The document provides details on the pre-production for a violent video game targeted towards male teenagers aged 16-18. It describes creating a rural background setting that can be damaged and affected by players' moves. Sound effects would include power-ups, knockouts, countdowns, taunts, and destroyed buildings. Contingency plans include saving work to OneDrive in case the computer stops working and doing work at home if unable to come to college. Potential health issues like eye strain, ear pain, back pain, and joint pain would be avoided by taking breaks, adjusting volume and posture.
2. Audience Profile
My audience will be around 16-18 years old. I am going for a
gory game which will have a lot of effects added into it to make
it entertaining to watch and play. It will most likely be males
playing this game as it is going for a more gruesome and
destructive manner towards it. Any social status could play this
game as everyone is equal at the beginning and it is mainly skill
based rather than pay to win so anyone could enjoy the game
without having to pay to be good. The reason this game would
attract this types of people is because the games which are
more gruesome have a higher age group playing this game and
mainly are dominated by males as they are more into fighting in
the most gory way possible. Such as Mortal Kombat has a
dominated gender type playing the game.
3. Style sheet
I will be going for a detailed background which gets effected by the players such as if
someone misses a power move it can destroy a building on the background. Or if there is a
floor, them jumping will make cracks on the floor to give it a bit more detail. There is no set
colourways or themes as I am going just make a detailed rural background with colourful
characters to make them stand out. My style is simple but it will look nice as the bright
characters will have a good contrast with the rural background.
