I chose to stick with the pink theme because it felt right for the game\u2019s tone, and I pulled colors directly from the logo to maintain cohesion. Since our vertical slice only includes the first date, I wanted players to see the potential for future dates but made it clear that they\u2019re locked for now. After finalising the design, I shared it with the team, and they were really happy with the map. From there, I also sent Jessie a copy of the design, including the separate Coral Cup Caf\u00e9 asset, so players could interact with the map and start to engage with the world. In week 6, Sophie mentioned making the game appear more feature-rich than it actually is, which I kept in mind when designing the map. My goal was to create the impression that there\u2019s more to the game than what players currently see, encouraging them to feel excited about the future potential of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Week 6: <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/is3g23\/\u22c6week-6-reflections\u22c6\/\">https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/is3g23\/\u22c6week-6-reflections\u22c6\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Group Blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/violetsdates\/development-of-violets-dates\/sample-page\/\">https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/violetsdates\/development-of-violets-dates\/sample-page\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2219\u22c6\u22c5\u22c6\u2219\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2219\u22c6\u22c5\u22c6\u2219\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2219\u22c6\u22c5\u22c6\u2219\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2219\u22c6\u22c5\u22c6\u2219\u2501\u2501\u2501<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Software Used<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Procreate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Brushes Used<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Flat Brush \u2013 Size 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Soft Brush \u2013 Size 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Colour Palette Used<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1640\" height=\"1145\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/is3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/03\/IMG_0879.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1530\" style=\"width:511px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/is3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/03\/IMG_0879.jpeg 1640w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/is3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/03\/IMG_0879-300x209.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/is3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/03\/IMG_0879-1024x715.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/is3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/03\/IMG_0879-768x536.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/is3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/03\/IMG_0879-1536x1072.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1640px) 100vw, 1640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2219\u22c6\u22c5\u22c6\u2219\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2219\u22c6\u22c5\u22c6\u2219\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2219\u22c6\u22c5\u22c6\u2219\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2219\u22c6\u22c5\u22c6\u2219\u2501\u2501\u2501<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is where you\u2019ll find all the developmental stages of creating the world map for Violet&#8217;s Dates.
