1. Cloud Hop

2. Cloud Hop
• The name I have chosen for my video game is ‘cloud hop’.
• The type of product I have created is a pixelated video
game, which was created on Photoshop. The platform I
brought my game out on is PC.
• The genre of game I have created is an 8 bit side stroller
game. I have chosen to create a side stroller this is because
I have more experience on creating this style of game.
• The aim of my video game is, from the start the player
needs to walk around each level and try get the the finish.
The finish is the flag and once you have reached it you have
completed the level.

3. Artwork
This is the main character the player
controls when playing the game. This
is the character you will be using all
the way through the game when you
are completing each level.

4. Art Work
This is a view of one of the
levels. The background colour
is blue because the game is
set in the sky as it is called
‘cloud hop’ and it is about
being in the clouds.

5. Artwork
This is a screenshot of some of
the gameplay. It shows the
character at the starting point of
the level. This screenshot also
shows a coin which are collectable
throughout the game. The hearts
at the top are lives, every time the
player falls they lose a life and if
they lose all their lives it is ‘Game
Over’ and they have to start
again.

6. Artwork
This is a screenshot of the
game start Menu. I have
chosen a blue background so it
suits the theme of the game. I
added the game logo at the
top in a faint coloured font as
it is supposed to look like
clouds.

7. Artwork
This is the loading screen for
the game. This will appear
when you first start the game
up and you are waiting for it to
load.
I have made it so the character
walks across the screen when
the game is loading. I have also
made it so each letter of the
word ‘loading’ highlights in red
when the character is walking
across the screen.

8. Art Work
This is my app design for my game. I have
simply chosen a blue background like I
have used a lot in the game. I added the
video game logo over clouds as it is very
relevant.
For the logo I just used the
title of the game and
made it a darker blue and
added a gradient so it
gives it a more cloudy
look.

9. Art Work
This is the game box for my video
game. I added the game logo to
the front of the box with some
images of clouds. I have the age
rating to the bottom left of the
box which says “7”. I have put
images of screenshots of the
character and also the game play
on the back of the box along with
a little introduction to the game.

10. Audience Research

11. Audience Profile
The target audience for my video game is Children, Teenagers and Adults. I have made
my game so it is a 7+ rating. The reason I have chosen a 7+ rating is because the
audience I am aiming for are most ages which are both male and female. My game is
in the same style as Mario, people who are fans of super Mario are very likely to enjoy
my game as cloud hop and super Mario are very similar.

12. Summary

13. Final Summary
People should buy my game because it is very simple and easy to understand, so it is
suitable for nearly all ages. Also it is very simple to the game ‘Super Mario Bro’s’ which
is very popular, so I believe it can be easily enjoyed by a wide range of different
people.
