After collecting survey results, the author decided to design characters with segmented arms and stick to their original environment art style, despite close second question results, because it fits their pixelated theme. Weapon Art 1 was clearly most popular, but the author believes the higher quality image influenced votes and will consider all feedback in sketches. The survey provided beneficial early feedback but could be improved with a longer format if full survey features were available.

Main features and flat plans
This document contains 3 sections about main features and flat plans for a media studies project. The sections discuss scanned documents that did not come out clearly with a home scanner. The documents will be rescanned at college and uploaded to a blog to showcase the clear sketches and aspects of the different plans.
Initial ideas
The document outlines initial ideas to create concept art for a medieval game, including environment, character, and weapon designs. The concept art will start as pen drawings but may also include pixel art. While most sketches will be uncolored, the final drawings should be fully colored to depict what the designs would look like in an actual game. References images of medieval games, characters, and weapons are provided.
Evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of the author's final major project (FMP) which involved creating different types of art, including character art, environment art, and sprite art with a medieval theme. The author discusses their process, including doing research to help with character designs, experimenting with colors, and creating pieces with varying levels of technical skill. They also reflect on improving quality, meeting deadlines through time management, and receiving positive feedback from their target audience through a survey. Overall, the author believes they successfully completed the FMP while developing their production skills and creating a consistent body of work to a high standard.

2. initial plans
The document provides initial reactions and plans for creating a video game. It discusses preferring to use 3D graphics over 2D as 3D allows for more detail. It also notes appreciation for having an open topic rather than being constrained to a specific theme. A mind map then combines ideas of an escape the tower game set during a zombie apocalypse where the player must escape and stop the virus from spreading. A mood board analysis reflects repetition of zombie themes to influence the final product and allow comparisons to other similar games. A schedule outlines plans to research the audience, create proposals, develop the 2D game over 4 weeks, and allow the final week for evaluation.
4. production experiments
1) The artist created variations of a cowboy pixel art asset by adjusting thickness, opacity, and scaling to experiment with different levels of detail. While too detailed to use for the entire game, the wild west theme and color scheme could work.
2) A walk cycle animation was created by copying and editing frames to show movement. This helped determine that characters should be shorter from a top-down view and backgrounds plain for visibility.
3) Separating a tank's turret and body to animate firing provided lessons on camera angles, animation, and adding recoil for realism. While the theme is different, explosions and gunfire effects could be used. Elements from the experiments informed decisions around art style, perspective,
8. evaluation
The document summarizes the student's process of creating a pixel art dungeon video game for an evaluation. They began by researching existing games in the genre to inform their design. Their final product included pixel art graphics, obstacles blocking the exit that must be defeated, and different levels accessed by entering and exiting rooms. They based aspects like color scheme, character movement, and location design on games they had studied. Overall, they felt their time management was good but graphics could be improved with more time.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Summary of primary research
- 2. After collecting my results I have decided to design arm in various segments when I come to drawing my sketches and my final pieces of concept art. Even if the results weren't in favour โCharacter Art 1โ I would still most likely go for that type of design because I know that the final product will good. QUESTION 1
- 3. The second question results were quite close together but the 2nd environment art got the most results, but I will stick be going with the style of the 1st piece of environment art because Iโm going for a pixelated theme as I am using the Gamemaker Engine to create the environment concept art. QUESTION 2
- 4. And the final question it was very clear on which one was the most popular and that was โWeapon Art 1โ, but I believe that this might of chosen because of it being a higher quality image but in an case I will take the feedback and interpret that into my sketches of weapons. QUESTION 3
- 5. I believe that the feedback was very beneficial for my project but I think that could be improved if the I made the survey longer, but I was unable to do that because of not being able to acquire a full membership on โSurveyMonkeyโ, so after gathering this feedback I will take into consideration the types of designs that were chosen and use that to create my own sketches of concept art.
