Annie Royal: Preliminary Research Part 1

I've been walking my dog everyday, and thought I could use that as a starting point for my idea. I also decided to go out and take some pictures of random places in my town that could possibly be used as references for environments in the game:

Dog park
Town centre

Car park

Town
I also decided to find a spot in town, sit down and draw random people, however most of them were pretty far away or were moving too fast so I only got a few drawings that were really rushed. I may go out and draw more, but it depends on how much time I have left.

Ramone Lawrence: Preliminary research- Photos 2

I took a picture of this rope bridge in the park, i had the idea of having the character crossing the bridge and when the character looks down it just pitch black.
Bells resemble relics, history and religion something to look upon, I thought this photo will help me get an idea of how my game can be because of how it is going to be set in a mystical type of jungle or forest.




























This picture was taken in White Chapel, I like the look of this object because it reminds me of a monument or a ancient treasure chest that has been sailing for years that hasn't been open for centuries.
Walking towards Canary Wharf and I took picture of this pathway in this small park, this will give me a clear view of how it should be in the game, the distance between the buildings and the perspective.

Ramone Lawrence: Preliminary research photos (Please scroll down )


















































 I took some pictures in my nearby park of a flag, to represent something like a checkpoint, for example "Super Mario"which has a flag pole at the end that you have to jump on, to complete the level.


I took this picture in Whitechapel, It gave me an idea that this object could represent a tower with so many floors in the game and a boss lives on top of the tower waiting for you to arrive.










These two lanes gave me an idea that instead of the player just walking in one straight lane, they can have more options to walk somewhere else and to explore.


 I took this photo in my nearby park, this is a perfect example of how you will play the game, which is in first person.
 The bag will have an item inside to replenish health or give you powers.
 (Sticks&Stones may break your bones!) i took this picture for  future reference for weapons to throw at the enemy.





Ramone Lawrence: Preliminary research for game- Brainstorm

First step was to make a brainstorm for the game, just so I know i can get a drift.
