Week 2 - Target Audiance

Unit 8

I wish to make my game appeal to older teens while keeping an appearance of a kids game. This will be achieved using darker themes with a colourful style. I also wish to make my game look like a game for old consoles such as the NES or Genesis. To achieve this I plan of giving my game a pixelated style that resembles that of games for these systems.

In order to find what people in my target audience want in a character I plan on creating a quick survey, which will aim to find out what people think makes an effective and enjoyable pixel character. Using the information that I collect I will be able to create characters that will appeal to them.

I will also look at the design of different characters and environments within games to see if it can influence my ideas and help me come up with new ones in order to make my game more entertaining.
