The document discusses pre-production plans for a zombie-themed video game. It includes descriptions of the game's color palette, fonts, border design, main character art style, and locations/equipment needed. A contingency plan addresses potential issues like computer problems or illness. Health and safety concerns about headaches, neck strain, and posture are also covered. A weekly schedule outlines an 8-day plan to create artwork for the background, enemies, weapons, health bar, and basic animation using Photoshop.

2. Style sheet
These are the main colours I will be
using when creating my game. I chose
these colours because they fit the
theme of the game I am going for. I will
use them all around the game in various
ways. For example the darker shade of
green will be used for the zombies them
selves, where as a more lighter shade
could be used for grass. I will use darker
colours for the zombies clothes and in
the design in general. I will use lighter
colours for the player. To distinguish
good from bad.
Zombie Scratch. I like this font because it is very unique. It look
like it would fit my game very well. Specifically I like the colour
and the effects between the letters.
I like this font because of the texture and the way it looks
like an actual zombie. This font is quite bold and very eye
catching, perfect for a video game title. The individual letters
strand out making it easy to read. When you look at the
thing as a whole the whole thing is eye catching and looks
good.
This font is the font I’ll probably be going with. I like this
one because its bold and very eye catching. It looks almost
cartoony but in an impactful more realistic way. I like this
because that’s exactly the style I'm going for with my
game.

3. Style sheet
I want to use something similar to this as my border in my game. I
like this because I think it would fit a zombie theme very well. It
look simple but with the right things inside it, it could look quite
creepy. I also think it would fit well with the cartoon look I am going
for.
I like this because the design is simple and
looks like it will fit well with the rest of the
game. I will change the colours and part of the
design to make it my own. I also think that the
art style is similar to the art style I am going for.
I like this design for the main character,
he looks like a cartoon character. He
also fits the design and overall style I am
going for. I think I will use a similar art
style for the zombies. I will just change
the colour and shape them differently.
