Ben Harris outlines initial plans for a video game project. He proposes making a PC game involving character levels that include dodging objects, jumping, climbing, and fighting enemies. His only current idea is inspired by a previous pixel art game he created. Harris then provides more details on his process, including creating a mind map of game ideas, collecting mood board images with dark, post-apocalyptic themes to influence the game's design, and scheduling the major project milestones over five weeks from case studies to production to evaluation.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Initial Reaction
At the current moment I don’t have a lot of ideas, the only couple of ideas that I have are making a PC
game where you have to complete small levels as some type of character. The levels could include
dodging objects or people and or jumping over things as well as climbing, and maybe fighting enemies.
When I made my Irn-Bru advergame, I was quite good at making the pixel art characters. However, that is
the only idea that I can think of at this moment in time.
7. Mood Board Analysis
The images that I have collected are all very similar to each other. They all are quite dark images that are set in a post
apocalyptic setting or a war setting. They are all side scrolling games and use the same colours. The colours that are
repeated in most of the images that I gathered are black, white, and greys. There is also a few dark greens as well as a
few sunset orange colours. The mood from the images gives of a very dark, depressing look as most of the colours are
quite dark. One of the reasons for that is probably because most of the images that I selected and gathered were post-
apocalyptic and war themed, as I am making my video game post-apocalyptic. The style of the images I collected vary
from pixel art to a cartoony look as well as a detailed side view. The fonts in the images that have text are quite cartoon
looking and in one of the images is bold. A lot of the images that I have chosen for my mood board are desaturated,
which fits in with the post-apocalyptic theme.
The mood board will influence my final product in many ways, one being that it will influence the colour palette I will
use when creating my video game. It will also determine the art style that I use which has to be pixel art but I am using
the mood board as inspiration for the type of pixel art I use.

Experiments, Proposal, Planning
-Write about my games target audience and explain why they are my audience.
-Create a mock up video game, practising for my final design (video game). Experiment
with pixel art and the tools on Photoshop.
- Plan my video game out so I have a clear view on what I am making.
-Complete proposal which includes: Title of my game; Rationale; Concept of game, and
write how I will evaluate my video game.
3
Production Create my video game using Photoshop.
4

5
Evaluation Evaluate my video game through analysing my game and its outcomes.
Reference my game and complete a self-reflection. I will need to explain how my
video game turned out, and will need to talk about what I would change if I were
to do it again. Explain the positives and negatives of my video game, and then go
on to talk about what I like the most about it.
