Assignment 2: Creating a Game

1.1 – Platform Game

Max

Main character, Max, created using Adobe Photoshop, with a canvas size of 32x32 pixels, and a transparent background.

File extension, when creating it was .PSD. But when I put it into GameMaker, I saved it as a .PNG, compressing the file size.

I named the file “Platform Max V3”. “Platform” so I knew which game the sprite was for. “Max” for the character, and “V3” for which version it is. In this case, the third.

Tools I used:

Eye dropper tool to select a colour from the canvas, to ensure I use the same colour on the
sprite.

Pen tool, to draw and fill the sprite.

Colour palette, to fine tune the colour I wish to use.

I created Max using 1 layer.



Enemies:

Enemies, created using Adobe Photoshop, with a canvas size of 32x32 pixels, and a transparent background.

I named the files “Platform Police 1/2/Thugs”. “Platform” so I knew which game the sprite was for,
“Police/Thugs” so I knew the type of enemy, and “1 or 2” for which Police enemy.

Tools I used:

Eye dropper tool to select a colour from the canvas, to ensure I use the same colour on the
