Luke Nicholson created initial plans and mind maps for two potential game projects - a 2D open world survival RPG set in modern day where the player encounters hostile creatures and NPCs that can help or threaten them, and a 2D indie horror platformer with a player-driven story featuring dark, spooky characters that chase the player who could take on the role of the bad guy. Luke also created a mood board analyzing repeated dark, ominous tones and colors to convey surviving unknown threats that will guide the design of the final product.

5. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected?
Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
-Yes, there is a repetition in the images I collected, mostly the mood and tone. That being the theme of
trying to survive the unknown and what threats you could face. They are mostly colourful, colours that is
used.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
-This will be good to refer to when I'm making my final product and I will use it to guide me when I'm not
sure what I should do.
