I chose an example game to show that I could understand what I was talking about and that I understood how to analyse a game before creating my own.
Street fighter V
Street fighter V is all about fighting other characters from around the world all which look incredibly stereotypical which fight in different ways. A certain man wants to get revenge, the guy looks like a Frankenstein wants to fight what seems like the antagonist. This then ends up to two teams of characters, one set which looks positive and the other working with the antagonist which all look negative like two opposites. Next we see an incredibly malevolent being going berserk fighting against a martial artists wearing white which looks alike yin and yang.
The AIMS of the game is to beat the other characters and prove that you are the greatest fighter there is in the world. The only rewards that you get the game you get rewarded with an announcement saying that you won and you can rank up yourself to prove how good you are at the game.
Other existing games are games like Tekken which is all about martial artist’s fighting against each other and at face value it just seems to be about becoming stronger but just like street fighter V it has more depth to it. There are other games such as Dragonball Xenoverse 2 where you travel through time fighting against the biggest enemies to exist and you get rewarded with money/points where you can buy new skills to customise yourself.
The atmosphere of the game starts out looking like a game just about average martial artists fighting to be the best but then it becomes a lot darker and gives the feeling of life and death battles.
Target Audience
The ideal target audience is males from the age of 16-25 in my own opinion. I chose this demographic because that how I see this game going on from the style to the characters. The reason I chose males is because that’s how the demographic of fighting games usually are and it looks like they acknowledge that fact because they bring in woman in who emphasize their body by wearing skin tight suits.
Netherworld Beasts
Upon an artificial island city with a population of 3000 but now all the 3000 have disappeared and anyone who has gone inside the city limits have no longer returned. You are a military scientist named Dr Orpheus and along with a squad from the UCC (Unidentified Creature Corps) have went on a research mission to an artificial island city whose inhabitants have mysteriously disappeared, everyone who has went to this city has no longer come back so the military designated it a no go zone until it has been checked out. Once you get to then island you see destroyed buildings on the outside there are destroyed buildings with smashed glass on the floor, claw marks on the walls and parts of the wall where a great impact has hit it. As you progress further in the city you see creatures of unknown origins and you discover the hidden truth to the destruction of this once massive city, will you live or die as you travel deeper and deer per into the beasts den.
As you aim to find out what happened and fight to survive throughout the game you will discover who the real monster in this terrible world is. You will be only rewarded with your own survival as you travel as far as you can in the dark desolate land where everything that you see wants to slaughter you.
While games similar to this one such as Resident Evil 7 has you following along a linear storyline this game will have you using a butterfly effect changing your fate as you persevere as hard as you can, in this game you only have a very limited amount of ammo so to survive you must craft and use your environment to help you survive against the odds.
The atmosphere will start lightly but get progressively darker as you find what a monster truly is and what lines you will have to cross to survive, will you become e a monster to survive the onslaught of monsters?
Target Audience
The ideal Target audience for the game will be late teens to the late twenties/early thirties and they would also most likely be a male demographic game. I say this because of the style of game, it will include monsters which is more favoured by men, and the game will also include gore and other things to give it a more mature theme.
