This document presents research for a game concept. The research included primary research through interviews and surveys to understand player preferences. Secondary research such as existing surveys was also used. A mindmap and moodboard were created that included visuals to inspire the ancient warrior character and throwing knife weapon. A questionnaire with pie charts showed player preferences for art style, color schemes, and setting. The research concluded that an ancient warrior in a deserted forest will be sketched, incorporating elements from the research but leaving some aspects open-ended for players.

2. GAME RESEARCH
This presentation will present the results from my research
and explain how this information will help me develop my
concept art sketches and final product.

3. TYPES OF RESEARCH
I have done primary research such as interviews and surveys asking the
people what they thought so I could develop my sketches, I have used this
so and I also used secondary information such as surveys. I only used
interviews and surveys for my primary research because I feel that using a
questionnaire would not be as effective because this is quantitative data. I
used surveys in my secondary research because for this I will not be using
this data as much.

4. MINDMAP & MOODBOARD
I have this image of an
ancient warrior because I
want my character to look
like this, only a little
similar.
I thought of the throwing knife
because it is a weapon that has
a long range, that will come in
handy because he could easily
throw them from a distance.
I added a picture of a wild
bear because that is the
enemy of the game.
I initially wanted to
have my ancient
warrior in an old
kingdom but that
was to basic an I
wanted a original
idea
I got my idea of a
throwing knife because
when I was looking for a
long range weapon I
saw gun and throwing
knife and it would be
strange if you saw
ancient warrior having a
gun!

5. GAME RESEARCH
Your game research slides should go on this section with a slide where you
explain how this research has helped to inform your game idea and the
choice of items/ characters and environments you will sketch.

6. QUESTIONNAIRE
Present the results of your questionnaire over the next few slides. You
must have a pie chart for each question and explain how this data has
helped you to develop your game idea and how it has helped you develop
your initial concept art sketches.

13. CONCLUSION
all this data has helped me develop my game because I used something
from most of the games and included some of my original ideas – I will
sketch a throwing knife , a deserted forest and an ancient warrior ; leaving
the mystery of how he got there open to the individual player.

14. GAME RESEARCH #1
Game title Call of duty Black ops Zombies
Publisher Call of duty is published by Activision
System PlayStation, X box and PC
Genre It is a war/shooter game
Release date November 9, 2010
Graphical Style Photorealism

15. GAME RESEARCH: EVALUATION #1
Black ops 2 is a first person war/shooting game that allows you to play with
players around the world in different places. The game is a realistic type
game (one where you can die from falling from high places) so it uses the
art form of photorealism.

16. GAME RESEARCH

17. GAME RESEARCH
The game uses photorealism to make the game realistic and bring the
characters to life. This makes the game special because it really makes the
game fit in.

18. GAME RESEARCH #2
Game title Naruto Shippūden
Publisher The publisher of the game is Bandai
Namco
System PlayStation, x box and pc
Genre Anime
Release date 2003/ July
Graphical Style Exaggeration

19. GAME RESEARCH: EVALUATION #2
Naruto Shippūden is a complex game that looks very simple, with the bright
colours the game looks like a child friendly game.
It uses exaggeration because it is a fighting game made for the younger
generations so a punch will be exaggerated. The affects of this is good
because it makes it more child friendly without having to make the game
simpler.

20. GAME RESEARCH

21. GAME RESEARCH
I will use this because in this game every character is unique and has a
different technique. The game uses a combination of different styles to
create the characters and the backround

22. GAME RESEARCH #3
Game title Dragon Ball z
Publisher The publisher is Namco Bandai
System PlayStation , X box and pc
Genre Anime

Graphical Style Exaggeration

23. GAME RESEARCH: EVALUATION #3
Dragon ball z is the most famous out of all the popular anime games
because it has a good characters and superb graphics. It uses bright
primary colours to make it look more appealing and have many versions of
this same game.

24. GAME RESEARCH

25. GAME RESEARCH: REVIEW #3
I will use something from dragon ball z such as the bright colours and the
complex characters. This will help me with my sketch because it will give
me something to build towards.
