The document provides details on the initial plans for a pixelated platform game called "Step Jump Hop". It will follow the character Hancock and his revolver as they go on an adventure through dangerous levels to retrieve stolen coins from the boss. Photoshop will be used to create the pixel art assets like coins, characters, and enemy clones. The target audience is younger teens aged 13+ due to the child-like gameplay, though older teens aged 16+ may also enjoy it. Earlier discarded ideas included an adventure sandbox game and strategy game due to the increased difficulty in creating those genres.

5. Mood Board Analysis
The repetition I've used is pixelated characters. I will create my game
all by using pixel. This can be easy to create, a creative and random
world. The colours I have used have a basic colour scheme as it is
mostly have blocked colours that are bright and they standout to most
of the audience. The psychographics for this particular audience would
mostly be targeted towards type A. This is because type A are the
audience who are concerned about their actions and the actions made
in the game has features that could lengthen the duration of the game.
If you went down the wrong path this aspect of the game may provide
tension to what the audience could want.
My mood board will influence my final product because I will be able
to go back to get some assets to help me develop my production plan
the mind map can help me reference ideas I may have forgotten or
need: such as sounds in the game, art styles, image detail. e.g. grass
pixelated.

6. Informal Proposal
Current Idea
Concept The game is called Step Jump Hop this is because the main actions the protagonist is
going to do. It’s about a platform game where a character called Hancock, and his
revolver go onto an adventure to find the boss who stole his coins in order to get his
coins back he goes onto an adventure, but its not that simple there are may
dangerous foes he needs to eliminate to get to the final stage.
Type of
products you
would make
• Yellow golden coins, two main characters and clones of enemies that are trying to
stall Hancock's time.
What you will
need to make
them
I will need Photoshop and am going to animate using that software.
Audience The main audience will mostly be addressed to younger teens of age 13+ this is
because of the child like game scheme that will primarily catch and drawn attention
to the age rate or secondary audience is ages of 16+ this age rate isn't too far off
from the primary age rate the secondary age rate has a similar time difference
because there could be teens of older ages that may like my game

7. Choices
Discounted ideas Reasons for not choosing this
project
An adventure sandbox game • I didn’t choose this because it would
have been hard to create an mini open
world game where the main character
explores to find an objective or to
complete something of interest
Strategy game • This would have been hard for me to do
because it was the hardest genre of
game to create and to understand the
rules of.
