Welcome to the Codey Vs Iain blog. Which is actually our blog for 3rd year of outcomputer game design degree.
This is Iain speaking by the way.
I started a blog at the very beggining of this year, documenting this project, so to save me typing it out again in this one...heres the link to my old blog.

I havent posted a blog for 10 days, so theres quite abit of catching up to do. But I'll start by telling you what it is Codey and I intend to do..
We intend to make a platform game, based on speed, flow and movement.
Thats the basic idea, though we do already have a lot more to ad to that. If I miss anything, Codey can correct me afterwards.
After we had an initial brainstorm of core mechanics we'd like to see implied, we discussed style. The visual style of our game is very important to both of us, so we decided to just experiment with different styles. We discussed a few different styles we liked (but for some reason both of us had Alien Hominid in our minds), and then I set about trying some out.
I tried Photoshop painting, Flash painting, monotone and line, and finally a collage of photos taken by myself at various locations and of various people.
After reviewing these images, we both immediately favoured the lined image. Mainly because it was simple and stylish. Though I also liked the photographic one alot, as it reminded me of samurost. http://amanita-design.net/samorost-1/
After having a discussion in Uni, we came up we came up with a list of things that we need to research constantly over this pre production period. Although its in codey's book, so i cant list them on here yet. haha.
oops! gotta train to catch! Codey or i will continue this later
thanks
Iain
