Unit 1 Assignment 4 - Bart
- 1. 1) What art style do you think would work well in an Action Role Playing Game? Celshaded Photo Realistic Exaggerated Abstract
- 2. • More than half of the people surveyed chose exaggerated as the best suited art style. This allows me when making my concept art to focus on using this graphical style. • Exaggeration art style suits this genre of games very well to make the game more appealing by making huge swords, unrealistic characteristics.
- 3. 2) Which area of a game should have the most focus when it comes to concept art? Environment Characters Items Level Designs
- 4. • Around 47% of people voted that environment should have the most focus when it comes to concept art. This gives me a heads up that the environment should be really detailed. • Making the environments very detailed gives the game a very good impression as the player will be in an environment at any given time.
- 5. 3) Which 3 character classes do you think would be most suitable for a Dark Action RPG? Knight / Archer / Mage Dragonslayer / Hunter / Necromancer Rogue / Gunner / Monk
- 6. • The first option as the most voted which means I will work on making those classes in my concept art. A knight, Archer, Mage • These are the most common classes in this genre of games (ARPG – Action Role Playing Game)
- 7. 4) What would be the most suitable weapon for a Knight / Archer / Mage? Longsword / Crossbow / Staff Dagger / Longbow / Wand Shortsword / Throwing Knifes / Magic Book
- 8. • The most suitable weapons for the classes which are Long sword, Crossbow, Staff. • Most popular weapons in video games across the rpg genre with the exception of crossbow/longbow/short bow which are all equal.
- 9. 5) What locations are best suited with an RPG? Medieval Castles and Fields Modern Cities Across All terains ( Deserts, Grasslands, Sea )
- 10. • The multi environment and terrain was voted the best as it offers the most adventure and exploration. This also offers a diverse world for the players to explore instead of a constant setting.
- 11. 6) What mount would be best suited for the chosen classes Knight / Archer / Mage? Horses Bears Dragons
- 12. • Horses were the most popular choice which lets me focus on making horses in my concept art instead of any other mount. • Horses are basic and are usually considered one of the most trustworthy and realistic mounts.
- 13. 7) What style should the enemies be? Humanoid Un Humanoid Undead Demonic
- 14. • Undead enemies look like a popular choice so my monsters / enemies will look zombified, ghostly, dead. This is a popular choice among the enemies for most action rpgs
- 15. 8) What type of armor is most suited for each Class? Platebodies / Leather / Robes Chainbodies / Hard Leather / Hooded Robes Mecha Suit / Dragon Leather / Enchanted Robes
- 16. • Plate bodies, Leather armour, and robes were the top voted. • This relates with the chosen classes the most and is the most suitable set. • Plate bodies for the knights for extra protection. Light leather armour for quick manoeuvres for the archers who don’t attack with close range and robes for wizard who also don’t do close combat but attack from the distance.
