Legal, economical, technical and Envrionmental considerations

 Legal and economical considerations


To combat legal issues that may pop up as a studio we won't parody any real world brands as to distance ourselves from any large companies as much as possible, we also won't create merchandise to sell based on any of our creations. As a company we will also create a faux NDA to act as a stand in as if we were doing the real thing.

Potential assets we could protect are as follows;
  • Characters 
  • music
  • voice lines and script
  • Artwork BG
  • Storyline and the narrative
  • UI design
At current we would not need to make any amends to our designs other than some potential background easter eggs, even then, it should be fine because it's not the focus nor would we merchandise it for profit.

Technical considerations

What software/hardware are you using? Why?

The Hardware we're using are PC's and iPad's respectively. The software I am using is Procreate.

Are you all using the same software/hardware?

To answer this question simply, no, some of us are using Procreate by savage interactive for the iPad and some of us are using Adobe Photoshop to create our digital assets and clip studio paint, this is mostly down to preference and access to technology.

What technological restrictions/limitations/guidance have your team put in place to ensure consistency and professional practice?

As a team the biggest technological restriction we have is the resolution of our assets, they have to be within a certain range to be optimised in Ren'py 

Are you using technology to collaborate?

We are using our phones and computers to communicate and collaborate over discord and Microsoft OneDrive as we have a shared file set up.

Environmental Considerations

As for environmental considerations we could limit our total carbon footprint by only creating this as a digital product therefore eliminating carbon emissions produced when manufacturing disks, the cases, and the boxes they are shipped in, on top of that we wouldn't have to ship the game across the world either further reducing our carbon footprint overall. With digital releases and specifically indie releases becoming more and more popular based on the amount I've been exposed to over the past 4 years this seems like the most appropriate course of action.

Real Worlds: Research Dossier

 Real Worlds Research Dossier SWOT Analysis My strengths when it comes to this project are generally character design including the props and written backstory of my characters another strength is my ability to produce some half decent key art. I will play to my strengths in the 3d section by doing a paint over of a 3d block out as well as creating some interesting props to look at within the piece itself. My major weakness is 3D and the general workflow around it, I have some skill but I am nowhere near good enough in my opinion. Another weakness of mine is ideation and perspective so I'll try to push myself a bit more in those aspects. The ideation section of the 3d will help me improve on this area of weakness because it will allow me to delve further into shape language and storytelling through visual details. An opportunity that will come up in this project will be when I receive direct feedback from a client telling me whether the designs are working or not enabling me to go ...

Texturing and model complete

 Texturing Render captured in Sketchfab Texturing my model was quite simple I colour picked from my original character sheet and placed them where necessary using the polygon fill feature and a black mask. I also did most of the texturing on the base colour viewport to retain as much accuracy as I could.  One thing I will say before any critique over the accuracy of colours on the Tommy gun is purely for character background the chamber and the barrel aren't rust blued is because they want to take care of this weapon themselves; to stay disciplined and as a reminder, the magazine gets changed way more frequently and is not a part that is as important to her although she does fill her own magazines.  Character Texture tile Thompson M1928 Texture tile  I do plan on going back through my textures and adding my own shading instead of relying on lighting as much, doing so would also allow me to add more personality to the final model. There will also be a version with the...

Character sculpt 2 - Gangster

 Character sculpt 2 - Gangster To start off my sculpt I used the base female model that comes with Zbrush. my main goal with this is to speed up my process I will eventually change the face to better match my character model but this acts as a good jumping off point.  The first part of the sculpt I created were the trousers the following method applies to all of the main sections of the sculpt. I start with a mask and then extract at zero thickness without a double sided surface. Next I then use the polish by features operation and then Zremesh the extracted object with it set to 1 to get it as close to 1000 polys as possible once that is done I'll do some minor tweaks and remesh it again. After that I'll apply the dynamic subdivision setting adding thickness  without actually confirming it this way I have some more freedom while keeping the original low poly mesh. Each of these components aside from the base mesh were created using the method I wrote in my last pa...
