2. Initial Reaction
I initially think that this will be a very hard
project, as I find it hard to come up with original
ideas and character designs quickly.
I feel like I am much better at coming up with
stories than designs, and especially struggle to
make the designs a real thing.
6. Mood Board Analysis
There is much repetition in my collected images. I see that they
often have a natural or dark backgrounds. There is also a lot of
medieval costume designs. They are also very simple options
with, what seems like hardly any complicated decisions for the
player so they are very accessible.
I feel like these ideas will affect my final product as they seem to
have a simple layout that is pretty universal. I feel like this will
help my game fit in more with the genre and let players feel
more connected to it.
