A Ant Sized Scene

Welcome to my work in progress for my game "A Ant Sized Scene" - a third person exploring game

Note: this is my first game(but I have been working with unity for about 6 months now) so I am trying to keep it simple and hope to finish it in about two months.

Description:
You are a ant sized person or a ant(not sure yet) in cartoon style backyard. The goal of the game is to go to all the check points that are around the yard. When you get all the check points you win the game but you can get bonus points by getting the coins that a around.

Any kind feedback is welcome.

 

What type of game it will be exactly ?
Exploration and anything else ? Also seems to me that it will be hard to create a proper level do to the fact that everything is big enough to fill the entire camera view.

You made me curious. Can you show some screenshots or video ?

Good luck.

 

Interesting concept and a great first project. For my money you should make it a game about being an ant, rather than a small person.

Looking forwards to seeing some screenshots as this progresses.

 

The game type is going to exploration / puzzle. About the level design most of the development time is going spent level design.

 

The problem with a ant character is that 1: ant modes with animations are hard to come by, I only found one on the asset store(link) but $15 is bit more than I want to pay. but also I am not sure how the character controller will work with a character that is longer that it is high? Does anybody know about this?

 

More updates coming soon!:grin:
