LÖVE

I'm working on a game in MonoGame? (I'm not sure anymore), but since I hang around on these forums and program in Love.
I present to you the main character of a game with the code-name of "Hedgehog Love":

The Father Hedgehog:

The Mother Hedgehog:

The Baby Hedgehog:

The Story:
It's about a hedgehog family that live happily. One night the father goes looking for food and is caught by humans and transported to a pet-shop in Donlon. He needs to escape and find his family which live in the outskirts of Donlon. When he finally reaches them, he finds out that the area has been deforested and his family killed...

Beautiful artwork, Davidobot.
IMHO, I just think there should be a difference between the baby hedgehog and his father. They just looks too much similar...
Maybe different skin colors ?

Ok
The baby will have a lighter skin color. Thanks for the opinion!

You can also make the baby look more baby-ish by using the same linewidth for all images. That's something I figured out, when I used vector graphics. You'd probably have to find a medium line width for this, to make the baby recognizable.

So basically, make the line width two times bigger on the baby?

Yes. It's basically the same idea like for the eye. While you scaled down the shape, you did not fully scale down the size of the eye.

In your case the lines are very thick already, so maybe better make the parent-lines thiner instead of thickening the baby-lines.

So like so:

Yes. That is, how I meant. If you want, you can even use the same line width for parents and baby. Image you draw them with a pen on paper and you have only one sort of pen. Then all lines have the same width. That, of course, is my personal opinion on how to achieve a consistent look. Feel free to disagree.

No, I agree. Hopefully though, I manage to get the tiles to the right feel.

Hey Everyone, I just picked up Love2d this morning and started on a small testing game. I have to say that I love the simplicity of the API and the ease of use!
The little project i'm working on is an arcade-like high score survival game. You play a person with a laser eye and your sole objective is to avoid and shoot enemies.



As you can see I just started with setting up the interface and I managed to make a controllable character.
Nice to meet all of you and I'll bring you an update soon!
