This document describes a game release timer app that would allow gamers to track upcoming game releases and get notified of release dates. The app would obtain release information from game developers and retailers. It would allow users to create wish lists of anticipated games, search for games, and compare prices across stores. Feedback from initial users was positive about the app design. The developers outline how the app would work and what data they would need from game creators and shops to populate the app. They also discuss monetization options like advertisements and in-app purchases to offset the cost of making the app free to users.

1. Game Release Timer

2. Who: Gamers or parents
What: Gamers who want the new game or
parents who want to buy the game for their
kids.
When: Any time
Where: Anywhere
Why: Missed the date that it came out, Game
be sold out

3. Imagine this, You are waiting for a new
game that’s coming out soon but you
don’t know when and your friend's
know but the wont tell you . You want
to find out so you know when to queue
up outside of the shop to wait for them
to open the doors to get the game.

4. How can we get info on soon to be released games?

5. We will get our information buy contacting
the game makers e.g. Rockstar, Treyarch, EA,
Atari, Nintendo, POLYPHONY DIGITAL and
etc. Also we would contact game selling
shops, BIG and SMALL. So the small shops
will maybe get bigger. Our app will also have
the feature to compare games and prices ,
which will give smaller shops a chance to
grow like we said.

6. Mini Elevator Pitch

7. Our users are quite happy with the design of our app.

8. We currently don't have any competitors so our app is unique

10. [Flow of app & user feedback integrated]
This is a flow chart on how the app will work

11. You need to click on the platform you want to use. Then the next
screen is your home page where you can look through your
games you have put on your wish list. By clicking on the Search
icon you get put through to the next screen where you can search
for games you want to add to your wish list.
Platform Page Home Page Search Page Search Page

12. Side Page Game Page
Game Page (when
clicked “Add to Wish
List).

13. Feasibility
Data
We what need to get the data from the creators of the
game in question. If they weren’t going to give us the data
we what have to not put the game onto the app. We would
need to get prices for different shops.
Content
We would need to get covers of the game for the home
page.
Technical
We would have to do lots of updates to put the new games
on, but that wouldn’t be to hard.

14. We have had some several pledges, and here is one of them,

15. We have made our app free so we will lose a bit of
money with that but we will have advertisements
and in app purchases and that will give us back
money making the app overall cheap.
