Tip #2 - Keep your assets abstract
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Prototyping is the wrong time to commit to anything, especially art assets. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| What should I use instead for my art then? | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Use abstract primitive shapes like squares, circles, etc of varying colors to prevent design from being married to art decisions. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Plus then you can spend your time focusing on the gameplay design and other aesthetics right? | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Right! And when you get feedback from early testers they won't be influenced by "programmer art" and the shapes are easily replaced by art later if needed! | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Shapes do make it clear it's just a placeholder and that sure sounds a lot easier to work with! | |
