James plans to create a rail shooter, platformer, or puzzle game. For the rail shooter, he has mapped out enemy and allied vehicles from the Halo universe that could be included such as Banshees, Seraphs, and Hornets. He has also created a mood board to influence the visual style and military tone of the game sprites. James' schedule outlines experimenting with animation and sound in the first week, researching existing games in the second week, and developing sprites, sound effects, and integrating them in the following weeks. He cites several Halo games and other titles as sources to reference for his project research and inspiration.

2. Initial Reaction
• My initial thoughts to the brief was a positive
one as I have had experience with this project
before, so it wasn’t long before I started
coming up with ideas and so far, the ideas for
games, I could make are a rail shooter a
platformer and a puzzle game.

5. Mood Board

6. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• One repetition I have found in my images are the repeated uses of greys
and greens for UNSC vehicles and purple for covenant vehicles.
• Another repetition I found within the images I collected is that they have a
very realistic image style.
• A final similarity I have found within my images is their military tone as
every vehicles guns or other weaponry attached to them
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• The way my mood board will influence my work is the colour of the sprits I
do from the player character to allies to enemy’s as since my game is a
halo themed rail shooter I have to stick to the set colour scheme of each
vehicle but also I will have to make sure my sprite work makes it obvious
what weapons are on the vehicle and which vehicle uses them as the
mood is military so the sprites should reflect that
