Own brief

I am going to make a 2d platform game that has some sort of maze inside of It. The genre am going to be using is sci fi with aspects of puzzle and maths to it I want my game to be mentally challenging and to push the minds of the users that play it. The artistic style I am going to be using is abstract as I am making the characters and I don’t want them to look like anything from real life.

Some of the other artistic styles aren’t compatible with 2d games for example cell shading which is used to make 3d characters look more cartoony which can be used on a 2d character but won’t look good at all. My target age range is people from the ages of 12 until 25 as these people can play video games and mostly have the mind capacity to navigate through puzzles,mazes and maths questions. Also this age range tend to enjoy sci fi related games more they also enjoy video games more and are most likely to play games on a daily basis for at least an hour. I want the puzzle part of the game to be something the player has to put together to solve a mystery i also want equations to be imputed into the game at some stage to continue. I want the game to have a reward system for example if you solve a maths problem you get a trophy or even if you pass a particularly hard level for the player to get a trophy or experience points. I also need to look into the text there is going to be in the game like the title or where it says what level you're on to be linked with the game or have some sort of sci fi aspect to it.

I Also have to look for inappropriate content as i want the pegi rating to be as low as possible to appeal to a wider variety of people so we can generate as much sales as possible if the age rating is 16 any one from the ages of 0 to 16 will not be able to play and that could be millions of possible sales.


client brief

I have to make a 2d platform game that's maze for my client. The genre for the game is sci fi with puzzle and maths parts of the game. I have to pick the artistic style and in my opinion the best artistic style for this type of game is cell shading as you can use some thing like photo realism on a 2d game. I wont be using more than 5 Mb to make the game as it doesn't require too much space as 3d games are normally larger I also have to create a 3 part story for the game.I also have to consider where i place objects or characters on the screen I want to use the rule of thirds which will make the game more aesthetically pleasing. There will not be any ethical issues with my game as all the characters are abstract which means they do not represent any thing from real life and i also cant be liable as my characters are abstract so i cant be showing anyone in a bad image.


I have to make sure my game is not too similar too any other games as there are copyright laws which means the exclusive and assignable legal right given to the originator for a fixed number of years to print, publish,perform, film or record literary,artistic, or musical material.

My target audience is teenagers especially students as they are most likely to play video games which makes them more likely to come across my game so I have to make sure they would be satisfied with the game.
