The student created experiments to help plan their final product for a pixel art video game. They started by creating a dark nighttime city theme background. Then they added simple buildings and a cat character to collect coins. For their final product, the student plans to keep the night city theme and possibly include the cat character. They also want to make a coin collecting game, which was tested in the experiments, as it will be simple to complete in the time given.

1. Experiments

2. Process
• When starting to create my
experiment, I had to change
everything into pixels. Then
before I could start adding
animation I had to create a
background, so I chose a
dark theme. Then I chose a
dark blue for the sky and
grey and white for the road
because maybe for my final
piece I want to do dark
theme in a city type of
environment.

3. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you include in
your final product?
• I will include the night city theme for my final product
because I think that it would look good with the bright
and dark colours together rather than being all dark.
However I haven't decided if I want to use an animal
for my video game or a person. If I do choose to do an
animal I may need to start on it a little before schedule
this is because it’s a pixel game and I want the
character to look like what its meant to be rather than
shapes put together and rush at the last minute.

4. Process
• After creating the
background for my
experiment I started to add
buildings to give me a rough
idea of what I would like to
maybe create for my final
project.
• After that I created the
character of the game
which was a cat because it
seemed simple to create at
the time but it did take a
little while to do because it
was all in pixels

5. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
For my final product I will include a night themed
game like I have in my experiment and I will
include a cat maybe as well depending how long I
have to make my product because I will need to
plan my project well so that I can finish it on time.
But also to help me to decide whether i need to
start on it a little early.

6. Process
• Finally after creating
the character and
making it look like its
travelling, i started to
create little coins that
the cat had to get and
avoid within the
experiment, so that it
gave me an idea of
what type of game i
could create in my
final product.

7. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
I will include the coin collecting kind of game
because I think that it will be simple and easy
to make but also it will mean i wont have to
rush about the little details and it will be
within my limits.
