2. Audience Profile
Most of my target audience will be in c2 to c1in
terms of class, ages around 10-15. I think both
genders will be able to enjoy this game since
its pretty simple and enjoyable
3. Because my game doesn't include many character I
don't think it will be hard to create distinct
character designs. My character will be
differentiated by having different colour clothes,
hairstyles and jewellery (chain)
I decided that I want the style of my
game to be urban, since it ties in with
hip hop. And so I researched on the
internet graffiti hip hop art and came
across this graffiti pieces. The colours
where really bold and bright, just what
I need for my game. So I put it into
adobe colour and got all these shades
that I hope to use in my game
this is a good colour
scheme for my hip hop
dance game. It set the
tone with the bright and
bold colours, as they
associate with energy
4. I want my font to tie in with the game,
hip hop is associated with graffiti.
Need to be bold colours
I quite like this font as it has the
graffiti paint dripping.
8. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
spill water on computer and break it If I drink water, make sure to put it right back
into my bag as soon as I've used it. This will
make sure that there is no way the water can
accidently spill on my computer
computer freezes work on my project on another computer.
I lose my memory stick make sure to back up files on my laptop and my
computer
I lose some of my animation I will have to spend lunch trying to animate
them again. If I can I will find ways to use other
animations I've made to make the one I lost
I feel sick and miss a day When you come back spend lunchtime trying to
catch up on what you missed on.
I change my idea this will mean a lot of extra work. I will have to
spend time out of college to work on updating
power points
9. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
head ache make sure to eat a proper lunch on breaks. If
my eyes stat to strain, maybe plan for a bit,
draw out ideas etc.
Spill drink on computer keep drink in bag , if you need a drink, drink
away from the computer
stress on deadlines take breaks and split the work up into sections
to make it easier. or talk to someone about the
stress
dizziness sit away from the computer for a bit ,drink
some water or get some fresh air
fall over make sure bags are under tables and that
nothing that could be a tripping hazard are on
the floor.
