| Under the advocacy of being more culturally confident as China is becoming stronger than before,an increasing number of visual designs depending on Chinese culture have emerged one after another.Compared to the offline physical products,the virtual visual design can not only enrich cultures but also increase the products’ added value and carry forward the long history of China.With the rapid development of network technology,virtual products are characterized by fast spread and wide range.Therefore,the virtual products such as online games are more entertaining and positive in promoting cultural communication.With the purpose of exploring the 2D game on the theme of ancient myth,this paper firstly studies the ancestors’ primitive thoughts in ancient times to learn about the ideological connotation in ancient myths.Secondly,the creation myth of “The Goddess Mending The Sky” is selected as the theme of game design.On this basis,the visual and auditory elements related to ancient period are integrated.In terms of visual elements,the patterns of ancient Chinese rock paintings,ground paintings and pottery are used for reference.With respect to color selection,the color matching of ancient pottery and rock paintings are considered.Meanwhile,the game design is also combined with contemporary visual aesthetics in the game design.Based on the study,analysis and comparison of ancient musical instruments excavated from archaeological discoveries,the auditory elements which are more in line with game style are selected as the background music.This exploration and experiment aim to design a 2D game that both conforms to contemporary aesthetics and implies ancient culture as well as atmosphere. |
