1. Evaluation

2. Research
• Research and experimentation really helped me a lot during production as
it gave me a really good knowledge of what I was doing and how to
progress through my game. I could have been more thorough researching
games for inspiration because then i would have had more of a clear idea
as to what i wanted to base my game on, but i am still happy with the
amount of research i did and the end product.

3. Planning/Pre Production
• Planning majorly helped my final product by much like the research helping
me with a lot of vital info i needed to complete the rest of my project.
Some weaknesses were the lack of variety in the colour scheme and the
depth of the audience types. Some strengths were the preliminary designs
for my game as they were detailed but they still gave me room to improve
on my end product.

4. Time Management
• I managed my time well and I think my final product reflects that, although
it was only made in a lot less time than my first piece was I still think it is a
good product. With additional time I would of added a lot more to my
game as the first version was deleted a day before the deadline. If I had
more time on production I would of made the game a lot more detailed
and longer.

5. Technical Qualities
I think i have done a good job on all the technical qualities of my game such as the
animations in the game. I think the animations were a strong point for me and I
found them very fun and easy to do.

6. Aural Qualities
Although my end product had no sound due to it getting saved over in
the version before. It had 8 bit music i designed myself and sound fx
such as death sounds, injury sounds, and character movement, but in
the end product they weren't included.

7. Aesthetic Qualities
I think I have done a fairly good job with my visuals in the game but in some
places, such as detailing could have been done slightly better, but still with the
scale I was working on and the 8 bit style I was using I think I managed to get a
lot of the details I needed to included

8. Audience Appeal
I do think my game has appealed to my select target audience well because of
the music, characters and story. I think it appeals to the 16-21 year old audience
as it is not too long to play and includes topics they would be interested in.
it also appeals to the male audience as it includes a lot of topics they are
interested in.
