• Using the idea of space pong is a option

grand theft auto deathmatches.

Scenery How the game will play Customizations
• Main background: space, planets in the
background and shining stars as well as a sun.
• It will include different stars moving at speed
in the background of the game.
• There will be shooting stars flying across the
back of the screen while the game is being
played.
• It will have a black hole in the background
which will be moving constantly in the
background to add to affect.
• There will be a ring that also might move in
the background.
• The game will be simple to play and will
follow the basic controls of a typical
arcade game with one main joystick and 2
additional buttons one will jump the other
will shoot and there will be ne more
button that you can press, which will
pause the game and take it to the main
menu.
• The game sensitivity will be optional and
changeable dependent on what you want
to play with and the 1 joystick will control
all movement around the game. Left right
up down all will be controlled through the
one joystick.
• The game will have different
customization options which will allow
you to change the different ball on the
game and choose to change it to
different options.

the scenery customization.
• all the scenery will be optional to

that the scoring and time limit is set out
through the options menu.Colour options
• The Colour scheme will focus around space the
sun will be a shinny white and the planets and

multiple different ideas so that they are able to
stand out.
• The stars and other scenery will move down as
the game that’s been played moves up to add to
the effect that its moving while the game is
playing.
How the scoring system works
• The game will be scored on how many times
the ball/object is hit back and forth against
yourself or the computer depending on what
type of game I go for but it will count the
amount of times you hit the ball/object in 1s and
will be able to record a high score.
• In the game if you miss the object the game
stops and comes up with game over but will
record each score that you get while playing it
each time you play it.
The menu screen
• The menu screen will have the option to
check score from previous games and start
the game and exit the game, as well as the
option for customizations to the
background, the planet/object and the
objects/ barriers that you hit it back with
dependent on what you unlock in the
game.
5. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
There is repetition in the images that I have collected which have given me ideas about what type of game I am going to be creating, I kept
the idea of the nebula and I used it a lot in my mood board. The reason the nebula was repetitive in image is because I want that to be the
face of the game such as main menu and end menu and logo for the game, the reason for this is because its fascinating and bring people in to
look at it. I also used the idea of planets a lot because it shows planet and other planets and moons the reason is because you will be able to
choose which planet you want to knock about in customizations as there will be different options and it will be your choice dependent on
what you unlock in game.
The colour scheme is black with multiple different colours around it to represent the universe the reason that these colours are repeated is
because they are the colours of our universe and space . The reason that the sun is white in the image and I am using a white sun is because I
want my game to also have some facts and science about it, using a white sun is its actual colour rather than yellow and orange as its set in
space and not our atmosphere. The nebula is going to be made up of a multitude of colours which is why I chose different images of nebulas
from space to base my nebula design off.
The tone of the game is mystery as it will show the different planets and things in the universe, fore example planets stars nebulas and black
holes, this will show mystery in the background of the game and share the mystery with the person playing the game this sets a mysterious
tone to the game.
The mood of the board is to try and use different planets and space ideas so that it creates a mysterious mood I believe this mood sets a tone
for the game I'm creating as well as the mood board does. I included 1 font which is shown and used in pong the reason I like this font is
because its simple and from a memorable arcade game.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
My mood board will influence my product because I have chosen different images that represent the game that I intend to create and give off the ideas that
I'm trying to go for when creating it, in various different ways. My mood board will influence my game as it takes ideas of the colour scheme of different
things in space, for example nebulas black holes and the sun, this shows and sets a guideline for me to follow when creating the game. I will also focus the
main planet around earth which is a influence from my mood board it’s the main focused planet and I believe that it is a good starting planet until you
customize it and unlock new one, expanding into the solar system. I will also be influenced from the mood board by the way that the scoring system has
been set out on pong I think that I will use that idea on my own game.
Overall my mood board will influence my final product in numerous different ways and is useful as it gives me a starting idea to go off before making the
final product or the experiment and gives me a good idea of what I want to create and how I want to set it out.
