Hey all!

I'm currently on the final stretch of my last semester doing Games Art >

I've got some final touches to add to my dissertation and then it's game over

As an addition I've put together a small survey (no longer then 5 mins), if anyone could take the short amount of time to fill it out I'd be truly grateful <3 It's about games so it's safe for work and not mentally intensive ^^

Survey here :- DONE!!!

Done. - Might be worth editing the post to explain what its about though.

LanceCrossfire · 27 Mar 2013 at 18:46

Thanks Delphi, I'll take that advice

Logsi · 27 Mar 2013 at 18:49

Done!

Got a lot of help with mine from here so feels good to return the favour!

Thanks Logsi, much appreciated <3

Another thanks (and indirect bump

Done. Although I do have a bit of a soft spot for Rapunzel in Tangled so I was slightly biased on that question.

Done for you, good luck for the rest of the semester

[FnG]magnolia · 28 Mar 2013 at 09:49

Done.

Why is question 5 free text when the rest are multiple derp?

~Divine~Wind~ · 28 Mar 2013 at 10:46

Done, GL with the dissertation mate

LanceCrossfire · 28 Mar 2013 at 10:46

Thanks cork-spotters, Fire fly, Nikumba, Neodude, Schumi84, Efour, [FnG]magnolia and ~Divine~Wind~

@ [FnG] - The aim was to have people fill it with an answer relating to the previous question, to save them having to negotiate a list of the same possibilities.
It's cool as some people have put answers which I haven't enabled them to choose prior, something that didn't crop up during the handful of pilot tests I conducted.

Done, but it all seems a bit vague to me.

Thanks Judgeneo!

Vague how so? Any feedback would be appreciated!

JonJ678 · 28 Mar 2013 at 10:54

Done. However, read selection bias.

Well, what is 'realistic' and what is 'stylised'? Personally, I would only identify a single one of your images as realistic, with the rest being stylised models/images with varying levels of detail.

Thanks Jon!

Yeah I'm aware of selection bias and other potential warping factors.
The survey is very subjective and made even more so with the limitation of artefacts I can use (people will always be drawn to particular games/characters they know). I've also spread the survey across different forums, as I know Overclockers has a very aware and avid PC community.
For the most part this exercise is to further add to the research and practical activities I've already completed (You can never have to much research

).
It has given me some really good information thus far to! So thank you very much indeed!

EDIT

@Judgeneo - Thanks Judge, I agree with your statement, it is subjective and everyone will have their own interpenetration of what is what. The only thing I can do is try and blanket and receive as much information as possible to identify a trend.
