Aesprite Jam Process

Jam: The theme for this jam was "Offworld Refugee", which gave me two ideas to start with- a human child raised by aliens, or a scout stranded on a strange primitive world. I ended up going with the latter.

Process: I started by creating a few silhouettes for possible characters, though they turned out a little too cyberpunk to fit with the theme.

My favorite silhouettes out of the group

I knew I wanted to create a sprite, so I used some bases I've been working on to create a few quick characters. I really liked 3 and 4, but 2 fit the theme best so I went with that. The idea was to have a futuristic flightsuit covered with scavenged materials like the fur cape.

Future Plans:

I like this character and I'd love to develop some sprite animations for this (maybe as a fully developed proof-of-concept for my sprite pack), and maybe a few different portrait expressions. 

7/28/24 - I created a few animations for SquidBot, and I'll add the sprite sheet to the asset when voting closes.
