Main Enemy Characters, Cockroach Mini Bosses

After we had the main character design set and the rat boss designs ready to be broken down into the chosen one, we decided to have mini bosses or rather obstacles in the level in the form of cockroaches. The reason for cockroaches was because the look menacing and would not be seen as something that the audience has to feel sorry for and we found that cockroaches eat anything which enabled us to feel that this is an insect that would fit as an enemy of a food based level. So i started to reasearch in the same mindset of the rat boss research in which i would research real cokcroaches and cartoon based cockroaches which staraight away Oggy and The Cockroaches came to mind and once again the visual aspect of a cockroach is distinguished through their main aspects such as their limbs, shape and colour and this is visible through the cartoon representations. I felt that once i knew the main areas of a cockroach that make them stand out i would be able to make the designs fit into our game and so began to design the cockroach designs and once again there wasn't many variations of a cockroach designs that i could make as they only vary from their body shape and the colours and so i tried to vary the body shape to allow the cockroach to look menacing and although there weren't many variations that stood out i can see some that are possible choices as the level mini bosses.

We thought of distinguishing the cockroaches between areas of the level by having them wear some form of sportswear that shows they are ready to attack as well as a sport that is from the countries that we are making into dishes such as for Canada we would have the cockroaches wear some hockey gear, America would have the cockroaches wear American Football gear and Mexico would have the cockroaches wear wrestling gear and we also reasearched into these clothing but initially decided to not pursue it as it seemed too much for our game.
