Industry Practice - Week 2:


In this blog I will talk about what our group decided to set up in the lesson for the project and what job roles we gave ourselves depending on what we are good at what we needed to do for the project. We also talked about what we needed to research so I started looking at different art styles that we could use.

Miro & OneDrive:

We decided to set up a Miro where we could put all our images for moodboards and just put some ideas on so that we could all edit it and see what each other was doing which will be helpful when we are doing team meets as we can show what we are talking about. We also decided that we wanted to set up a onedrive so that we can easily share files between each other and so its easier to submit for submission as we all have access to it. 

Job Roles:

Each of us chose our job roles based on what we were good at and what we needed for the project. Lottie wasn't here for the lesson so we gave her research however she informed our group that after the initial research we won't need to do any research so we decided that it would be best if Lottie was the Lead for research whilst we needed to research and then she would move onto script writing. 

Our roles:

Katie - 3D 
Jessie - 2D
Jacob - Concept Art
Lottie - Researcher & Script Writer 
Louie - Script Writer
Edward - Story Boarder

These are some of the games that I thought would be quite good to look at for the art style as they are quite simple but look really nice. They each have their own look to them however all follow a very simple cartoony style. I showed them to my group and they thought they were good choices and ones that we could take inspiration from.
