My project will be the creation of a game, focusing more of the art style and creation of characters allowing me to show my editing / graphic design skill. As such my project will be a graphic design piece with me creating characters, avatars of said characters, maps, landscapes and many more needed pieces. These all will be explained and presented on a create Wix site that will allow me to sketch layouts again showing my design skill. I had created a small mind map on various projects that I could complete:
As you see I knew that I would be going down the graphic design route, but showed many paths to take. The reason to my choice of game is that with it as my own hobb, it will allow me to find research sources en mass as well as solving other issues that I do in day to say life. While the others are similar I still feel that having that more personal link to the route will allow me to stay motivated as well as placing myself in a zone I know how to succeed in.
The genre of the game will be action with subs here and there. Action allows me to create fighters with stats and create harsh looking characters that will almost 100% fit in with such genre. The theme of the work in a desperate underdog fighting for freedom type story, allowing me to show this through the characters as well as the Avatars. I will be undertaking a TON of research, each bit allowing me to move a little forward. Much of this will be on other games and art styles with characters, all the while collecting information from my target audience allowing me to add things I myself may of missed. My practical will be the creation of the Wix site, Logo, Title, Map, characters and many other parts of the universe that will allow me to show my story and create my world. The audience will be the fans of League of legends style games, which covers a large group averaging to be about teen to young adults of both genders. Finally I will present my idea of various platforms, the initial place being Reddit and Twitter but is due to change with the more research I conduct. However, the one main place that is for certain, is the Wix website I will create.
