2. initial plans (1)
- 2. Initial Reaction • Due to being limited to a 2 dimensional plane I think I will make rather a overhead game where the top of the sprite is visible, or a side scrolling game where the character moves along left and right. • An idea I have is a over the top game similar to the original X-com games. • I Think it would be good to try a larger game resolution to last to add more detail and make it bigger. • I take a lot of time and put sometimes too much detail into the animation and background, however this makes my work more detailed and quality over quantity. • I feel like I am better at making exaggerated art style over realistic therefore I think I will look for more cartoony games.

- 5. Mood Board Scale and distance between the world and camera Layout but with a 2d overhead view
- 6. Mood Board Analysis Most of the images I have collected are mainly opaque colours and are dull and less vibrant than other games. This is because most of the RTS and other genres of games are serious in tone and do not have cartoon based graphics. This also lines in with the mood of all of these games that are a dark and gritty tone making the player feel more immersed. There is a lot of brown and green colours repetitively used this is because the games are mainly outside and in barren areas and contain a large amount of flora. The units and structures in the screenshots are all further away from the camera and at a birds eye point of view. This will influence my final product by showing me the types of colours that are most common for top town games and what is proved to be effective in this type of genres. In addition the mood board showed me that many games colour schemes while are consistent throughout game play can change with different stages or areas to add contrast as seen in X-com.
