Messenger Gull

spreading joy, one feather at a time!

Messenger Gull is another Flappy Bird inspired game; however, this version poses new challenges with new obstacles. Players have to carefully navigate a little seagull through these challenges in order to deliver as many messages as possible, and spread positivity and motivation through these messages. Similarly to my previously released game Flappy Gull, this game takes a scribbly art style.

About The Project

  • Built with Unity. Graphics created through Krita. Sounds were found on the internet.

  • This project was started with the goal of inspiring people and making them motivated, even if they are struggling through difficult times. This is accomplished through the quotes and messages woven into the gameplay.

  • I made the source code publicly available on github. Feel free to check out my code and see how the game is built. All the art work is also available for download.

  1. Digital Art

Creating game assets and art is the first step of creating a game. Art helps set the game’s feel and it has to be consistent throughout the game.

Process

2. Coding/Designing

This step in the process is the part where the game is actually put together. It usually involves a lot of programming and designing different aspects of the game.

Source code is hosted on github.

3. Testing

This is when the game is tested in order to make sure that it is of the right difficulty. Bugs that are found in this stage also have to be removed in order to maintain the quality of the game.

4. Physical Art

A physical rendition of the game, created with cardboard. This was created using screenshots as references that inspire the art on the cardboard. Paint was applied to the cardboard to create these designs and these cutouts will be used to inspire promotional items for nonprofits and school fundraisers.

The Delivering of Messages

These promotional items can be used to deliver our message of optimism and positivity to people who may need them. Money raised through sales will be donated to nonprofits, helping the people who need the support.
