Pretend is Underway!

The working title for our upcoming game is Pretend.  This game is a 2D side-scrolling, web-based, flash game about a little kid who's playing pretend.  You get to play as the kid in the real world on one screen, while watching what is going on in his head on the other.  But beware, for the things that show up in the pretend world can most definitely affect you!

As the kid, you can choose to pretend to be a bird, dog, bear, or yourself to get through the obstacles in your mind.  Is the floor lava? Is that chair really a brick wall? Choose between speed, flight, and strength to get through the entire house and defeat the final boss.

Okay, so that's our high game concept that we came up with in the meeting today.  And here is a terrible concept drawing that I made during the meeting.

So yeah, I'm a programmer, not a 2D artist, but it made sense at the time.  We'll be meeting again on Sunday around 11am to discuss the art style and some concepts.  That's the homework for the weekend.
