Creating Concept Art Ideas for Computer Game Graphics

Client Brief

My client has asked me to create a 2D platform game consisting of 5 levels, a main character, and various monsters within the game, which the player has to kill or avoid depending on the situation.

Brief

My game idea is a very simplistic 2D platform game, designed for children. The name of the game is "Blobs Adventure" the main character of this game is Mr. Blob, the main objective of the game is to save your wife Mrs. Blob, who has been kidnapped by the evil group "Unhappy Blobs" the leader of this group is Evil Blob and his minions are the Mini Blobs and the Stone Blobs, throughout the game the levels will get harder and you'll eventually save your wife and defeat the Evil Blob. The game will consist of 5 levels which will each have a different theme, meaning that all the levels will be a different colour from the previous one, the blocks will also contrast with the background. 

Graphics

My game will have incredibly basic graphics because the art style is pixel. The background of my game will simply be one solid colour that contrasts with the blocks on that level, to make the blocks stand out. To be more precise with the graphics, they will be raster, due to the simplicity of the game, and to keep the file sizes at a minimum, the file extensions that I'll be using will be .jpeg. The game is going to be 8-bit meaning that you can also play the game on a phone, and on a handheld gaming device such as a Nintendo DS.

Legal Considerations

My game is aimed at children from the age of 4 and above, this is because there is no severe violence, no foul language, and the game is very cartoon like so the children can see that everything happening in the game is fake, and shouldn't be performed in real life. The game will be copyrighted because it is my original idea and shouldn't be allowed to be stolen by others for their own profit.
