  Q1: What artstyle would be best for a open world zombie survival game? Cel shaded Photorealistic Abstract Exaggeration I asked this question to get a better understanding of the appropriate graphics that should be used for my game idea. I found that the idea of using photorealistic graphics would be best for the game. This is good for my work because it shows what graphics the audience would want to see most. This will make my concept art sketches more realistic and adapt it more to the graphic style that would be used.

Assualt rifle Handgun Shotgun Sub machine gun For this question, I thought it was important to understand what type of weapon the gamer would want to use in the game as it would play a big role throughout gameplay. I found that the shotgun is the most voted weapon with the assault rifle just behind. This shows which particular weapons are wanted and gives me a chance to decide which is best for this game genre.

  Q3: For azombie survival game, which setting is best? A graveyard A diner The countryside A city I asked this question because it is important to understand what type of setting the audience would prefer in this game genre as it would play a huge part throughout the game. I found that a city based game is most voted, this shows me what type of game the audience is looking for. For example, a zombie survival game based in a city may conclude to it being a open world map with the ability to explore the landscape. This gives me a much better direction in terms of concept art because the setting of the game is more defined and gives many options for different ideas.

  Q4: Which areaof the game should have most focus when it comes to concept art? Environment Characters Items Level designs I asked this question because I think it is important to know which area of the game needs more detail and should be defined to stand out most in the game. I found that environment has been voted most, this is useful because it shows what type of game the audience is looking for. For example, so far I have gathered that the game should be a open world game with focused and detailed environments that should use photorealistic graphics. These points can lead to extensive ideas such making it a RPG game etc. This gives me a sense on what should be detailed and focused on.

  Q5: If thegame were to be rated 18, what do you think is the most appropriate graphical imagery? Dead and clothed Dead with torn clothes and minor decay Dead with open flesh wounds, decay and torn clothes Dead with dismembered body parts, harsh flesh wounds and decay, and torn clothing I asked this question because I wanted to understand what levels of graphics the game should be taken to, so I can find the right target audience and not make it too harsh. However, the most voted answer is the detailed and gory imagery. This shows me how graphical the audience want the imagery and the game should be more realistic in a sense of being gritty, gory and violent. This again relates to how detailed my sketches should be.

  Q6: Who shouldthe main protagonist be in this game? A military man A scientist A average worker A ex-spec ops agent For this question, I wanted to find out who the appropriate character is for this type of game. I found that an average worker is most voted which shows that the gamers want to see a realistic character which also means they want to see a believable story. This is useful for my work because it shows what story they want to see. For example, the idea of a average worker shows they want to see someone who is a average person put in to this situation. This gives me a better impression of what to use for my concept sketches, being normally dressed, working class looking.

  Q7: What wouldyou expect to find in a open world zombie game? Survivours Infected Wild animals Abandoned streets and houses Now my understanding is better, I asked what the audience would want to see in a open world game. I found that they of course want to see the infected (zombies) but also equally want to see others such as animals and survivors. This gives me a better idea of what should be in a game to improve it and reach a wider target audience.

  Q8: What doyou think the main characters role is in the game? Find a cure Help stranded survivours Survive the infection that is slowly causing human extinction Find the cause and origins of the infection I thought this was an important question to ask as it defines the plot of the game and gives the character purpose as well as a good game to play for the audience. I found that the best idea would rather be to find a cure or find the origins of the infection. These are good plot points that will help with my original game idea.

  Q9: How doyou think the main protagonist will psychologically handle the events and situation he is in? Slowly lose his sanity Get to grips with whats happened and move on Becomes more violent and aggressive Unable to cope I asked this question to get a better take on how realistic the game should be and how the character should be portrayed as the user progresses through the game. I found that the audience prefer the idea of the character becoming more violent and losing his sanity which shows the realism and also hinting at the game being violent. This helps me understand how to portray the character in the story.

  Q10: What vehiclesdo you expect to use in this particular game? Car Motorcycle Boats Small planes Trucks As the game is a possibly free roaming and open world, I thought it was important what vehicles the user would like to see. I found that cars are most voted.

  Q11: How shouldthe main protagonist be presented? In torn rags In a suit In a leather jacket with jeans In army uniform with a bulletproof vest I asked this question to get a better understanding on how the main protagonist should be presented. I found that a leather jacket and jeans is best which shows they want him to look cool but average and normal. The clothing presents the characters personality which is important. This gives me a better idea of what do use when designing the characters presentation in my concept art.
