Final project 2 maze upgrade

For the second upgrade I decided to upgrade my maze from the simple maze to the medium maze. It is larger and more complicated than the simple maze. I also upgraded the key and changed the enemies slightly.

This is an overall view of the maze. The enemies can be seen in the corners.

Final project 1 title screen

The First project I upgraded is my title screen. I added the upgraded logo and the upgraded tree. The tree gradually looses its leaves, and the moon does not disappear completely but gradually becomes a new moon, as that happens the screen gets darker. I also smoothed out the animation of the moon and the leave. Overall I think it came out well, and improved from the original.

Final Project concept phase

For my final project I will be upgrading my title screen by adding the updated logo, and smoothing out the animation. I don't plan on changing the overall style of the title screen, but I may add some things such as the upgraded tree from my earlier project.

Assignment upgrade 2

I think this new logo is more interesting than the old one. The old one was just an ordinary block with a title on it. For the upgrade I changed the overall shape and added a full moon to the background. I may or may not incorporate this logo into an upgraded title screen.

Logo upgrade research phase

 This week I wanted to upgrade my logo design. I mostly want to make the general shape more complex so I am using the Castlevania logo for reference. I might also experiment with a different font, and some sort of texture on the moon.

Pixel assignment upgrade

 For the upgrade I decided to make the tree less symmetrical. I also added vines using maya. I decided to keep some color in the vines so that they would stand out and actually look like they are supposed to. Overall I think it came out better than the original, but not necessarily perfect.

Upgrade Research

The project I plan on updating is the pixel building project. For that project I did a large dead tree. To upgrade it I plan to make it less symmetrical and more natural looking. For the reference image I used artwork of Faron Woods from The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. I plan to keep the original color scheme of black white and grey, but I plan to add more detail to the tree and the background.
