Peer 1 please provide constructive feedback:AngieThe image of the aged book is very good, although you did use the image from the internet along with the other images you chose, you have changes and enhanced some of the features in all of the images to make them look more sinister. The images are good but a bit gory for me especially all of the blood and the eyes that follow you from room to room. The interactive buttons work well and I like the information because it explains a bit about the game and it also explains who you are.The sounds are very realistic and I’m not sure if this would truly be suitable for your target audience PG other than that I think that you have done a really good job and put a lot of detail into your images.

Peer 2 please provide constructive feedback:JoeWhen going through it clicking on parts would take you to a different part and the sound effects went well with what is going on.

Peer 3 please provide constructive feedback:JakeThe initial idea is good, the editing was done fine in terms of creating a classic horror scene featuring things like an abandoned building and

blood everywhere. The sound ideas were good but the quality of the sound was not that good and could be improved. In terms of interactions, there is a good amount but none of them do enough interesting things. Better sounds, more interesting interactive and some more development of what is going on would be useful. Also I recommend background music.

In your own words detail what you think the strengths and weaknesses of the production :While doing this project I found that my strengths where editing photos on Photoshop, I found this the easiest because someone showed me a tutorial on how to edit photos and change the colours to make the image that you originally had look very different, what I struggled with the most was animating the images and making the buttons and coding them to make my game interactive, I have never used flash before but I feel like working with the different tools gave me a new skill in animation and I fell like it boosted my confidence in my skills.

Think about the planning materials you created, did you follow them? If not why? Did the production change at all while you were making it?I did follow my planning materials, I got my inspirations from two games called outlast which is a gory, dark, scaring interactive game where you have to find your way through an abandoned building an hide from bad people and Alien isolation with is another interactive game where you have to find your way round a old spaceship and hide from the alien, what I like most about alien isolation is the music and sounds that where used which I tried to involve in my game to give it that scaring dark effect.

Think about the research you undertook, how has that influenced your production. Compare your production to the professional examples you found, use images to illustrate your points:

The professional examples that I looked at really helped me because it gave me inspiration for the background, what sounds I should use to make my game a bit more scary and to build up more tension and atmosphere and it also gave me an Idea of the graphic that I wanted to involve in my game. Unfortunately I didn’t have a lot of time to make my game up to the standard that I wanted it to be but I am very pleased with what I have done considering that I have had to ask for a lot of help with the button coding and editing on flash. The professionals are able to make games a lot better because they have much better software so they can make the graphics a lot better and more realistic and scarier where as I didn’t, they also have a lot of better skilled and more experienced people than me working on one game where as I had to do all of the animation, button coding and sound editing all by myself, I think that if I had collaborated with anyone on this project it would be a lot better because I could focus on one thing like editing the photos on Photoshop and they could have focused on editing the buttons to make my game more interactive and make it a much better quality. While making the game I didn’t have a lot of time so I was limited to what I could do where as the professional companies and people don’t have a time limit and if they do need extra they can extend there release date. They also like to keep their release date a secret to create tension and suspense for when they release the game.

What did you learn through doing this project? Did you develop any skills? :I feel like through out doing this project I have learnt a lot form using Photoshop to edit photos in an entirely different way to working on flash to piece my game together and add the coding for the buttons and adding sound onto my game to help make my game look and feel a lot better, I fell like now if I wanted a job in the future I would know the basic of what to on flash and maybe similar software’s. I also feel like I have gained a lot of confidence while doing this project.
