The document summarizes the student's process of creating a retro-style racing game. It discusses strengths and weaknesses in their research, planning, and time management. It also covers target audience appeal, technical and aesthetic qualities, and feedback received from peers. The student researched retro games to understand realistic pixel art styles and dashboard designs. Their planning helped decide on game mechanics and aesthetics, but they could have spent more time on cover design. Peers felt the graphics were realistic but improvements could have included more dashboard details and a straight road to feel like driving.

- 3. Research • The strengths of my research where that I could see what a realistic retro game looks like, this helped me to make my game seem more professional and like a real retro style racing game. • It also helped me to see how to make my work look 3D even when its made out of pixels. • It also helped me to decide to put the dash board of the car at the bottom of the screen to make the player feel more like it’s a real car. • The weaknesses of my research were that I could have chosen a wider range or racing games ones that didn't all look the same as I saw one that I really liked then just went and chose more that were exactly the same. • I could have researched other games other than just racing games to see if I could find something that would look oven better.
- 4. Planning • The strengths of my planning were that it gave me a chance to full decide and see what I wanted my product to look like and how I wanted it to move. • It also gave me chance to see if what I wanted to do would be possible and to choose fonts and colours I wanted to use • Another is that it helped me to decide how I would design my car and what I wanted it to look like. • The weaknesses of my planning are that I could have spend more time looking at how I wanted my cover to look so that I would have been more prepared as to how it would work.
- 5. Time Management • I could have managed my time better and spent less time trying to make it move smoothly and making sure every little detail was how I wanted it and more time just actually making the product so that it would be finished in time, I also could have timed myself better when looking for fonts as I spent way to much time doing that and looking at pictures I might need and more time working on my planning and the rest of my PowerPoints, that would have given me more time to spend on designing.
- 6. Target Audience Appeal • I think my game appeals to a younger audience well and is mainly aimed at boys. I wanted my game to have bright sunny parts to it and also dark parts, I did this my making my cover based at night and my screenshot on a sunny day. • Cars themselves are something that is usually more aimed towards boys so making my game a racing game in its self draws in a male audience • There is nothing offensive in the game and It looks fairly simple this means someone as young as they wanted could play it.
- 7. Technical Qualities I used the red outline for the cover to make it stand out as much as the existing product. The existing product is more detailed as they had more pixels to work with. I could have made my cover look a little more exciting like the existing product and how they have the car flying through the air with the red streak behind it
