Hi All,

My cousin and I want to make an iPhone game but we don't have programming experience. My cousin will be doing the art (he is a classical animator... so 2d). Below is an example of a BG he made for the possible game:



Now imagine if there was a zombie character that would walk around on this. Three questions:

1) Id the zombie would walk "away" from you and on angles.. what would this require in terms of images for frames in an animation? Would this or could this partly be handled by some sort of game engine?

2) Assuming this game had similar gameplay to a game like Machinarium, would you consider this an easy/inexpensive game to get programmed or a hard/expensive game (assuming all art is taken care by us)?

3) Since there would be a lot of art for this game.. could the capabilties of the iPhone be an issue memory wise?

Thanks!
