1. Initial Plans
Jake Greenwood

2. Initial Reaction
• I think this will be a good project for me
because I play a lot of video games at home,
so I have a lot of ideas of what to make. I think
I will make a game that relates to the game
that I researched. So all in all I like the brief
and I know what I’m going to do.

3. Mind Map
IDEAS
Wardens
sword
This will be a sword
fighting game where you
are warden sent to clear
out a castle full of
bandits. You make your
way through the castle
killing enemies and
eventually get to the boss
at the end. You get
rewards for killing high
level enemies such as a
sword. Killstreak
You have to survive waves of
enemies attacking you.
You’re held up in a house
with only a rifle but as you
progress you get more loot.
Just
jump
This is a traditional
side scrolled where
you jump over
enemies and
obstacles.

4. Mind Map
Wardens sword
In this game, you play as a
warden, wardens help
average citizens buy killing
dangerous people and
creatures, that may pose a
threat to the citizens. Your
character has been sent to
a local fortress that’s been
over run by bandits, your
objective is to kill them all.
The game will be a 2D side scrolling
game. Your character will be able to
upgrade his weapons has he goes
along, however the more you progress
the harder it gets. The game is set in
medieval times in a fictional land.
The background will
change as you procced
through the level, so at
the start you will be in a
village and at the end you
will be at the top of a
castle, but most of the
game will take place inside
the castle.
Your enemies are bandits
who have taken over a
castle that’s local to a
small village, so the
bandits pose a big threat
to the villagers. The
bandits have a leader and
if you manage to kill him
the rest will flee.
Wardens are called
upon because of there
amazing sword fighting
abilities

5. Mood Board

6. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected?
Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• There are a lot of similar colours in all the images, for instance
there's a lot of blue and red but no green or orange, also the
colours that are there aren’t bright and don’t stand either
because there dull or there covered in mud and blood.
• The themes are all the same, violent and medieval, and they
have a dark tone to them.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• I will use the same style of colours, for example what ever
colour I use it will be dulled down.

7. Schedule
WEEK OVERALL PLAN SPECIFIC TASKS
1 Case Study, Initial
Response, Product
Research
 I will research one game of my choice. I
will come up with an idea for a game I
could make. I will then do primary and
secondary research on video games.
2 Audience Research,
Production Experiments,
Proposal, Planning
 I will do research to see what my
target audience is. I will make some
video game experiments using the
same software that I’ll use to create my
final product. I will do a proposal for my
video game. And I’ll do some final bits
of planning before I start making the
game.
3 Production  I work on actually animating the
game, using Photoshop.
4 Production  I will finish off animating the game,
and add music and sound effects using
premier pro.
5 Evaluation  I will evaluate everything that I have
done in the past four weeks.
