Maybe im online :)


Hello!

Welcome to my progress thread. Ill try too keep updating this but we will see how this will turn out.
Image
I took game invaders because I used them for a school project aswell so I got a bit attached to it.. Ill do some research first about game invaders then ill continue with a bit of the plot. later on ill start with some scetches and art. From then on I will start with the animation. (sounds, song , storyboard ect.)

RESEARCH,
Space Invaders is a two-dimensional fixed shooter game in which the player controls a laser cannon by moving it horizontally across the bottom of the screen and firing at descending aliens.
So it would be logic to replace the cannon with a stickfigure.
The game says the player needs to kill all the 5 rows of aliens. What I want to do is giving it a little more modern feel to it by not making it twodimensional but by keeping the aliens in there.

Story/Plot,
This animation will follow Reed (other word for cannon) . Aliens Invade earth and Reed is earth's only hope. Reed will be send out into the battlefield with his gear and from there on he will manage to get himself into the main spaceship and destroy it for inside out. Lateron we will see what will happen... The Image you see will be the animation quality.

Specs.
Canvas : 750 x 400 (Hot sexy HDish)
Fps : 24
Frames : at least 2880 (Thats 2 minutes)

Optinal songs,

So you're not going to not make a two-dimensional tribute, ok, go for it.
(also remember that more invaders you destroy, more the remaining invaders become faster, but i think you already know that)
