Weekly Update Report 2

This week my primary focus has been creating the characters to be used within my game and the backgrounds to be used for my levels. I decided on a cowboy blob for my main character, who is purple and has some stereotypical western clothes like jeans, a bandanna and a cowboy hat. For the bad guy I have chosen a cactus as I felt having a plant as a bad guy would give the user a bit of a comedy feel to the game and obviously is highly appropriate to my chosen theme. My plan now for the next few weeks is to create the whole game itself, I need to include all of the character images in as frames to make them into an animation, and then give the character the appropriate behaviours. I also need to think of how many levels I will have, whether I will create my own tile set and whether to have start-up screens and completed screens.
