Project Title: Final Major Project

In This FMP I wanted to use a program that I've never used before. I watched some YouTube videos on how it works. That research helped me a lot. I learnt quite a few new things using that program and I now know how to animate things in a new software instead of using photoshop. I would use this software again as it is easy to use and it is easy to get the hang of it. The reason I chose pixel art is because I like doing pixel art base things and that I thought I would bring that into a project. My original thought was to do a Pixel Art Animation and that it was gonna be based on a family going through Covid-19 and that the youngest child was gonna grow older everyday and that he had jobs to do around the house to help out his family. I used a program called Asprite and that program is based on pixel art so it was easy to use after getting a hang of it. Throughout my project I feel like it went really well with all the designs. My objective of this project was to get a fully working animation going and to get it finished. The result of my project isn't what I wanted because of Covid and that I didn't have enough time. Half way through my project I wanted to change the idea completely because what I'm doing now is completely new to me and that I should have gone with something I've done before. On The next project I will use this software again as I really like it and its easy to use. The things I could improve on this project would be that I could finish it and that I could either make it longer and bigger or I could make something completely new. If I had longer I could finish it and that I could have a finished product by the end. Also I wish I stuck with my original plan of doing a first person project but I wanted to try something new and that I didn’t have much knowledge at the start of the project. I feel like that my project went really well and that I did a good job on it.

who invented pixel art

The term pixel art was first published by Adele Goldberg and Robert Flegal of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 1982. Adobe Systems, founded in 1982, developed the Postscript language and digital fonts, making drawing painting and image manipulation software popular.

The History Of Pixel Art

Pixel art as it is known today largely originates from classic video games, particularly classic arcade games such as Space Invaders (1978) and Pac-Man (1980), and 8-bit consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System (1983) and Sega Master System. Pixel art is a form of digital art, created through the use of software, where images are edited on the pixel level. The aesthetic for this kind of graphics comes from 8-bit and 16-bit computers and video game consoles, in addition to other limited systems such as graphing calculators. In most pixel art, the color palette used is extremely limited in size, with some pixel art using only two colors.

In the last couple of weeks I feel like I have fallen behind on the blog posts. Also my project is coming along slowly and it is coming together. In the next 4 days I will hopefully have a couple more blog posts.

The Difference between Asprite and Photoshop.

The difference between photoshop and asprite is huge. In photoshop you are not able to click on single blocks are that you have to draw the whole thing. The one on top is the one from photoshop and the one is from Asprite.

My Thoughts On The Games That Won.

In my opinion I think that the games that won deserve it because they have have hard work and a lot of effort put into them. They have had Blood, Sweat and Tears put into them and they over the developing years.

List of Tools

The tools I'm going to be using is Aseprite because it is made for Pixel Art animation and that i have little experience with it. I'm still learning new things with it. The reason I'm gonna be using this software is because it is easy to get the grips of it and that you are able to create an animation from it without having to switch programs and loading it back up but in the other program. I’m still gonna use this program as I want to learn from it.

Plan From Start To Finish.

In my project I am gonna am gonna be creating a Pixel Art Animation. This is gonna be based of a little boy who is gonna be growing up everyday through lock down from Covid 19. The little boy will have tasks to do but you are able to choose the answer for what he does. Depending on the answer you chose is depending on what happens.  If you chose the wrong path you may have to restart but you’ll just watch everything that you have chosen until you get to the part where you went wrong. When you reach the and you will see that you have grown up to an adult and see that your going out to the shops and coming home to see your kids and wife.

Research

FMV also knows as Full motion video is a video game narration technique that relies upon pre-recorded video files (rather than sprites, vectors, or 3D models) to display action in the game. While many games feature FMVs as a way to present information during cutscenes, games that are primarily presented through FMVs are referred to as full-motion video games or interactive movies.
