The Adventures of Zephir and Zippy

Cool work, sad ending. Created a simple game to a set brief for a job application at Playfish. They really liked the game, but wanted someone more experienced :(


However i had a hoot doing the work, however stressed out I was, it was ace! The brief was to create the character Zephir, an alien bounty hunter and his sidekick Zippy, put them in an alien environment, create the basic game elements; a walk cycle and a shoot cycle (which had to last exactly 0.5 seconds), with a funny, cartoony theme. I created a colourful world made of cheese (lol) and the two characters, Zephir being the secret lovechild of Han Solo and Zapp Brannigan, cocky, smart but lacking common sense, but insanely likeable. Zippy his sidekick is a hyper-intelligent creature who can clone himself and communicate with telapathy, and acts Zephir's moral guide and conscience. Play it here
