I have an old mood board from a year ago on which I explored the character design and aesthetics of the game. In this mood board, I focus more on the PS1 and Y2k aesthetics of the game. While I agree with some of the aesthetics, I want to redefine what particular aesthetic I&#8217;m going for, which I will discuss in a later post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"991\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-16.png\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image-8.png\" class=\"wp-image-331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-16.png 991w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-16-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-16-768x396.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-16-850x438.png 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 991px) 100vw, 991px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Character Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I drew a few concept designs for my Rat characters: A customised Rat named Rico and an unnamed customised rat. Rico was a test for a few customisation options such as Tattoos, Dying fur, Hairstyles and Accessories. I think the character design is quite charming. If you&#8217;ve ever watched <em>Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives<\/em>, he is heavily inspired by the host, Guy Fieri. His &#8220;rocker&#8221; style was a big influence on this character. While Rico was just a test, I feel like I could probably add him to the game as a reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the second rat, they are a test for the effects of customisation. This rat has dyed yellow fur and a gummy worm tail. My initial idea was for a gummy worm tail to give an energy boost or for you to &#8220;bounce off the walls&#8221;. Studies show that Rats react positively to the taste of sugar, and are attracted to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought wacky upgrades like that would suit the quirky nature of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"979\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-17.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-17.png 979w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-17-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-17-768x368.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-17-850x407.png 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Foxes as Enemies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also thought about the mechanic of Foxes, one of the enemies. Foxes would appear in snowy and forest landscapes. If I could simulate changing seasons, like in <em>Pokemon Black and White<\/em>, where the season checks your current date and timezone. The season will then change according to this info. I think foxes would appear most in Winter but have a lower chance of being encountered in the other seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I still have yet to expand on foxes other than this, so hopefully I will make a more solid concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-18.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-18.png 990w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-18-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-18-768x353.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/image-18-850x391.png 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Game Overview My 2023 overview of the game has points that are still true to my intended vision of the game.
