My initial plan with this game was to have almost non-existent art, probably no music, probably no sound effects. I changed my mind. I'm going to do some simple art, music and sound effects myself. "Simple" art includes 2D animation, which I totally took a class for like 5 years ago. I also took a bunch of art classes, so I figure I might as well use my entry level art/animation classes for something. Here is the first pass of half of a run cycle. Click the red square to view all 4 glorious frames of actual animation.
It's even sloppier than it probably could be, since my background and initial guide sketch show up as their own frames. You get the idea though. Also, I don't really plan on making this much more complex. Basically just cleaning it up. The dude's gonna be solid colours, possibly with shadows. No face, hair, clothes or any of that.
Regarding music and sounds... I am probably gonna do minimalist electric guitar (i.e. my skill level) for the music and do some home foley for sounds. The goal here is to do this whole game myself.
Oh, and here's what it looks like with every animation layer visible (just for fun):
