This document provides pre-production details for a horror game, including audience profile, style guidelines, screenshot layouts, sound effects, contingency planning, and health and safety considerations. The primary audience is described as males aged 16-24, with a secondary audience of both males and females aged 16 and older. Style guidelines evaluate dim, desaturated colors commonly seen in pixelated horror games. Two screenshot layouts are provided showing initial game objectives. A list of suggested sound effects and music is also included. Contingency planning addresses potential issues like missing work days and file corruption. Health and safety focuses on avoiding risks from water spills, tripping hazards, repetitive strain, and equipment overheating.

3. Style sheet
I chose to evaluate the colours of these images because they all
have one main thing in common and that is how dim and
desaturated the colours are. As these are shots from other
pixelated horror games, the lighting and colours are very dim. Just
by looking at these images, its easy to distinguish what genre they
are from because the darkness and the unpleasant colours catch
your eyes, and its easy to determine that they are a part of the
horror game genre. All of the images I have chosen also have
simple pixelated designs, and are not too detailed to the point
where they look realistic. Even without a lot of details in the walls
and characters, the images still look good as they have appropriate
lighting as well as colours.
