The document proposes a Christmas-themed pixel video game called "Pixel Christmas Video game." The game would entertain people of all ages by including recognizable Christmas characters like Santa and reindeer. It would appeal to both male and female audiences ages 3 and up. Research was conducted on color schemes and characters used in similar games to help design the proposed game. The game aims to not include any offensive, unethical, or copyrighted content by changing elements like Santa's color to make the game suitable and legal for all audiences.

Working Title:
Pixel Christmas Video game.
Product’s Purpose:
The product is a game and it is used to entertain people that are playing it and create interest in
pixel games.
Genre:
The genre of the game is Christmas themed so it will interest many people of many ages. It will
include Christmassy characters, background and features.
Content
My game is based on Christmas, so it is going to include Christmas characters such as Santa. The
story of the game is based on Christmas eve as it is based from that by Santa delivering the
presents. I am going to put in Christmassy features to suggest straight away what the game is
about as soon as you see it. Presents, Santa, Reindeers and houses will be seen throughout my
game as they represent Christmas the most.
Audience:
My audience is from the age 3 and up as it will suit any ages from the starting age of 3. The
primary audience is more females as it is Christmas themed I feel that the theme will suit them
more, the secondary audience is males as it will also appeal to them as Christmas is for everyone.
My game will suit any social status as it is enjoyable for everyone.
My game will appeal to my target audience as everyone loves Christmas and it is fun for all ages
and will appeal to everyone to play.
Research and Planning:
Research and planning is useful as you can get an idea of different things you want to include
throughout your game, from the planning and research I have done I am able to see what colour
scheme is mainly used on games similar to mine and what characters are good to use to show the
theme of the game.
I will use some ideas from the research and planning as it helps to see and make your project look
better. I can use the colour scheme and characters from the research and also use some of my
initial plans and use ideas from there and use them throughout my game.
Legal & Ethical Considerations:
Think about any offensive material you will include?
I will not include anything offensive throughout my game as it needs to be suitable for young ages.
Will you restrict younger people using/accessing it?
No it is aimed most at children so it will not be restricted for any age.
Will it offend any social groups/religions/ethnicities?
Nothing on my game will offend anyone as it needs to be suitable for everyone.
How will you ensure you do not offend anyone?
I will not include any offensive material as I do not want my game to upset anyone I would like it to
be entertaining and enjoyable for everyone.
Are you using characters/names/logos of existing products/IPs?
My characters are Christmassy, it includes Santa and Reindeers these are existing products but I
will make them look more original to make it more of my idea.
Will you product be sufficiently different from existing products to not get sued for
copyright infringement?
As Santa is red and Coca Cola has the colour red, I am going to change the colour of Santa to
green which was the original colour of Santa. By changing the colour of this it is stopping me from
copyright
