currently there is a school competition on where you make a game based on the theme contact. Mine is going to be about first contact with aliens.
You play as a chicken, trying to make his way through the alien spaceship to retrieve a stolen pie. (There is backstory to this).
Currently, my level colors are extremely bland. I am trying to keep to the silhouette type theme, since its faster to create interesting levels that way.
This color is terrible - I need some ideas for adding in some colour!
If ur going solid black like that id go with neon colors almost to spice it up alot. Since its alien u can use that however u want aswell. U need to break off by using very bright colors like lights and so in and maybe some alien runes. The chickeb could be the only white thing making him stand out aswell.
If that level is inside the alien ship, then to convey a sense of it being alien maybe you need a colorscheme that says strange or different, like a bright green or something. Green and black seem to get lumped together quite a bit when it comes to alien stuff.
Strongly recommend going to www.colourlovers.com → often find inspirational colour palettes there. Either that or browse deviantart and sample the colours using photoshop or similar.
