3. Style Sheet Analysis
• Why did I choose digital and pixel-based for the art-style? I
went with digital to be used for my front cover as well as
small dialogue scenes, as to look more distinct than the
gameplay. I also went with pixel art since its more simple and
easy to make for the game itself.
• Why did you choose the colour pallet’s? I wanted to go with
darker purple’s and blue colours as to represent the dark
night sky, with a dark greyish blue to represent the dark
clouds, and a bright yellow to represent moonlight.
• Why did you choose the fonts? I wanted to go with some
fonts that could stand out. I was looking through some fonts
on DaFont.com, as well as taking inspiration from existing
fonts from the Touhou games (which is what my product will
be inspired by). I am hoping to go for a more bright bold font
that stands out amongst the darker colours.

8. Software & Resources
Software needed Resources needed
Google, for researching images and fonts
for inspiration.
Monitor.
Photoshop, for the production of my final
product.
Computer.
PremeirePro, to add music and sound
effects to my work.
Mouse.
Powerpoint, for planning my ideas as well
as making notes and evaluating my work
progress so far.
Keyboard.
Photopea, as a Photoshop alternative if I
want to work on my product at home.
Microsoft Teams, to keep uploading work
and reflecting on the project.

9. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Loss of production and work progress. Make sure to keep saving and backing up my
work.
Might run out of time to finish the work. Make sure to work hard on it during the
lessons, as well as in my own free time.
Copyright issues with character designs. Try to make my character designs distinct from
what I am inspired by.
Images and drawings in Photoshop may
appear as blurry.
Make sure to draw and print them in the right
size.
Work saved on an individual computer. Make sure to save it to my OneDrive, so I can
work on it on any computer.
Music gets corrupted, and copyrighted. I will try to make my music distinct, or maybe
use royalty free music. I will also make sure to
keep saving and backing it up, so I will always
have it in case it gets corrupted.

10. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Back pain. Try to sit in a more comfortable position.
Eye strain. Take a few breaks from the screen whenever
possible.
Tripping hazards. Make sure to not run around the room, and
that there is nothing getting left in the middle
of the room.
Getting too hot, or too cold. If it gets too hot, maybe take your jumper off if
you have one on, or turn the heating off. And if
its too cold, ask to put the heating on.
Computer overheating. Maybe a sign to turn it off and take a little
break for a while.
Hands ache. Make sure to have your hands in a more
comfortable position.
