PROJECT PROPOSAL

TASK: We will work as a group and we will have to redesign a game based on the game 'Among Us' and 'Goose Goose Duck'. Firstly, we have to set up a background story and the purpose of the game. We are required to determine our style of art and characters using some methods (positioning map, artistic target, character style range finder). The proposal should have the information mentioned and we have to also begin our sketches. Everything should be compiled in the project proposal and we have to present it to Ms Anis and our classmates.

My idea for these UI buttons is to add on the Halloween festival element such as graveyards, spider webs, and candies. I also play around with the colours as the colour of the button stands as an important element to user experience.

FEEDBACK 

Week 3:

Ms Anis said that our idea is workable and we just had to identify whether our character is more on abstract proportions or human proportions. Then, based on the position that we consider for our character, we have to find some inspirations that suit our character. 

Week 4:

Ms Anis ask us to continue working on our project and we should show her our progression which is sketched in the following week.

Week 5: 

Ms Anis took medical leave today so today would not be able to show her our progression and we shall continue to work on it.

Week 6:

Ms Anis said the whole story narrative is strong enough and the part that may be lacking is the characters' sketch. She suggests we stick with the original map so that we don't have to do too much extra work.

Then, She also said that we shall learn how to draw pixel art and begin our digitizing process.

REFLECTIONS

For me, I think the progress on conducting the proposal was fun as we got some interesting ideas in our minds and we got to know that there are so many branches to develop a game such as characters, buttons user interface and also design elements.
