Research Methods - Writing Task Week 4

Research Question:
How pre production concept art affects the creation of a memorable video game boss level?

Consider Other Questions:

-How did computer performance and capability effect creating art for a game?

-A concept artist can't work on their own, how does a concept artist come up with ideas?

-Why is communication with other departments necessary?

-What kind of medium processes does a concept artist go though?

-What inspired artists to create bosses in past video games?

-Why are memorable bosses memorable? Looks? Difficulty? Story personality trait? Fun level?
-Although some game mechanics are similar, how does the character and environment make the gaming experience different?

-What kind of references do concept artists use when considering a look for a boss depending on the game's genre?

-What is the formula that divides the boss from regular, disposable enemies?

-How does the unison of gameplay mechanics and character creation form a unique boss?

-How/why can controversial boss battles become memorable?
