FIRST IDEA - hayday

After the briefing of the assignment and what we'll be doing in this module, i move on to doing some game research and to look for which game i wanted to alter the art direction. So for the first initial idea that i had, I was going to alter the game hayday. But before all that, i've had plenty of suggestion in mind that i compiled in a moodboard. 

The reason i chose hayday in the first place is because i feel like i know the gameplay better than any other games, because i play lame basic games.. And so here's the proposal slides. 

SECOND IDEA - Cookie run

Okay so after trying multiple times, i finally decided to change my game reference into cookie run. Hay day is fine but i feel like it'll be too boring and whatsoever, but with cookie run, we have both antagonist and protagonist, also i can have multiple levels with different achievements and hurdles. After showing the new proposal to mr. kannan, he also approved. so yeah, since its only week 3 or 4, i change the whole thing and this is what i came up with.
