#figuring out unity rn

[mikodrawnnarratives]

So I was going to make an additional art thingie just to add a LITTLE more to the (potential) sprite look of my original character. I ended up adding more to it than I had thought.

Most of that page is other designs of a sprite simplified look and what I think the save mechanic could look like! The clock design specifically is a work in progress

I think my oc's name will be Penelope. I don't know why for sure, but it calls to me. It's her name now. First appearance right here

Also, I realized the Son of Sandman's design kind of... looks like- kjdfkjlsdkljds

Once I realized I had to. It's staying.

Don't worry. He gets back at Penelope by calling her Pepe-

So far as story? BELOW the cut! Just what I've thought of so far

I didn't share much of what I was thinking before but rn the concept is that she's in a world where eyes are HEAVILY valued. Not so much the actual EYE (though they aren't wasteful haha) but instead the stars that every person has. Or starts out with at least

Anyone can have stars in their eyes. Kids and adults. But their are very fragile and can be lost very quickly. Inspiration and innocence. A drive to do things sometimes.

The Sandman is probably going to be a main antagonist and the player plays as Penelope, a child with no stars. More uncommon in some areas than others. She uses a lantern to help herself when it's dark though you'll find it hard to see her without it at any time of day. I think the game could be in black and white with some color

So far for what I've thought of for the game, I think the player will navigate the world and I'd hope I'd make the game feel like it has a lot of life. Or at least fun to discover.

I don't know HOW much I'll keep of this. But I am keeping the ideas I've gotten for Sandman and the star eyes stuff
