on the final level you're expected to take down a lion or a tiger (haven't decided which, perhaps both). These cats are therefore upgraded over the corurse of the game, tying to that competition theme. However, Benio will also receive upgrades in his arsenal of hand-to-hand moves, eventually getting a motorcycle to use in his attacks, so he's is also upgraded to fight the rising threat. He fights the cats to protect the environment! I think it could make for a popular flash game with its sense of humour, so it would be aimed at an online audience. There would be a fairly small amount of blood to appeal to masses. For today, I'm going to make some more sketches of him and the levels he must traverse, and sketch some bosses, before pitching the idea tomorrow.
