2. Initial Reaction
• My initial reaction is that I am not that great at animating so I am going to
be created a game that Is fairly simplistic to some degree whilst also
adding element to make it aesthetically pleasing to those viewing it.
• I think I may lean towards some kind of car game with an aspects of
enemies that will come towards and you would have to shoot or dodge
them to be able to pass through the lane that they are in moving towards
the character.
• I feel somewhat overwhelmed by this project as I can see this challenging
me the most out of any other project so far.
• Animation is not my strong point but I will have to adapt and overcome
the situation in front of me.

Eating a dolphin will scale
growth significantly larger
than regular fish
Sound effects
waves
Eating noise/ ping as the
character grows
Fish counter noise
Simple background, blue
sea, blue sky
Moving background, clouds,
birds etc
Ominous repetitive track
playing throughout
Starter menu
End game screen with
score counter of
amount of fish eaten
7. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected?
Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
How will your mood board influence your final product?
at the moment I am leaning more towards a car racing kind of game with different
elements such as, collecting tokens that in return will reduce the amount of time on
your score. The aspect of the character car being able to shoot to destroy object in
front of it. Specific enemy cars will be able to fire back that will deplete more damage
at a reduced fire rate whereas the character car will have a fast fire rate will less
damage output. I have selected images of cars as these style of cars are the ones I
wish to use. I've included pictures of tokens as these will be collected in my game. I
found an image of car lanes which could be a suitable background for my game that
will be simplistic enough to animate
