Storyboard

Today we discussed our screen design. At first we looked, what kind of graphic we would use and how the mainscreen looks like.

We decided to use vector graphics without outlines but with colour gradients and shadows. The world around the game and the characters should look funny but not childish.

The mainscreen of the game shows an Alpine scenery with mountains, clouds, the sun and so on. Here you can see thumbnails of all games you can choose, the username, the highscores of each game, the total highscore and the chamois who guides you through the game.

To get a little impression of the graphics, here are some scribbles. Don't be disappointed, better and detailed graphics will follow soon!!!

The recipe is not ready yet because we have to proof the ingredients carefully. But don't worry, we will come back soon with new improvements and resistless taste!
