This document provides details for pre-production on a game project. It includes suggestions for a mobile menu, map design, color scheme, character designs, fonts, and character stances. It also lists potential sound effects and how to create them, suggested background music, and contingency plans for issues like equipment problems or work being lost. Finally, it identifies some health and safety concerns like electrical equipment, trip hazards, spills, and eye strain.
2. Style sheet
I would like to do a
mobile menu with
similar aspects to
these as they show
the personality of
the game and have
interesting button
designs.
I really like how
the map has little
fun aspects that
link to the game
and show a path
instead of just
blocks to select. I
would like to do
something similar.
I would like some
sort of dark earthy
colours to be used
for the background
to show it is not in
the most build up
area, and quite
beaten down like a
war zone.
I would quite
like some deep
purples and
blues to add
some colours
and more of a
mystical feel.
I really like these
character
designs so I may
take some
inspiration from
them and make
my characters
based on them.
3. I really think this
font would work
well with my style
as it is just pixels so
I can easily make
that happen on my
own.
I also feel like this font could
be really nice for some work
as it is bold and presentable
on every colour as there is
the outline as well.
This is a nice generic almost elf
warrior character which help
me with a much more generic
idea of female battle armour
and weapons as well as stance
that they could use.
These images give me a good
idea of what sort of stance is
natural and that people can use
when they are stood still waiting
to battle.

9. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Not got the correct equipment Move to another place where there is the
correct stuff and work there instead.
Lose my work Back it up to at least 2 other places than the
primary storage area so I can get it back.
Computer breaks down Have it backed up somewhere else so that I can
work and get a technician to come out to try fix
it.
Work breaking and not being able to receive it. Have to make sure you save it multiple times in
multiple different places to try to increase the
chance of having one that works. Otherwise
there may not be anything you can do, you just
have to try to catch up and repeat the process.
10. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Electrical equipment Avoid touching faulty equipment and request a
technician sort it out instead.
Trailing wires/bags/coats Tuck all trip hazards under the desks.
If there is any water around, could slip Make sure to mop up any water as soon as it is
spilt.
Eye strain Take regular breaks to look away from the
screen. Make sue the screen is angled away
from lights.
Editor's Notes
Explore colours and pixel art styles similar to what you want to produce. Discuss these elements in relation to why you chose them and where you may use them in your project. Go over as many pages as you need to.
Mock up of a potential design using the colours and sourced images. Alter this slide to make it appropriate for your planned product types. Use the content established in your style sheet to do this.
