This document provides details about the pre-production of a gaming project about autism awareness. It outlines the target audience as 16-19 year olds to recognize mental health issues in both genders. It describes the game's style as having vibrant primary and secondary colors inspired by Banana Kong and Robot Unicorn Attack 3. Pixel art characters and objects will be drawn in 8-bit or 16-bit style. It includes screenshots of the game layout and lists sound effects to be used. Contingency plans are outlined for potential computer glitches or the creator becoming ill. Health and safety precautions are also noted.

2. Audience Profile My audience will be
the suitable age of 16-
19 year olds, a suitable
age to recognize
mental health. Since
autism effects not just
one gender but both
genders, I’ll make sure
that the autism
message seeps
through the minds of
both genders, that we
should care and think
about the mentally
effected and help
them though the odds.

3. Style sheet: Colours Within my game, there will
be a mixture of primary and
secondary colours, however
they will all be vibrant
because hen you think of
autism and unicorns, there’s
a true spectrum of colours.

4. Style sheet: Image style I want my layout to
look simple and neat
at the same time, so I
will draw I inspiration
from two popular
and loved games:
Banana Kong and
Robot Unicorn
Attack 3. Between
them, they are both
set out very similarly:
a long path with
obstacles and coins
(bananas) to collect,
as well as upgrades
to buy, and that is
what I had in mind
for my game.

5. Style sheet: Pixel style In terms of the pixel
art, I will be drawing
out my characters and
objects in an 8 bit or
16 bit style similar to
these photos.The
grass and mountains
will have a darker
outline to make it
look in great detail. As
forAlly and the rest of
the characters, they
will all be draw out in
simplicities, however,
to make her mane
colours mix, I will use
the blur tool to make
the colours blend.

9. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
The possibility of
encountering a computer
glitch is very unlikely, but
possible.
Ask a tutor to help sort
out the problem.
I could be ill one day, and
the time I have to
complete my game might
be interrupted.
Save some work so that I
could do my work at
home even when I’m sick.
If someone asks me for
help, my own time for
work could be delayed.
Politely ask them to ask
someone else if they can
sort the problem out.

10. Health and Safety
May encounter back ache and head
ache due to constant work on the
computer.
Take a break and relax for a few
minuets.
Possible eye strain may occur. Look away from the screen get eyes
back to normal comfort.
Fire alarm may go off. Follow the crowd to the nearest fire
exit and follow the orders. Do not
resist into staying in classroom
Wires and cables may be lurking
around, drinks may cause fire and
electrocution.
Only have water in specific types of
bottle so that it doesn't’t leak.
