Cops for kids: Animations

Here is the first child walking.

And the police dog.

And the fire dog.

The children were made in 32x32 whereas the adults are 64x64. The resulting effect is that adults will look a bit more complex or detailed, while children are blocky. The underlying reason, trying to hint at growth, maturity, and knowledge that comes with age and civil service, is something that needs to be stated implicitly due to the very nature of children. There are fundamentally two types of children:

• The ones that'll do something when you tell them to. Let's call them (I don't feel like coming up with names) 'girls'.

• The ones that do the exact opposite. These will be 'boys'.

This game isn't for 'girls', although 'girls' will be able to play and enjoy. This is a game for 'boys' in that we aren't going to force them to do anything. All the game is designed to do is present obstacles to the child, which the child solves by utilizing police and fire services, and then the child is rewarded. We're not telling them to call the police and fire departments, all we're doing is showing scenarios where kids and public services work together to solve problems. And also presenting information about local police and fire departments. Kids are smart enough to do the rest.

So back to the art- we can't say adults are smarter, we just imply it by making them imperceptibly more complex.

Also, none of that actually matters to anyone in even the slightest.
