Little Fields: Concept of Concept Art

So in anticipation of next semester I wanted to upload some of the concept art done by my lovely girlfriend. I had requested her to draw some pictures of what she pictured the characters and enemies as, even though none of the anything will probably resemble these drawings after the first week.

Good News Everyone!

Good News Everyone! Little Fields was picked up for Game Lab next semester! Basically what that means is I submitted a game pitch doc for a game to be made in next semester's Game Lab. Game Lab is the industry simulation course at UTD. So Little Fields was selected along with 11 other pitches to have a live pitch made. I made that pitch on last Friday and found out it was 1 of 5 selected to be made this Tuesday. Needless to say I was very happy about this and had a lot of positive response to my pitch. Here's a quick summary of the game:



"Little Fields is a third-person action-adventure platformer for children  with stealth and puzzle elements to be released for digital download on Steam and XBLA. Set in a mystical forest, the player controls Alex/Annie Fields, a 10 year old who has got lost and must find a way out of the woods. Aided by a mysterious gooey backpack and a small companion made of energy, the player must help Fields satisfy the demands of the Forest Guardian before exiting. To do so, Fields will have to traverse platforming areas and stealth levels, solve puzzles and riddles, and perform quick time events. During the course of the game, Fields will mature and learn the values of non-confrontation, selflessness, and compromise."

Hour Game Challenge: SUPERATTRACTIONSPACESURVIVAL

So I decided to challenge myself to make a game in an hour based off a title I got from the Video Game Name Generator (tons of fun to be had there). I ended up with something like Super Space Attraction Survival...something like that. Anyway here is the result...I suppose it could have been worse.
