Here are the key points I would make in evaluating my research: - Product research allowed me to analyze existing successful games and identify common elements to include in my own design, such as bright colors, 2D gameplay, etc. However, it did not provide insights directly from players. - My questionnaire received a good number of responses but some questions could have been improved based on feedback. Distributing it online made it easy to reach people but limited my ability to probe responses. - Only conducting two short interviews provided limited perspectives. Speaking directly with players provided valuable insights but a larger sample size would have been better. - Overall, combining different methods helped overcome some individual limitations but future research could involve distributing surveys at events

This is a pixel game and
the style of the game is
similar of what I want
my game to be like.
The colors are bright
and like the sky what is
blue and the trees and
ground what are green
The title is basic but stands out to make you
want to look at the logo so you would want to
look at the logo because its orange the colour
orange stands out vey well.
The house is very basic so that will also
relate to my game that I am making
because if I make houses I want them to
be diffent rather then detailed and then
copy and pasted
The game from this
image looks 2d and
that’s what I want my
game to be and by that
I want the charters to
walk left and right

This game has
multiple locations so
the color will vary in
what location where
you are at. The game
is mostly dark colors
because you are in
prison and most
prisons are not full
of color they are
mostly dark like
brown and black and
white The game camera location is a birds eye
view so the game is still 2d but you can
walk around in every location
The title of the game is basic but stands
out clearly because its big and bold so
its easy to see
The prison what
they are running
away from is
made out pixels
but in some
games they are
normal buildings
and not made
out of pixels
People will want to play this game because
there was one before this one and if people
liked the first one then they would want to
play the second one maybe because its
changed or got harder in some way

6. Research Analysis
• What common features do the researched products have?
• All the games what I have chosen are pixel games because that's what my game is going to be pixels. Most
of the games what I have chosen have bright colours and that is also how I want the colours In my game
• The games what I have chosen have a 2D view or a birds eye view and this is how I want my game to be 2D
so you can only go left or right
• Another reason why I have chosen these games is because they look similar in the game because if you
looked at the background or the sky they would look similar so all you would have to do is change the
background slightly so it doesn’t look exactly the same
• What aspects of the research will you include within your on work?
• The aspects of the research I will put into my work is the set out of the games, colours and it will be 2D
the colours will be bright like blue green red and then I would add brown for the ground so when its in 2D
you will be able to see under the grass but if there was nothing there then it would not look right and then
by adding brown and dark brown mixed together it will look like you can see under ground
