(If Bad Y Hot!?) [https:\/\/ldj.am\/$281532] and yeah, I just love drawing hot people LMAO\n\nIt was a really fun process. I always wanted to make a game, but I never thought my art would be part of it I guess. I love creating all types of OCs and I draw them, I characterize them, I do everything, but I always saw myself as more of a concept artist. It felt unreal to see my art on the title screen once it was finally finished and it was a blast to actually draw all of the portraits. I was never confident in my art style, but it looked really nice with the aesthetic, I think. \n\n\nI worked hand in hand with our narrative designer and the whole group decided there should be 3 characters and a dog. The dog was the first to get designed ... unfortunately for her we immediately decided she should be ... well like this:\n\n![Precious Design.png](\/\/\/raw\/f75\/44\/z\/4d436.png)\n\nYeah that's what I think Chihuahuas look like. Anyways, we decided she needed to be completely unhinged and I think people appreciated that. Also, I wrote the capitalism is a mistake line xoxoxo.\n\n\n\nThe next design was of Gertrude. @Potatomika wanted an inventor like character and it didn't take me too long to decide on her design. Honestly she kinda provided me with descriptions for most character, but I did my own thing and only took some suggestions (lol). @PotatoMika was firm in wanting her to have an old lady name despite being hot and so Gertrude was born:\n\n![Gertrude Design.png](\/\/\/raw\/f75\/44\/z\/4d43f.png)\n\nShe's definitely the most competent and she's a hard working gal. She doesn't take any crap from people though!\n\n\n\nThen came \"the muscle\". I had previously joked with our Programmer @Trabasura that we should have a character named Bart (Trab backwards) in our game and he requested that this be him. I honestly just made him 1000x cooler than Trab and called it a day. Here he is:\n\n![Bart Design.png](\/\/\/raw\/f75\/44\/z\/4d444.png)\n\nHis clothing and accessories were suggestions from other team members really. He's more stoic and a little less expressive (unlike Trab).\n\n\n\nNow the main character ... I HAD FULL CONTROL OVER HIM LET ME TELL YOU LMAO. He is my favorite, I love him, I stan him, he's great. @PotatoMika wanted him to wear a suit, but I wanted him to wear a durag and so ... boom he's wearing both. Who would make that fashion statement you ask?? Only Lightskins. Not Sorry. We immediately made him a player and he's certainly the most charming as the leader of their group. I absolutely adore him and he ended up with the name Yug Dab (Bad Guy) thanks to a suggestion from a friend:\n\n![Yug Dab Design.png](\/\/\/raw\/f75\/44\/z\/4d447.png)\n\nThe group decided he needed to be a short king and I gave it to em! \n\n\nIt was a really nice experience and I even helped some of the dialogue (I forced a Deez Nuts joke in the game you're welcome). I definitely would want to make another game after this, it was great! \n\nPlay and Rate our Game!!: \n\nhttps:\/\/ldj.am\/$281532\nhttps:\/\/trabasura.itch.io\/ibyh","comments":4,"comments-timestamp":"2022-04-07T04:35:20Z","created":"2022-04-07T01:14:24Z","files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"id":291306,"love":5,"love-timestamp":"2022-04-07T02:02:02Z","meta":[],"modified":"2022-04-07T04:35:20Z","name":"Designing Hot People","node-timestamp":"2022-04-07T01:49:30Z","parent":281532,"parents":[1,5,9,276397,281532],"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/50\/ibyh\/designing-hot-people","published":"2022-04-07T01:46:20Z","scope":"public","slug":"designing-hot-people","subsubtype":"","subtype":"","type":"post","version":902958},"node_metadata":{"n_key":"291306","n_urlkey":"391094","n_parent":"281532","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/50\/ibyh\/designing-hot-people","n_slug":"designing-hot-people","n_type":"post","n_subtype":"","n_subsubtype":"","n_author":"279935","n_created":"1649294064","n_modified":"1649306120","n_version":"902958","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"source_url":"https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/50\/ibyh\/designing-hot-people","text":"I'm reflecting on last weekend and what it was like working on IBYH!?
