Louis Robinson plans to create a video game for this task. He is considering making a first person shooter, challenge game, or racing game in the style of classic arcade games from the 1980s with bright colors. While inexperienced in pixel art, he thinks the task will be enjoyable. Louis does not plan to focus on realistic or high quality graphics due to time constraints, aiming to complete the game in 3 weeks.

2. Initial Reaction
My initial thoughts after going through the video game theory/lecture were that I will
most likely find this task enjoyable and exciting as I am into gaming myself, however I
may struggle producing the game as I am inexperienced in pixel art. I was thinking I
could make either a single player first person shooter (FPS), a challenge game like an
obstacle course or either a racing game. I may even make my games in the style of
classic 80’s arcade games with bright vibrant text and colours, I think I will be good at
creating ideas for this task and making a product which is unique and authentic. I don’t
plan on making my game very realistic or have high quality graphics as I simply wont
have time or the resources, I plan on completing the production in 3 weeks and have a
final product which is playable.

6. Mood Board Analysis
There is repetition in my mood board for example there are many aerial view games and
side scroller games, this is because I intend to make my game in the style of either a side
scroller or aerial view game. I have also added many zombie games into my mood board
because I plan on producing a zombie survival game, I have also used a few maze games in
my mood board as I plan on making the game map a maze. You can also see I have used a
lot of dark low key lighting images as I intend to make my game have a dark sinister tone as
it’s a zombie survival game. My mood board will influence my final product by giving me a
basis and plan of how I want my game to look.
