hello! this is the start of my third year, final major project blog! where I will be documenting the process of working on this all important final university project.
prior to starting third year in games art, I was taking part on a DPS (diploma in professional studies) year. during that year I worked on several projects, both related to my digital art specialism and completely different to thing I have worked on before. below is the presentation that displays all of my DPS work. I wanted to talk about DPS here in this FMP blog as it was a really significant experience for me, and I was able to develop my skills in art and other aspects that will be helping me through this FMP year.
before our first class in year 3, we were asked to create a short presentation containing the three ideas we have for out FMP, along with our summer work. for summer work I just showed some personal fan art drawings that I had worked on and one project from DPS that I was working on during the summer.
my three project ideas were: a short 2D visual novel, a series of 2D loading screens featuring splash art and a 2D character art book. I knew that I wanted to go with a horror theme and planned this with all of these ideas.
I decided to go with making the visual novel idea, as this was my main idea and I was very excited at the id of making a visual novel, as I have wanted to or a long time. this would include me making assets like characters, backgrounds and UI/GUI features. I carried on generating ideas for this and adding them to my notes.
so by the end of the first week I was sure I wanted to create a 2D visual novel for my FMP, I was also sure I wanted it to be of a horror theme. the rest was just continuing on my general ideas generation and inspirations for my project. this was a great start to my final year at uni! and I was enjoying going back to class again after having DPS and not attending my regular games art classes. also being given the freedom to create anything that I want for my final project was super excited and helped to motivate me!!
