The document outlines an initial plan for a character-focused adventure game project. It describes the creator's initial reaction to make a game with character portraits and sprites. A mood board is presented analyzing repeated colors, imagery styles, fonts, and mood that will influence the pixel art-style horror game. A schedule is provided with weekly plans over 5 weeks including production experiments, research, proposal, and evaluation. Finally, 7 source materials are listed that will be used including indie video games with a similar style or theme.

2. Initial Reaction
• My initial reaction was to think about what
kind of game I could make. I am good at
drawing and creating characters, so I want to
make something character focused, like an
adventure game. I can create character
portraits for in-game conversations and
gameplay sprites.
