Un-named cartoon action / adventure....maybe

Idea:

Well, the ideas of this on eis a topdown Action / Adventure game, something with a good story, but maybe not MASSIVE depth, that can be finsihed in about 8 hours. It will be realtime, 2D (for now??), and am looking at a toon styling.

The story is slowly being fleshed out between character design, and tile / object creation.

Story:

So far the story goes as is:
On a remote distant moon lives a alien race, of Zombie Cats. For years they have lived peacfully, until this is threatened by a evil and selfish space pimp, the space pimp has sent the ruthless League Of Imaginary Cheerleaders across the galaxy to conquer any inhabited place to turn into bars and clubs. Now they have reached the home of the Zombie cats, and the only thing standing in thier way is the Zombie Cats last hope, Colonel Fluffington J. Pawsley and Lady Fluffy Tail Pixie Lips, Two Hard-Ass freedom fighters.

Like I say, alot of it is being fleshed out, and character design is still underway, but in the interim here are head shots for the Colonol and Lady, and the Pimp:

Thanks, never been much of an artist, so closest i could come to an over sized pimp style hat

I like that style and I'm curious about the next steps.

Well, for me the next step is finishing off body work for these 3 and completing a basic set of tile maps, Then onto the Imaginary Cheerleaders (most likely robots). I think I'll consider a few things before deciding on the actual Game Mechanics, I've always wanted to do a Action / Adventure with a Turn Based battle system, I am also considering an investment in the TGB Adventure Kit (if i decide to stick to 2D, which is 80% likely ) ;-)
