This document outlines an individual's initial plans and ideas for a 2D game project. It discusses several game genre options that would work for a 2D game, including side scrollers, puzzles, and platformers. The individual has a preference for RPG games where a character progresses through unlocking items and rewards. They believe they are good at production aspects and using their own drawings, particularly for game design. They also feel they are good at coming up with initial concepts and plans. The rest of the document involves mind maps, mood boards and project planning details.
2. Initial Reaction
• After looking at the brief I have several options I could go
for being 2-D only I could either make a side stroller, puzzle
game, platformer or even turn based game.
• When it comes to games I much prefer RPG games where
you make progress with a character unlocking lots of items
and rewards games such as Skyrim or fallout.
• I believe that I am good when it comes down to the
production side of things, I like to use my own drawings
particularly when it comes to game design.
• I am also quite good at the initial plans and coming up with
several concepts for the product as I prefer the more
creative side of the course.
6. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
The images I have chosen to use all have reoccurring themes and
styles, firstly lots of the images have a fantasy style to them with
similar colours being quite dark and full of mystery.
The next point of repetition I found was the style of the games lots of
the images show turn based games as this is the type of game I would
like to use and they all have a similar layout which will help me get and
idea of what mine should look like.
How will your mood board influence your final product? My mood
board will have quite an impact on my game as it is the first visual
representation of the type of game I plan on making as well as giving
me ideas for m own game and what others may include in there game.
7. WEEK OVERALL PLAN SPECIFIC TASKS
1 Case Study, Initial
Response, Product
Research
We will pick a certain game then take apart
all the terminology, look at audio and
compare it to similar or other games.
We will mind map our initial ideas for the
game then choosing one of the three and go
into more detail on the game you will make.
We will take a look at existing products and
look at what they do, include and what's
good and bad about the game.
2 Audience Research,
Production Experiments,
Proposal, Planning
we will look more into our audience for our
game looking at psychographics and what
we can do to reach our audience.
We will make an mock of our game to test
our skills and show what we can do and what
we need to improve on the final product.
We will write our proposal up.
We will start the designing of our game
looking at colours, styles character designs
and our concept in general.
3 Production we will begin the making of our final
product.
4 Production we will finish the making of our final
product.
5 Evaluation we will look at what's good and bad about
