The questions that I have chosen for my clients game is what I thought that really mattered if to create a game. Creating a game for another person you are going to need to follow specifications of what they are wanting and the limitations. The questions that helped me get my idea for “Blast Gun” were the type of the game cause shooter and the aim of the game was wasting time. That’s when I got the idea like an arcade game since at arcades it’s the same idea to waste time. My question was with target market since I discussed that we won’t be using a proper program to make 3d games but only 2D, I was told to make a top down shooter by my client.

Initial Proposal

“Blast Gun, the game that you can play to waste time away!”

Blast Guns genre is a Top down Shooter game that is planned for just wasting time since not every game needs an ending or a point to finishing it. My target audience is towards 16 years and over. The main point of the game is for people who don’t have anything to do or need to pass time. Graphics are cartoonish since realistic physiques would be time consuming and would need a lot of detail and time put into the game creation which is difficult as I have no experience in Construct. The game won’t be too realistic since it’s like the old top shooter games in arcades but cartoonish mixed with pixel. Physics won’t matter since it’s not fully realistic and the player won’t be focusing on the physics but more of the game itself. The movement in the game, since it’s a top down shooter view, will be from the viewpoint of the players head so movement will be and require you to left click to shoot. The battles are going to get harder and harder each level so the game will become more challenging and fun. The colours are to be not too bright which is what my client requested and I would agree since there would be a lot going on in the background so bright colours could be very distracting. This is a game which would be violent but not too violent with a lot of gore. The sprites which are the AI enemies would be getting faster after every round so there is lot of hand and eye coordination happening which you would improve by playing Blast Gun. The sounds will be background music with light sound effects for shooting. The sound effects will be mild since even though this game is for 16 years and over, any younger children could still hear gory sounds. There will be appropriate effect/sounds with louder music over the top of the sound effects. There is no real story to Blast Gun since it’s a game where you just click and play. Some people, like me personally, find it annoying to wait for a story every time I open the game. In conclusion Blast Gun will be an enjoyable game to play in your spare time and just trying to beat your older score or your friend’s high scores. I think my client’s idea is something that I could fully agree with about the whole design, graphical aspect and sounds are perfect since my client has experience in gaming.
