Balloon Map

So here's the current work up of the map. I added all the pictures I had of areas and of obstacles. Obviously this will change as we pick which environments and such that we want to work on for this game. But here's the basic look with the current information.

I was thinking about the backgrounds and adding some humor to them. For example, having the balloons in inappropriate places, like a dentists office. Or other places where people are more commonly scared than happy, which balloons imply. Just playing off the irony. Let me know what you all seriously think about this.

Ideas...

I thought of something, what if we had obstacles similar to the ones in Pinball. The kind that are round and project the ball away even when they barely touch them. I threw something together to give you a visual.

We don't have to use the poker idea, it was just the first thing that came to my mind.

Waterfight!

The Street View+

Now with people!

The Street View

I added the score but I haven't received the drawings of the balloons or people yet. Maybe those of you also drawing can take this image and add to it? let me know

First Design

It's really late... I'm so tired... -_- This is the best I can do without more time.

Protagonists?

Here's some scribbles of the game's "protagonists" Marie and I came up with after class this morning.

Introducing the Balloon Man and his sidekick, Floyd! Balloon Man flies around in his mighty hot air balloon, stealing stuff from gangsters or rich guys or whatever and delivering them to... I dunno, orphanages or something. Everyone loves Balloon Man, but in actuality he's pretty incompetent... Floyd is the one who does all the hard work. I'll post prettier pictures of these two later.

Oh, and here's some orphans (potential cargo recipients).

I'll let Marie describe how these super heroes and orphans have to do with the plot.

Landscape

so i been working on this, and think i got a desert horizontal landscape we can use for the one-pager on Thursday. I will be checking here later tonight to see if you all have any suggestions of changes to make. I was trying to go for something basic that gets the main idea across. hence the whirlwind, mountain and platform.
