Proposal:
With my proposal I am working in a team alongside my partner, Joseph. This is my personal proposal which will show:
- Section 0
- Section 1
- Section 2
- Section 3
- Section 4
- Section 5
Section 0: Title, Completion date, Devs
Date Of Completion: June 18th, 2019
Name Of The Game: Ellie-Jane’s and Joseph’s Game
Devs: Ellie-Jane Wright and Joseph Hannon
Section 1: Rationale
Over the past seven units I have gone from starting off in September from not knowing anything about how games are made to being able to make a realistic playing card, simple character rigs and animations which can then be used to create a bird with a simple path animation (Which works very well to make it look like a fully detailed 3D model). With the last units that I have just completed I now know how a heads up display (HUD) works and how to program a game to make it have certain actions when collision boxes are triggered or when a health bar needs to decrease. With all of this new knowledge I know that I am able to create something new and exciting which will push myself and my partner Joseph to being challenged to create something that has never been seen before.
Section 2: Project Concept
For this final unit project it was mainly inspired by a game that I loved to play and still continue to do so today. That game is a Nintendo GameCube classic known as ‘Luigi’s Mansion’. This project was also inspired by another Nintendo game known as ‘Splatoon’ and finally an indie game known as ‘Bendy and the Ink Machine’. For the actual concept of the game we want it to be a multi-story building that the player is trapped within with limited health and needs to find a way out while completing tasks to aid their escape. The concept will be developed further in pre-production because we’re not entirely sure if this is the final concept that we want to go with and develop for our Unit 8 project.

Section 3: Evaluation
Joseph and myself will evaluate our work using our classmates and tutors playing the game at many different stages to get feedback and further ideas for development. This could also include solutions to problems that we may have along the process of production. With the pre-production I personally will discuss the ideas that we develop with my tutors to make sure that they’re not too ambitious or not ambitious enough. Furthermore, if we develop the idea of the original concept this could effect pre-production time because if we change the concept entirely then we would have to make sure that everything is planned and thought of properly.
However, there will be regular evaluations with myself and Joseph to see how effectively we have collaborated, used our time and how the overall production is going.
Section 4: Project Action Plan And Timetable
Pre-Production:
Production:
The reasons why the table for production is not complete is because myself and Joseph haven’t fully developed the idea yet, so a more detailed version will be created when we finish pre-production.
For why there is no table for post-production is because we’re not entirely sure how the game will develop and what the final project will look like. Post production will have it’s own time table when it’s relevant to think about that kind of task.
Section 5: Proposed Research Sources And Bibliography
Proposed Research Sources:
For the proposed research sources, I will mainly using the internet as my main research source. However, I will also be using magazine articles, Books and any other source I come across.
