Design Inspiration - Main Character

Following is the design inspiration for the main character we will be working on. Please refer to the feature ticket and the task ticket for more info.

Centaurs

Centaurs is a creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body and legs of a horse. It was chosen due to the following reasons -

• Popularity in Greek Mythology.
• Suits the ancient design style of the game.

Sprite movement inspiration

The movement of the main character will draw inspiration from the following gifs. The movement however won't be as exaggerated and detailed as gif 1 for the Sprint 1.

Design Journey - Main Character

• After the main character was decided upon being a controllable entity, and as mentioned the team decided that a centaur would be the most fitting for the game because of its reference to Greek mythology. Our very first iteration of the centaur was done through paper sketching as shown below.
