New art, as promised :) :
This is my entry for Computer Arts original game character design competition, here's what I wrote about him:
Thunderbolt George!
George was an ordinary house rat who had no concerns in his life other
than where his next meal was coming from. Being a rat, this made him
wonder what he could eat next about every 3 seconds.
A strange unique (and most importantly tasty smelling) aroma drifted
into George's cage one day. Feeling very hungry, and a little miffed at
his owner dressing him up in costumes all of the time, George squeezed
through the hole he made at the back of his cage when he thought it may
be edible!
Becoming so obsessed with the new food smell, George completely
overlooked the fact that he had unwittingly walked through an
inter-dimensional portal to the Chaos Planet, a parallel world which
has been taken over by cruel food based life forms. George is unaware
of the evil intentions of the food fiends, but once he accidentally
lands on one it changed back into it's natural (and very edible) state.
Join George on his inadvertent adventure to save the land by reverting
the monsters to their natural state and eating as much as he can! Will
he save the Chaos planet? And if he does, will he realise he has? Or
will he just take nap?
A crazy fast paced 3D platform game with intuitive controls. Use
Georges tail to whip enemies, grab onto overhead pipes to swing across
gaps or stealthily sneak above his enemies before dropping onto them
and crushing them with his weight! Get enough momentum by running and
his tail will start spinning like a propellor allowing him to fly
through the air like a helicoptor, using his ...ahem...recycled
nutritional nuggets (ie, rat poo!) to bomb enemies! Use Georges keen
sense of smell to discover hidden routes through the levels and sniff
out secrets! Makes the most of Georges insatiable appettite and
literally eat through an enemies armour!
PS: Just noticed this thread's been rated 5 stars, thanks everybody! :D
