I recently pitched my idea to my mentor and I feel it went well. At first my original idea was to create the two operators and then finish with that however I was told (and agree) that there is not enough content there and I would most likely have to much time left over. The addition of a map design would be really useful for making sure my design is as detailed as possible. This would also allow me to practise more techniques with photoshop and Affinity.
When it comes to research I need to go to Reddit and ask Siege players various questions about the game, it’s content and what they think of my ideas. I could also use it for secondary research to find out what people post about the game and what their thoughts on updates are. I need to research how to create shadow and details on Affinity as well as Photoshop as part of my secondary research. I also need to analyse previous Siege DLC’s as this is important to make sure I can make it as similar as possible.
A large issue I need to work on is avoiding copyright laws or infringement as I am creating something that belongs to another company. To avoid this I need to make sure that what I’m making is very original and new to make sure I am not copying something that already exists in the game. As a presentation method I intend on using Wix to create a website to promote the DLC and will evaluate the whole thing based upon what the Reddit community think about it, the techniques I used and how believable the DLC is.
