Initial Plans
William Thirlaway
Initial Reaction
• I have a few basic ideas which I could do for my
project that need giving a bit more thought in
order to make them a usable idea.
• I will be limited to what I’ll be able to achieve due
to technical limitations, as well as the skills and
time required to make more complex games. This
means I’ll have to stick to simplistic 2D graphics,
rather than full 3D graphics.
Mind Map
Mood Board
Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• Colours used are mostly browns, green, and grey, due to the earthy
nature of the game genre.
• The games were often in a cartoony or pixelated style, rather than a
realistic style.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• I will likely use these colours in my product in order to stick with the
theme of the genre.
