This proposal is for a game called "Super Star Bros" targeted at boys aged 16-19 who enjoy Star Wars and Mario games. The game will involve challenging levels where the player avoids obstacles like stormtroopers and spaceships. Research will include examining challenges in Super Mario Bros and Star Wars games to design unique levels. Sound effects will be modified using reverb to suit the space setting. Progress and skills from the year like animation and sound editing will be applied. The game and process will be evaluated based on suitability, strengths/weaknesses, and improvements for the future.

Proposal 1 Working Title: What is it called? Super Star Bros Audience: Who is your audience? My audience is boys aged 16-19 who like Star Wars and Mario Games. My game wouldn’t be suitable for younger people because it will involve some scenes that might be violent. It will be a C2DE game because some people can’t afford it. The use and gratification my game will use are enjoyment and entertainment. it will be more tense than relaxing because of the challenges it will have. The psychographics the game will involve are emulator, achiever, needs driven and type A because of the actions and challenges it will involve. 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? My game will appeal to the audience because it will have lots of challenges, which will be hard, but fun to do. Although it will be a pixel game, I will try to make look as modern as I can because most people this age like games to look new and a high quality. 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.) 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? I made an advergame in Photoshop and learned how to make a frame animation. I learned how to use premiere pro to edit videos and add music and sound effects, and I learnt how to make sounds/music sound different using the reverb tool. I will use the reverb tool to make the sound effects echo, with the game being set in space. This will make the sound effects more effective. What was your advergame and how will it have a direct impact upon your project? It was a game where two players played against each other. An Irn-Bru man and coca-cola man had to run through a disco room collect their cans and get to the finish. Whoever was first was the winner. If they ran into a bomb or were hit by an explosive, they died and had to start again. They had three lives to complete the game in. Project Concept (approx. 200 words) What is the concept for your project and what are you going to make? The game will have a Super Mario Bros and Star Wars theme where a character has to run from start to finish. There will be a number of paths they have to take to win. They will need to avoid storm troopers which will be shooting from anywhere on the level, and it needs to avoid flying vehicles (millennium falcon & spaceships). If these hit the character, they will die and need to restart the level. They will have 5 lives. If they lose all their lives, they will need to restart from the beginning if there is more than one level. What research will you need to conduct and how will it help you make your project/ I will look at both Super Mario Bros games to see what challenges they involve. I will try to make mine different to these so the games aren’t too alike. I will do the same when I look at Star Wars games as well. I will watch clips of the real star wars and Lego Star Wars films, and listen to the music and sound effects they use. I will make the sound effects I use sound effective, but different to what they use in the film so they don’t sound too similar.
Proposal 2 Evaluation (approx. 50 words) How do you plan to evaluate the work? I will write about what I did for my experiments and how they helped me to make the real game. I’ll write about what I did for my research and how that helped me to make the game. I will write about how I managed the time and whether I follow the schedule. I will write about the strengths and weaknesses of the game and if it’s suitable for the audience. Finally, I will write about what could be improved and what to do next time I make a game. 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?
