The document analyzes the Darksiders video game trailer released by Vigil Games in 2010. It notes the trailer's use of contrasting environments and character designs, adherence to biblical archetypes, fast pacing, and atmospheric effects. Through epic music, voiceovers, and dramatic scenes, the trailer depicts the game as high-intensity action/adventure focusing on the protagonist War and large-scale boss battles between heaven and hell forces.

The document summarizes three existing video game products: Broforce, Super Time Force, and The Legend of Zelda. Broforce is a side-scrolling action game where players take on the roles of exaggerated masculine action heroes. Super Time Force is also side-scrolling but includes a time rewind mechanic that allows players to continue even after dying. The Legend of Zelda is an open world classic for the NES where players control Link to collect fragments and rescue Zelda from Ganon. All three games have different graphics styles and gameplay modes.
Research
The document discusses several classic video games and their design elements. It notes that many games use scroll backgrounds and limit character movement within the set background. Games also tend to get progressively more difficult through levels and changing backgrounds. Sound is used to provide feedback to players about collecting rewards or facing consequences. These elements influence player engagement and performance. The document concludes with plans to incorporate a scroll background with depth, contrasting character colors, and limited character animations into a new game design.
Initial plans
The document outlines Daniel Firth's initial plans for a video game project based on the musical "We Will Rock You". It includes ideas for the game such as a side-scrolling or above-view style, cutscenes that are affected by player choices, and playable characters from the musical. Mind maps show additional ideas for the gameplay, aesthetics using dark colors, and a skill tree. A mood board analyzes repeated elements that will influence the final product. A schedule outlines the production process over 5 weeks, and a bibliography lists 7 sources for audience research, inspiration and planning.
Project 4 Research
The document summarizes reviews of the games Divinity 2 and Hades. For Divinity 2, it discusses the combat system using action points, character depth but some jarring comedic elements, impressive elemental graphics that can become obscured, a choice-based story, rich world design, and mixed voice acting and music. For Hades, it praises the fast-paced responsive combat, well-written mythological characters though some are underdeveloped, beautiful graphics, serviceable main story, immersive feel through graphics/music/combat, and flawless voice acting and audio design. Both games are noted to have room for improved stories but strong combat mechanics and feel. The research will inspire an original combat system and learn

Unit 1 activity 3 game research
This document provides instructions for an assignment to research three games with similar art styles and genres to the concept being developed. Students are asked to complete a table with details of three games, write an evaluation of each game's graphical style and how it complements the genre, and include annotated images from each game. The evaluations should explain how the information can be used to develop the student's own concept art and final design. Three sample games are then analyzed - Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies using photorealism, Naruto Shippuden using exaggeration, and Dragon Ball Z using exaggeration.
5. Pre-Production
The document provides an audience profile and target demographic for a new game being created. It aims to attract heterosexual male children aged 7-12 from a lower middle class background through cartoon-style non-graphic violence and a teenage/young adult male protagonist. It also aims to interest "achievers" through collectables, coins, and achievements in the game. Similar games referenced include Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Cuphead and Shovel Knight. It also outlines plans for sound effects, contingency planning, and health and safety considerations.
Research techniques
The document discusses research techniques for classic and modern games. It provides examples of primary and secondary research methods. For classic games, the document examines The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past through primary research by playing the game. For modern games, it analyzes Fallout: New Vegas using secondary research sources. Both games are evaluated on aspects like combat, story, characters and sound. The document concludes that varied combat and open worlds are strengths, while basic stories and combat can become repetitive weaknesses.
Initial Plans
The document outlines initial plans for a personal video game project, including assets, mechanics, and style influences. It will feature a retro 8-bit roleplaying game with three playable characters - a male mage, female archer, and villain. Inspiration comes from games like Undertale, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, Mario, and Zelda. A mood board shows inspiration from Earthbound, Final Fantasy, and these games. The informal proposal outlines a beat-em-up style game where the player fights monsters to help villagers, creating 8-bit assets in Photoshop. The target audience is children and teenagers ages 12+ of both genders. Skateboard prints and a video game art book were

Key details like blood on Tomb Raider's Lara Croft and a burning American flag in Bioshock are noted, along with how the covers portray the games' settings and main characters.
2. research for disco knight
The document summarizes research on existing turn-based RPG products and proposes design elements for a new RPG. Key elements of existing products included turn-based combat with heroes and enemies facing off, HP bars, character names on screen, and camera angles showing all characters. The proposed new RPG would use pixel graphics, HP bars, heroes and enemies facing off, possibly text boxes, and a camera angle showing all characters. An audience profile targets teens to adults by including interesting character clothing and designs in a fantasy setting with mature characters, including both male and female main characters and side characters to appeal to both genders. The game aims to appeal to casual players who enjoy rewards and progression at an affordable price.

The story follows Altair as he seeks to rebuild his standing within the Brotherhood after failing to protect the Apple and having the Assassin headquarters attacked.
Lullaby game
The document summarizes a horror/puzzle game called "Lullaby" where the player controls a young boy named Luke who wakes from a nightmare and explores his dark house in search of his father. As Luke explores, his fears and imagination transform the house into a frightening place filled with dangers. The game revolves around managing light levels, as staying in the dark too long will cause Luke to faint. The goal is to find ways to illuminate paths to stay safe from threats.
Piano tiles

5. pre production
The document provides details on the pre-production for a violent video game targeted towards male teenagers aged 16-18. It describes creating a rural background setting that can be damaged and affected by players' moves. Sound effects would include power-ups, knockouts, countdowns, taunts, and destroyed buildings. Contingency plans include saving work to OneDrive in case the computer stops working and doing work at home if unable to come to college. Potential health issues like eye strain, ear pain, back pain, and joint pain would be avoided by taking breaks, adjusting volume and posture.
Elements of storytelling for games
The document discusses key elements of storytelling for games. It identifies storyline, having a point or purpose, character personality and development, an interesting game world to explore, backstory, and a satisfying ending as important elements.

LOZ review
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is a classic role-playing adventure game released for the Super Nintendo in the early 1990s. Players control Link as he rescues Princess Zelda from the evil wizard Agahnim. The game features pixelated graphics and a top-down perspective in a fantasy world filled with monsters, dungeons, and items to collect. Though basic by modern standards, its gameplay and story helped establish many conventions of the Zelda franchise and were praised for their creativity within the technical limitations of the time period.

While the soundtrack is repetitive, the character development of Link and Zelda and story-driven gameplay make it enjoyable for retro game fans.
