Happy with todays progress.

Hi Everyone, First update for today. I've been wanting to do another Ludum Dare for the last couple of years, but i keep missing them or have other things on when they are on, so this time i planned months ahead of time and of course after all that planning i get sick this weekend. We're working with a team of 2 programmers and 1 artist (myself). The theme was the 1 theme I had spent the least time thinking about, so that was a bit of an unfortunate curve ball for me. We discussed a few ideas, but ended up settling on a wave based game where you play as the tiny creature Mr Wallace the mouse fending off all sorts of creatures. So far I've spent most of today setting up the mouse model and a few additional props the player can pick up.

I've included some of the WIP shots from the art side. I started with a very basic block-out, i then moved onto the head first and built out a very basic grey box version of the mouse. I then went back over and added the details like hands and shoes after i had the main block out done. Once the general shape of the body felt right i started giving the mouse some clothes. After a bit of discussion we thought the face could be cuter, so i made a few adjustments to the face to make him look more friendly. I did the textures and set his colour to a yellowy brown, after a few revisions i settled on white looking more friendly. Hoping to get a couple more tiny creatures done tonight, then fingers crossed i can get some sleep. Looking forward to seeing everyone's entries.
