The document outlines the pre-production plans for a game, including choosing a cartoony art style, taking inspiration from other games' unit and training systems, selecting fonts to set the tone, and listing the software and schedule needed. Potential issues and solutions are also addressed, such as ensuring work is backed up in case of corruption or software issues.

1. Pre-Production
By Daniel Thompson

2. Style sheet
I chose this picture to show off the type of art style I want my game to have. I would like it
to have somewhat of a cartoony comedic feel while also have serious gameplay. This
could help create more of a casual vibe for not so intense players. I will use the cartoony
style for the characters in my game and make sure the background is rich in detail but not
too well done otherwise attention could be drawn from the main feature of the game.
The game will include a similar unit and turret menu to Age of War and will have the
simplicity/ease of access in which the pictured one does. I will also be taking the idea of a
training queue for units as it makes the experience easier for the player so they know
what they’re doing.

3. Style Sheet
Exp
Ages
I want to use these fonts in the title to give the game a first impression on the
players. I want to give off a old time vibe with a hint of ‘what’s to come’ (War and
conquest).
