PROGRESS UPDATE PLAN FOR NEXT MONTH / WEEK (Including Possible Contingency Plans If Problems Anticipated)

Mon W/B 05/01/15(Detailed Weekly Summary)

I created my blog for my Project and I then started to download the files that were needed to show the progression of my work.

My plan is to start task 1 and to complete the research


I started and nearly completed task 1 and I also started to collect some research but I am not near completing it. In task 1 we were shown different types of briefs and we had to explain what the different types of briefs were and to also show examples.

I will finish off task 1 and I will also complete my research. I will then start to collect secondary research


I finished off my work on the different types of briefs and I also added some examples to the work. I also started working on my secondary research and that is nearly complete.

I will finish off my secondary research and I will also start my primary research. However I may not have time to actually collect it in this week.


I completed my secondary research and uploaded it to my blog. I then completed the primary research which was a survey and took screenshots of it as evidence for my blog.

Then as a group we started to generate ideas for our game. This involved sample drawings and just general writing down ideas.

As a group we will complete ideas generation or will be near completion.


His week I generated my ideas ad wrote them down or took a picture of them for any more ideas that I may use. However we decided that we needed another week to do this to further develop ideas.

Next week I plan on starting some pixel art digitally.


This week I started to create some pixel art for my ideas, however I did not get far in this.

Next week I plan on finishing my pixel art.


In this week I did not do much as we were not in college. However I thought a bit more about what I was going to do further in the project.

Next week I plan on working on our pitch for the game.


We prepared for our pitch in this week. This involved creating a script for our pitch and also writing down some cue cards for it so that what we were doing was clear to our group. We also slightly rehearsed the pitch.

Next week I plan on doing the pitch and also preparing a little bit more on the weekend and a little bit before actually doing the pitch.



This week we practised our pitch and we also presented it. We pitched our work about the game and the ideas that we had for the game. This was a daunting task however we did it to the best of our abilities.

Next week I plan on continuing the level and character design as well as starting to work o the sounds for the game.


This week I started to look into how to create my part of the game which will be turn-based which is very similar to games like Final Fantasy. I also have been helping to work on the pixel art for the game.

Next week I plan on further researching how my portion of the game will be made and also for the other portions of the game.


This week I planned further for my game. I decided to then create the environment that the fighting will happen in for my portion for the game. I then started to think how everything in the game will look.

Next week I will finish off the look of the stage and then I will start on the script of the game.


This week I complete my stage for the level and I looked into a bit of the coding that needs to be done for it.

Next week I will start to write the coding for my work and work on it.





This week I was perfecting my other parts of the project that we did at the very start as we had gotten some feedback from it.

Next week I will be recording some more sounds for to create a library for us to use to make the game seem more authentic and we will then be editing them using Reaper.
