1. Visual Direction
On the task 1, GDD, I have done the visual direction and some moodboard, so I just copy and paste it for this part. We decided to go with anime 2d style like the Lobotomy Corporation game.

FEEDBACK
Week 6
- Ms. Mia commented that actually our game already have the USP points on the "unfinished project" , so instead of attacking, we need to change the concept is like when we attack the enemies, the enemies would transform step by step starting from sketches into colored version. We need to change the game concept and storyline for this phases.
- She encourages us to do just one level but long since there were many cases where the level can't be combined together.
REFLECTIONS
This task for me is the heaviest among the 5 modules. There were many things we need to create for the assets. If this task was an individual, it's probably gonna give so many workload. Overall I was quite satisfied with the assets we create and all of us can maintain the styles consistency. I want to thank my groupmate, Gawai and Velicia since they did the animation part for the characters which is the heaviest things and I'm proud they can finish it well! Not only that, the tutorial provided in class give me a knowledge on how we are gonna make the playable game for the next task.
