The document provides an evaluation of the student's production process for their final major project (FMP) creating a game. It summarizes their research process, planning, time management, technical and aesthetic qualities of the game, audience appeal, and feedback from peers. The student felt their research was effective but they could have managed time better. Technically, they were pleased with how they implemented scene transitions and use of opacity. Aesthetically, they were happy with the art style and use of opacity to blend elements. Based on surveys, they tried to appeal to common interests but found the target demographics hardest. Peer feedback praised backgrounds, characters and concept but noted the need for a longer story and finished plot. In their summary,

2. Production Process Evaluation

3. Research
I think that for my FMP I have used my time to research
effectively, I have found ways to also incorporate research from
my pervious game, I really enjoyed doing my research again
because it was about games I have played before and media in
general that I enjoy. I looked into multiple games, tv shows, art
styles and other random things like character design and music/
sound effect choices. I think that overall, my research was useful
and helped me create my FMP and create my planning section
with ease.

4. Planning
After research I began my planning, I think that my research
helped me plan a lot out clearly to give me a thorough idea
before I began production. My research helped me create a
general idea of what types of tyles I planned to use as well as
tone, theme, plot design and sounds. Once I settled on a set
theme and assets I could then branch out and slowly go over any
previous planning I had and then develop it to make it perfect. I
made storyboards, tables and concept boards along side regular
planning to get my ideas out there and to help me visualize what
I was creating.

5. Time Management
I think that once again I could have managed my time a little better within the
writing since I had to rush my evaluation because of the time I wasted having
to check through my PowerPoints for slide that I have not fully completed. On
the production side, I think my time management has been okay, but I could
have given myself a little longer. since i don't know where to go with the
ending of my game.

6. Technical Qualities
One technical quality for my game I think has to be how I made scenes switch
out with others by having multiple slides that, when put together, looked like
blood pouring down the screen. I really liked this as it looked somewhat
smooth/ satisfying and also just looked cool in general and fitting to my
theme of being somewhat disturbing and unsettling. Another technical
quality could also be how I've used the opacity setting on the brushes to
create depth and other details such as lighting, mist and smoke. I think that
these all add a nice effect to my work and makes it just that little bit more
interesting.

7. Aesthetic Qualities
I think that one aesthetic quality was the overall art style, I'm really happy
with the way I designed the backgrounds and characters, especially the very
first background that you see which is set in a graveyard at sunset. This is
another time where I am happy that I played around with the opacity level of
the brush since it added a nice effect to the background and blended
everything together perfectly. This can especially be seen in the sky set
behind the buildings. One more feature that I liked was when the player gets
teleported into a strange and rundown room and the light flickers and
eventually turns off completely, this was done by changing layers quickly and
playing with the opacity again.

8. Audience Appeal
I think that m game successfully appealed to the audiences demands as I
managed to keep the "psychological horror" theme and didn't have too many
repeating jump scares or boring blot points as I believe that you're always
kept on your feet. Due to my survey results I was also sure to keep an
interesting and eye-catching art style / design as that's what people said was
the most noticeable in games. I also tried my best to appeal to the age range
and gender that appeared most times in my survey, this was definitely the
hardest to appeal to however I feel like I did It somewhat okay.

the product?

13. Peer Feedback Summary
I think that overall I could improve how I planned the plot for my game so I
can properly complete it and it doesn’t seem like I am missing anything. I also
know that out of all production my strong point was definitely designing
backgrounds, locations and any other creative things similar to that. If I were
to redo this, I would make sure to have a set plot, so I don’t struggle when
thinking about what comes next then having my work appear loose or poorly
done.

14. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer
feedback?
– I agree that I needed to properly finish my game
so it wasnt left on a cliffhanger.
• What do you disagree with from your peer
feedback?
– I think tht the sizing of my characters wwas okay
and fit well with the design/ style.
