Game Hero Critique

SergeiMirminski

Hi,

Id like some feedback on my project in general- character design, story critique, style, color palette.

I'm making a Unity 2d game set in fictional Medieval Europe.

The plot:

You are the son of a bloodthirsty general. He [your father] was dishonorably discharged for taking to much pleasure in killing. He fell on his sword(suicide) because of his revoked license to kill. His sword was thus imbued with his hateful spirit, and you, his son, are commanded by him [the sword] to slay enemies so that he may delightfully mire in the blood.

That's super cool, I love it,
Not sure I like how the scarf covers his mouth from the front, but in motion I'm sure it reads more clearly.

Your hero concept could benefit from a few improvements as you fleshing him out. I can see you are going for a more stylized look, and it is good that you have made a good representation of medieval armor from the neck down; however scarves were seldom used even in cold weather, if you look here http://www.medieval-life-and-times.info/medieval-clothing/medieval-knight-clothing.htm clothing used in or around armor or mail would have been used to prevent chafing. A cloak would have been more appropriate rather than a scarf, which goes for plate, mail or unarmored.

Otherwise, I like your concept. I can't wait to see your finished concept.
