Doge Life (Art 108 [Intro to Game Design] Project)
Doge Life was supposed to be a game about the bond between a dog and its owner. The bond that descends life and death, one that is not easily severed. The player is a Dog named Seishi. The story isn't all there and the player might feel lost at first as there isn't any clear indication of what's happening.
Through hidden radios scattered throughout the levels the story unfolds. The tragic incident and love of the dog and owner starts to give way to a miracle ? I wanted to leave the ending as open as possible as it up to the player to decide what they really want.

Choosing the right style
The art style I wanted to go might give the player a different feeling from what the game is about but I feel like that is what I want to go with. A hidden story that will slowly reveal itself until the end.
Evolution of the dog sprite
Improvements
Throughout the course I had plans for the game to be updated and certain sprites to be replaced with better ones. The evolution of the game's art was never in the final piece but I would like to show how the style has changed and the improvements I made.
