1. Experiments
Benjamin Wincup

2. Process
• I used the pencil tool to draw
everything. The arms and pistol
were made on different layers to
the main body. I made some
swooshy lines and made them
72% opacity so it would look as if
the pistol was moving. I drew a
muzzle flash and a bullet.
• I pressed on window, timeline and
made a frame animation.
• Each frame I set some layers to
invisible and some to visible to
create the effect that the gun was
moving although I only actually
have two drawings.
• I used the tween tool to make it
look as if the bullet moved faster.

3. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
– I will include the simplistic, thin style of pixel art
that I used for my character.

4. Process
• I think that the whiter
border is better for the
text box as I think the
gold colours should
stay at the top.
• I mostly used the
pencil tool for this. The
diagonal bar at the top
left of the screen is
what I used for my
colour scheme.

5. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
– I will include the barrier around each section as it
allows the player to know what’s on a separate
part and what isn’t.

6. Process
• For my experiment, I decided a text
based RPG with minimal visuals
would be a fun idea. The concept is
that your character walks along until
it enters an encounter with an
object or human. The text scrolls
onto the screen and you can choose
from options.
• The way I animated this was pretty
easy. I made several sprites of the
protagonist moving and each word
of the text was a separate layer. That
was so that the text would appear to
scroll in.

7. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
– I will include the same animation style and the
same music website in my final product as it
makes things much easier whilst still maintaining a
professional quality.
