As this was my final project for this year I wanted to create something that I was passionate about and would enjoy doing as well as learning new skills and creating a variety of different media forms. Very recently I have been playing a considerate amount of rainbow Six Siege, a very popular 5v5 tactical shooter which is on most platforms available. It has a massive following throughout the world and is very popular within E-sports, massive championships often occurring all over the globe. This would be a great project for me I think and I feel the best route to go down would be a new DLC.

A DLC is new content for a game which are often released to fill a game with new features, characters and events. Every 3 months R6S releases a new DLC which contains 2 new playable characters (or operators), a new map and new skins, uniforms, features and balancing changes. Each season focuses on a new branch of special forces such as the Navy Seals, SAS, GIGN, Spetsnaz and GROM just to name a few. This adds a unique feel to the game as each operator has their own look, uniform and race. The new maps that are released alongside these operators also help to create a new experience for players and avoid boredom as there is a new map to learn and play on.

My plan is to create two new operators their gadgets, backstories, icons and look, a new map, a name and layout and then a website to display the operators and map on. This will be a great project to work on and I am excited to start.

The thing I started off doing was creating a mind map of ideas such as gadget, special branch, uniform and weapon. This was to just generate some potential ideas that I could have. I think that this was a great foundation to create some thoughts and feelings and this is displayed below.

This I feel is a great start and I believe that there is sufficient information here to begin this project confidently. I also believe that I have already begun to think of some great ideas for the project.

As part of my project I have to make a schedule to help organise the project and support what this project will entail and how I will structure it all. Although not 100% accurate I will try to stick to this for the project. I have designed the schedule like this as I felt that for the most part it is the right amount of time to spend on each category. This schedule can be seen below.
