MayDay - 2D minigame

I’ve create a video game from scratch. It means that I’ve used my most creative skills + my new coding skills + my fav tech nowadays: AI for ART (@openai)

The video game is a reinterpretation of the well-know ‘space invaders’. In this article, you will see (and hopefully understand) the steps & design process I’ve followed to complete the video game.

Hope you enjoy ;)

Player needs to save the astronauts who got lost in the space before they run out of O2 and bring them back to the Earth. Meanwhile, they need to avoid being killed by the Aliens who will follow the player around the space.

Characters: The game have 3 main characters

the rocket (main)

the alien (enemy) and

the astronauts(actor)

I’ve decided to you the aesthetic of 8bits for the visual concept of this video game.

To create all the elements and their variations for the animations, I’ve used one of my favourite tools nowadays: OPEN AI - DALLE.
