Description This was done as part of another module in my Illustration class.
The task was to design an Interface for a Game on a handheld device. The thing is, I don't know jack about Pixel-art, so I picked a console that will have enough res to display nice graphics XD
Besides the Sony Next Gen Handheld had this huge image I could use as a template.

Since I am busy with working on an actual Game outside of class, I picked something that I really know well and love, so I know what is important in the gameplay and for the controls.

So naturally I went with Bionicle. Not only because I like it, but because I haven't heard about any of the games that are out being good. (Excluding the online flash-games).

It was clear that the thing that definitely was needed for good gameplay in a Bionicle game were the elemental powers, masks and weapons.
And of course the characters. I haven't thought of a big story, since we all know how it goes.

The next step was to creat a possible in-game screenshot for the game. Me and some others who know PS a little better have already managed to do this today. With got two more days left withthis module next week. Excited ^^

About:
PS CS4 Extended,
Wacom Cintiq 12UX
No idea how long I sat on the HUD,
but the screenshot took ~3H.

Awesome, they should definitely make another Bionicle game, just for the fans. Just one thing; the HUD does seem to take up a bit too much space :/

Heh I did something similiar.

Though, you should remove that party window. And just replace it with Tahu's head. You can hit a button and open a secondary menu to switch parties. Saves lots of real estate.

Hmm, that's a good idea. But I already handed the thing in, it was due today.
I'll keep that in mind though.

I don't even play video games and I would buy that. So gorgeouuussss~ And yes, you have some of the basic failings of the available games down. I played a bit of Heroes and while it was okay, the whole shooting setup was meh.

This is amazing, but I have two minor gripes that can be easily rebuffed.
One is that Tahu's legs seem a bit too spread out for an effective fighting stance and two is that, while intuitive and well thought out, the interface seems to take up a bit too much of the screen.
