This proposal is for a satirical point-and-click video game about natural disasters caused by human stupidity. The target audience is males aged 16 and older from lower and middle socioeconomic classes interested in current events. Research will include analyzing news on the Australian bushfires and critically acclaimed games in the same genre. The game will allow the player to control how a person destroys the world through man-made disasters, commenting on events like the Australian bushfires being blamed on nature rather than human factors. Progress will be evaluated through ongoing self-reflections and feedback from peers to improve skills in visual design, audio, and storytelling for future media projects.

Working Title:
What is it called? This can change if you think of something better later
Yu Dun Now.
Audience:
Who is your audience? Be very detailed; age, gender, social status, psychographic etc. Use the
Audience Classifications PowerPoint on Blackboard to help you develop this section.
Why would your project appeal to this person? Discuss each audience element in relation to
content (why would your product appeal to the age group? Why would your product appeal to the
gender? Etc.)
My target audience is predominantly males who are 16 and over who are in the lower/ middle
class. People who are also into what is happening in world and take notice of it would also be
people who I would want to attract with this project. This is because this project comments and
shows what is happening politically and what could happen if the government in many countries
did not pay attention. Especially at this time, Australia. Which is the first level of the game to show
the most importance even though it will be done in an satirical way.
Rationale (approx. 100 words)
Review your progress throughout the year- what video game and Photoshop skills and knowledge
have you acquired? How will you use those skills?
What was your advergame and how will it have a direct impact upon your project?
Through the year, I have done a lot in the way of being able to put new skills into this project such
as my new Photoshop skills that’s I can use to make my final project more visually appealing to
audiences and help make the whole project have a better overall look. I have also had the chance
to learn more in the way of audio to help make the audio for the whole project work and flow well
with what is visually being shown. With these skills, I will be able to make my final project better
than if I didn’t posses these skills.
Project Concept (approx. 200 words)
What is the concept for your project and what are you going to make?
What research will you need to conduct and how will it help you make your project/
For my project, I am going to make a point and click game about natural disasters which have
been said to destroy the world but instead of them being entirely natural, humans cause them in
stupid ways, the player will control what the person does to destroy the world and how they’d do it.
I am using this to comment on current events such as the bushfires in Australia at this moment in
time and how even though the problem is a man-made disaster, the government is saying it’s not
their fault, nothing could be done and it was natural, I will use this game to bring a satirical twist on
this problem. Research for this project will include looking at news on the current situation on
Australia and what is currently happening. Also looking at previous, critically acclaimed games of
the same genre and what they did well to make such a successful and great game.
Evaluation (approx. 50 words)
How do you plan to evaluate the work? Reference conducting on-going evaluation (Production
Reflections) and your final self-reflection (Evaluation), analysing your work and its outcomes.
How will this process help developing your working practices as you continue with your
study/media career?
I will evaluate my work against each other to see what skills I have used and new ones I’ve learnt
in my work from when I started this course to my most recent piece of work. I will also ask my
peers to assess my work after each piece and see what they think and see if the criticism I have
been given has been worked on or not.
