Design & colours
My narrative is set mainly in outer space & on other planets, so my design & colour scheme is going be futuristic, with silvers, blacks, blues & greens, as the main colours, which are present throughout the game. for example, most of the game screens, the spacecraft & objects which must be collected will basically follow these colours.
| #002340 | |||
| #07487f | |||
| #dddfe1 | |||
| #8d8f91 | |||
| #c7ffd5 |
Other colours will be used in the game for example, the actual colours of the other planets as you are traveling to them, and then of course the 'scene' you are given once 'on' that planet need to match the planets colour, so Mars as an example will need to have a red coloured scene.
| #A33D3D - Mars | |||
| #DAAB82 - Venus | |||
| #95594B - Mercury |
Parts of the game will be affected by which planet you are on, gravity & temperature for example, and the colours of the planet will help to give the user the feeling that their charachter actually is in these locations.
Font
The main font I have chosen to use, for now, is 'AndyBold'. The main reason for choosing this font, is that it's one of my favourites & I think it fit's in quite nicely with the style of the game.
Using a custom font, which people are not likely to have on their PC's will not be an issue for me as I can embedd the font in Flash.
