PROCEDURE
 

·         Identify finance available

My research shows that I wouldn’t necessarily need a budget but I have the resources available free at the college. The only thing I may need to consider is buying some software for my computer at home so I can complete my game quicker and also become more familiar with the software.
 

·         Identify resources and book where necessary

Most of my resources will be available to me at the college so my hours will be limited and I need to consider booking a room out in the college.
 

·         Identify personnel needed and weather they are available

I have one personnel to assist me on Photoshop to help me create my sprites and help me get a better understanding of how to use Photoshop so In the future I can create my sprites without assistance.
 

·         Identify and health and safety concerns

I will consider all the health and safety concerns such as keeping drinks away from all electrical devices, regular breaks from the screen and posture.

I will need to organize my time wisely and prepare a schedule to cover all the steps required. Beginning with the game concept, design and sketches, leading onto creating my sprites. The last part will be testing out my game to double check for any missing links.

I will consider my time limit as I will have a deadline and will need to have completed it. I will also need to consider the risk of losing data.
