Week of March 3-6

This week my team and I brainstormed new ways to make the game more interesting. One thing that I figured I could do was create some more enemies for the game. I came up with a few concepts and animated some old designs.

Numbers and Quantity- When animating characters, I must pay attention to frame rate. Frame rate (FPS) in pixel art animation is all about how many frames (or pictures) show up every second to create movement. A higher FPS, like 60, makes animations super smooth, while a lower FPS, like 12 or 24, gives it a classic retro feel. Since pixel art moves in tiny steps, if a character needs to move 32 pixels in 1 second at 16 FPS, it moves 2 pixels per frame to keep things looking nice and steady.

Probability- In games, the more variety of characters, animations, and enviornments make to play more interesting. By creating more characters for our game, I am making the probability for reused characters less. Therefore, making the game more fun.
