Initial plans

1. Initial Plans
Your Name

2. Initial Reaction
I had mixed thoughts about this set brief at first because I when I
have created games before I found it quite hard to do and wasn’t
very skilled at this however then I liked this because It meant it
would give me the opportunity to become better and progress
within this project and therefore I will enjoy it more because I
am more skilled within this area. A strength of mine within this
project would be designing the game background and designing
other elements of the game and a weakness would be designing
a game character that is very detailed and another weakness is
to have the game running smoothly so that It runs and looks like
a normal game

3. Mind Map
Idea 1
Idea 2
Idea 3
My first game idea is to have a
match game similar to candy
crush however and in this game
you would need to match up the
objects and the more you do this
the more points you get. There
would different levels so that it
gets harder each time you
complete a level. To play this
game you need to swap colors
until 3 or more match and if you
get more than 3 in a row then
you get bonus points that will
help you progress to the next
level. On some levels the board
will get bigger and there will be
more colors to make it harder.
There will also be objects in the
way such as a bomb and you
have to match a certain amount
of colors before it goes off and if
it does go off then you fail the
level. There will also be power
ups and more bonus points to
help you progress to the next
level. This would be a fun game
for all ages and all genders
My second idea is to have a runner
game similar to super Mario . In this
game the character will have to
complete the level and get past the
objects in their way to stop them.
There will be a special that they need
to collect so they can go on to the
next level. There will be times in the
games where there will be creatures
that they need to try and beats hat
they don’t die. If there health is
running low there will be powers
along the way that will help them get
there heath back. There will also be
trick objects for the character that
they will need to be aware off and
make sure they don’t fall for it
because it will affect their health. If
there health runs low until they’ve
got none left they will then die and
fail the level. This would be a fun
game for all ages and all genders
however I think the main target
audience would be young teenagers
My third idea is to have a 2 player 1 – 1
football game. How this would work is that
there would be two players on the pitch
however the players would have a small
body and a massive head and they have to
head the ball in to each others goal and
then obviously the player that has more
goals wins. The audience for this game
would be males that are in there early teens

4. Mind Map
My final idea is to have a
platform game where the
character have to go round
completing the levels
whilst avoiding all the
obstacles in the way to
stop them and having to
battle enemies without
getting defeated
My primary target audience for this
would be kids young teenagers that
are younger than 16 ways in which I
would attract them to this game
would be using different bright colors
as this will catch their attention. As
well as this I will have the game being
addictive so that this will attract the
audience and they will continue to
play the game as they wont want to
lose and be defeated on the level.
This game will be aimed at both
genders however it will be aimed
more at males and one way in which I
will do this is by having a male as the
main character as then more males
will be able to relate and will want to
play the game.
For this project I will need to
use Photoshop as that Is
where I’m going to design my
game and edit it using frame
animation. I will also be using
premiere pro to also edit this
and include music. To edit the
music I will be using a
beepbox so I can add sound
effects into my game
The background for the first level will have a
blue sky with brown grass and this will be
similar with most levels the only changes will be
different shades of the color plus the path that
the characters run along will change. On the
levels where the character has to battle the
creatures then the background will be dark
colors to set the dark atmosphere
The obstacles in my game will
include a small black and yellow
fictional creature that will spit fire
out . There will also be a trick
mystery box that will fire bullets
out
In the game there are mystery boxes
and the give you armor so you cant
get attacked and health etc to help
you within the 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
Within these images that I have they include gold coins and one of the corner
it tells you how much coins have been collected. They also all include a start
screen which will be essential for me to include in my game. Another thing
they all have in common is they all use different colours and don’t just stick to
one .
How will your mood board influence your final product?
Mood board will influence my project because it gives me examples of
different games and shows me what they have in common and the
conventions of these games are and made me think what I will need to
include in my game in order for it to look like a proper game

7. Schedule
WEEK OVERALL PLAN SPECIFIC TASKS
1 Production Experiments,
Initial Response, Product
Research
 Complete the experiments and make
sure it includes audio and sound effects
then after all tis is complete then move
on to initial response and product
research and complete all those power
points as detailed as possible . Get the
idea generation all completed
2 Product Research, Proposal,
Planning
 research about the product with detail
refer to the audience and complete the
proposal for my game
3 Production  First make sure the background is
complete and get the main character
complete. Once this is finished then
move on to creating the objects for my
game that will stop the character
completing the level. Also make sure
everything else for the game is

the game moves by itself. Once this is
done use beepbox to create sound
effects for the game and then use
premiere pro to edit all this together
5 Evaluation  complete the evaluation. Make sure to
compare to other games and say what I
like about it and what I don’t like about
