Themes

• Weaponry• Stickiness• Gender

Queen Bee

• In the honey heist game the queen bee is one of three character options for player to be.• The queen is in charge of the hive and tree it dwells in. The gameplay

is more about building cities and colonies, like in the Sims games.• This character only goes into combat if it’s hive has been broken into

and her army fail to protect her.• As a fighter the queen is more of a battle mage, a witch and uses

magic as a form of combat.

Queen Bee Weaponry and Costume

• As a mage character the queen bee wouldn’t use melee weapons such as swords or knives. She would use a wand or staff instead. • This allows another form of gameplay available for the queen bee character to

have. To gain magical weaponry the queen must occasionally leave her hive to obtain rare items that can be made into a magical weapon.• Another aspect of the character is costume and apparel. The queen bee can craft

magical items of clothing to wear in battle. This gives the player a chance to create an individual character.

Bee Guard

• The bee guard character is a warrior. This character uses melee weapons and use brute strength to over power their enemies. • For this character the design would be based on armoured knights.• I also want to incorporate the bumble bee design by giving the guard

lots of legs. And so I look at centaurs or knights on horses for inspiration. • The bee guards have the job of guarding and fighting for their queens.

They’re extremely powerful and should be a lot of fun to play as.

Bee Guard Weaponry and Costume

• The bee guards would use heavy melee weapons such as hammers, axes and swords. • Keeping to the forest environment of the game I want to base the

weapons on natural materials such as wood, bark and vegetation.

Wasp Thief

• The wasp characters in the game are the thieves and stealth fighters.• They’re intention is to steal honey from bee hives and bring the

treasure to their nests.• I want to base this character on quick fighters such as martial art

fighters and ninjas.• The wasp thieves have to be quick and able to camouflage in the dark.

Wasp Thief Weaponry and Costume

• The wasps are stealth fighters and so I think they could resemble martial arts fighter in looks.• They need to be lean and muscular in build and so their clothing

should be light in weight and dark in colour.• Their weapons are small, sharp and used for melee attacks. • I feel that ninjas are good to reference from for this particular

character design.

Wasp Queen

• The wasps are also commanded by a queen. Like the queen bee, this character is a mage fighter that is skilled in dark magic.• This character is similar to the queen bee but shares a lot of the same

qualities the wasps have.• This character has to build cities and colonies, as it’s the highest

authority in the wasp nest.

Wasp Queen Weaponry and Costume • The wasp queen is another mage character, so it’s design would be

similar to the queen bee.• I want there to be a number of themes for this character such as

venom, shadows and death. I know this character sounds like a villain, but I know that a lot of people like to play as a villain character in a video game.• The wasp queen’s weapons are wands and staffs, but she may also

have a small melee weapon such as a dagger.
