Planning
• Planning helped change my mind
from a potential awful game to
something I really liked.
• Mood board helped figure out the
style I want.
• Probably could’ve figured out
timings for each animation
section.
• Probably shouldn’t have been so
ambitious with my planning.

Time Management
• Time management went will
because I had plenty of time to
complete my animation and
creation of assets.
• More time = much better work,
maybe better music

Musical Qualities
• Good music for someone using the
software for the first time
• Not really appropriate to content of the
game, but works as if it was made for an
Atari
• Lack of music in gameplay. Boring
• Suits the theme of the game, piratey and
mystical
• Professional standard
• Evokes strong feelings
• Some tracks have a mechanical sound which
suits the rapid mechanization of WW1 and some
have a classical sound which represents the clash
of old and new in conventional warfare

satisfying

Audience Appeal
• Escapism allows target
audience to experience
adventure they wouldn’t
normally have

“intellectual” gamer
