In the first week, the producer wrote ideas for their game, specific features, and inspiration from other games and films. In the second week, they began writing the game's scenario and background story for the main character. Research was conducted on game visuals, movies, the target audience, and landscape ideas. Sketches were made of character and weapon designs to have a traditional Roman look with modern elements. A watercolor picture and digital illustrations were created of the main character and background setting for the game.

games and films gave
me inspiration.

7. For the first week I also
began writing about
what the target
audience would be for
my game and why I
wanted it that age.

8. For the second week I
began writing the
scenario for my game
including why I have
done this, what I expect
to achieve throughout
this.

9. Market Research

10. I began to write the background story for my main
character Tanik, which included past wars and reasons
to why he's in power at the moment

11. I began to create some ideas that I wanted my character to go off,
these don’t look much like romans/gladiators but I was using them
for there clothes and certain aspects of there design.

12. I began to create some ideas that I
wanted my character to go off, I went
back to the roman idea with just the
main clothes and armour on him
with a few touches.

13. I began to research into
some ideas on what I
wanted the landscape to
be on, I wanted to keep it
traditional to the roman
buildings but also give it a
futuristic feel and look
towards it.

14. Some more research designs

15. Some more research designs

16. I began to sketch out some ideas on what I wanted my character to may
look like, I wanted to keep with the traditional look but maybe add a few
touches to it

17. Here are some weapon and some armour designs similar to the other ones

18. Some more sketches on what I may want my character to look like
including badges

19. Here is my watercolour picture of my main character unfortunately it didn’t go to plan as
water had gone onto the page and unfortunately some of the colours ran including the light
grey sky but overall I think its better than what it was and pleased with it.

20. Here I have started to begin to create my overall main
character, the drawing to the top left is what I wanted
to go off for the main image, I started to go around
the body parts and armour with the pen tool and then
coloured them in with the same colours as the original
image and then used the gradient tool to give the
character a better look.

Here I have started
to begin to create
my overall
background, the
picture to the left is
what I wanted to go
off for the main back
image I started to go
around the pillars
with the pen tool
and then coloured
them in with the
same colours as the
original image and
then placed my
overall character
design onto it
including ROME X
sign.

Here are some of the steps that I had taken to
create my overall finished background, I
wanted to include shaded images of people in
the background to give it a better look and to
make you concentrate more on the main
character. I used Illustrator and the pen tool
just like before.

24. This was the finished
piece.
