Flash: 2D Platform Game - Sketches

For the past couple of days, I have been doing some sketches of the character you play as in game, Angry Derek:

Before I could make the character in Illustrator. I was suggested to change the characters appearance to a degree, due to the fact that the idea for "Angry Derek" was based on a real person, so to make a character without "demorallising," I made some allterations: 

Sorry for the poor quality on this one... anyway, these are some of the ideas I had in mind to recreate the facial appearance.

Flash: 2D Platform Game - Generating Ideas

A couple of days ago, me and the group were discussing ideas for our game.

We have eventually came up with the idea of Angry Derek: A fat man who has a love for Ice Cream. The aim of the game is to control Angry Derek and race him to an ice cream van before it gets away. You win the game when Angry Derek reaches the ice cream van and lose if the van gets too far away for Angry Derek to catch. We are also planning on having obstacles in the game to slow or stop (maybe something that can speed) Angry Derek, such as people, traffic cones, road works, open man-holes, etc. The style of the gameplay will be (we are hoping for it to be) a non-stop run-and-jump game.
