Art Direction

The artwork within the game will use very simple vector artwork that will show the platform to it best. As the PlayStation Vita can cope with HD graphics using a 2D vector art style can be visually bold and stunning. The Vector artwork also helps sensitise the violence to appeal to a larger audience. Using this with a dark game is interesting as it can also dull down the dark feeling of the game and make it more fun than strictly serious.

Also the simple art style complements the simple controls, this has been shown very well with arcade titles such as Super Meat Boy. As this is for a Mini title the art style will very well. Bold and bright colours also help open the game to a larger audience as a female audience tend not to play games that are violent and serious, using almost cartoon violence also opens it up to a more child friendly audience possibly making this game appeal to a very large audience.

These are some examples of Vector art that can be found online that are similar to the style to the artwork for my game.
