This will be critical,
now we will be able to

We work ahead of time,

This can help us
progress quicker and
with extra time on our
hands, we will have time
to look over our work
more

We will be able to have
meetings in order to
ensure that all members
are on the same page
and up to date.
Everyone is attentive

If this is possible, we
will be able to get a lot
of work done in a
shorter period of time.
We find additional
features for our game

This will make our

When doing a task, we always double

We will be sure to put all of our group
members’ numbers in more than one
place where we will also not lose it.
Computer crashing
Response
Our back-up plan for this problem
would be to always have two people
ready to send a document and to never
hand-in documents on the due date or
last minute. This way even if the
computer does crash on the due date,
we will still have our project handed in
before it.
It is likely to not be able to find a
computer that works during class time
due to technical difficulties. In order to
prevent this, we could all bring an extra
device in case of any technological
difficulties
Our group is often short of one person
therefore we always give that team
member a minor task or even the tasks
that are the least important. This way
even if that task was not completed, it
wouldn’t really affect the actual game.
We always make sure that two or more
people have a copy of the work that
was done by the group member in case
of any emergency.

We will need to work efficiently in
order to finish our tasks on time. Not
being able to finish on time will have a
major effect on all our tasks (can lead
to rushing).
We make sure to save our work often
and to share our work with the
teammates so everybody has a copy.

Appendix C: Art Design
Overall project look and feel (fonts, colours, style)
Sketches and notes for included art
For our project, we will be choosing art that reflects our theme for our game, which is
sci-fi/horror/adventure.
For our title, we were looking for a font that reflects the horror side of our game to make
it seem more appealing. We want a font that is blotchy and that looks stained (possibly
with blood).
For the actual words in the game, we want a font that is legible. If the font is too fancy,
the player will have a hard time reading the messages, especially since our game needs
fast thinking (with our puzzles). We should probably stick to a font that can be read
quickly and easily such as Times New Roman.
The picture that will represent our game will be our logo. Our logo is a zombee
surrounded by fire.

Appendix E: Video Treatments
Describe each video you will include and justify its inclusion. What is it’s purpose in the
game?
Highly recommended that you include the storyboards here
1st video: Bedroom
Character wakes up in friend’s house. He
looks out the window and sees giant killer
bees outside. His friend is nowhere to be
seen.
He looks around the room and sees a desk
with a laptop, a pencil case and a lamp.
This video will show the beginning of the story and give a visual idea for the viewers. It
will help them better understand where they are, what they’re doing, what’s around them.
2nd video: Mission description
Blue/green background
Execute retinal scan
State the mission (get rid of all the
zombees) and show a picture of the bees
1
0
[Type the document title]
[Type the team Name]
Finish by giving details of the mission
This video will show the player what his/her mission in this game is. It will provide
details about the mission so the player isn’t too confused while playing.
3rd video: Entering military base
Show the entire outside (compound) of the
military base.
The character enters through the front and
sees a hallway.
This video will give a brief overview of the outside of the military compound so the
player can have an image of it in his/her head when entering the compound.
4th video: Entering the beehive
Show the outside of the beehive
Character enters and see the hallways and
doors
This video has about the same purpose as the previous one (the one about the military
compound). Since the beehive is very complicated and has many trap rooms, the player
will most likely need an overview of the outside of the hive. Again, this will help the
player better understand what to do.

Appendix F

purpose in the game? What style will you use?
Sounds/music to be submitted by April 15th, 2014.
