Franchised
Franchised is when an idea is based around an already existing idea but
isnt exactly the same idea because the original idea isnt the same as
what someone else may have created. Such as the Assassins Creed series
as all the games play the same and have the same kind of character but
the story is different every time.
Market Research
My game Deadstroke has lots of similarities to the game Dishonored;
some of my ideas are based around Dishonored and how the gameplay
works and how the story worked. As the game does have killing in it I have
decided to give it a 16+ because I think that is about right as people
around 16 will understand what is going on in the story and will not

hopefully mind the killing and swearing that is going to be in the game.
Dishonored is a great game to base a new game of because it got a lot of
positive reviews, there isnt that many type of games like it and it won
loads of awards. I would say Deadstroke will be as violent as Dishonored.
Another similarities is that Dishonored and Deadstroke are for both
genders to play. Even better is newly released sequel Dishonored 2 where
you can choose to play as a man or a woman. Dishonored also has a lot of
characters in it which I will also be doing but my game is a lot more public
and recognised then Dishonored will be because all my actors in the game
are really well know such as Christian Bale, Gary Oldman and Margot
Robbie.
Core gamers are people that play games constantly and take playing
games seriously whereas Casual players dont play games often but
sometimes play for light entertainment. I would say my game is for Core
gamers as there is so much you could do that I think you would have to
play games a lot as you dont want to forget parts of the story as story is
the main part of the game as there is no multiplayer just like Dishonored.
Core gamers spend a great deal of their leisure time playing games, and if
they're not playing, they're reading magazines about games or surfing the
web for information on games which is good for finding out when new
games come out and they can also follow the games social media
account to get news updates about the game. Whereas the casual gamer
is not prepared to spend that much time or money on it. The casual gamer
wants to play games the same way they watch TV or read a book. They
dont want games to consume their life; they want them to entertain them
for a while. I think my game can be played by both casual and core
gamers but I think core gamers will enjoy it more because they play it
regularly they can get invested in the story and the game entirely.

Platform
Desktop PC have had recent advancement in technology computer brands
such as alienware have been able to produce computers tailored to
gaming. Gaming computers range with the way they are sold and the
games they can play. Many gaming computers are sold as a unit meaning
everything coming together, just like how you would buy a normal
desktop, however some users, users that are familiar with the technology
used build their own computers tailored to the specifications they would
like for their computers.
Consoles have been around for years and a video game console is a
device that outputs a video signal or visual image to display a video
game. Gaming consoles have been made by different companies and each
one has a slightest difference of an experience when playing, with that
said a different controlling system, different games and a different way of
communicating.
Mobile games are usually downloaded at app stores as well as via the
mobile operator's network, but in some cases are also embedded in the
handheld devices by the OEM or by the mobile operator when purchased,
via infrared connection, Bluetooth, memory card or side loaded onto the
handset with a cable.

Gaming there are two types of games that are suitable when the first term
TV game can be used to refer to any number of self-contained, portable
game systems operating on either batteries or an electronic power
supply which plugs directly into a TV or VCR.
Online gaming requires the least attention and is played massively and
online games are a game which is on the internet, World Wide Web
platform. The games played really range massively, some need an
account to access games; Games such as Club Penguin which is for kids. If
you swear in the game you can get suspended for a few days also so that
nobody else who comes online has to deal with the swearing especially if
they are kids.
Genre
Robert Eastwood
Sport games are videos games that simulate different sport games. An
example of a sport game is the FIFA game series and the NBA game
series. There are loads of football games around such as Football Manager
which is a lot different to FIFA as Football Manager is where you watch the
game instead of playing it. PES is a lot more like FIFA but is made by
different companies but FIFA is more popular and is one of the most
popular games in the history of video games because of how popular
football is around the world. It is also popular because it has loads of
different things you can do on it such
as Ultimate team which is online and
there is career mode which is single
player plus so much more.

Role-playing games(RPG) are games where the gamer assumes the roles
of characters in a fictional setting such as Skyrim. Gamers take
responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through
literal acting or through a process of structured decision-making or
character development. Single player role-playing video games form a
Robert Eastwood
loosely defined genre of computer and console games with origins in roleplaying games such as Dungeons & Dragons. Online text-based roleplaying games involve many players using some type of text-based
interface and an Internet connection to play an RPG. Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) combine the large-scale
social interaction and persistent world of MUDs with graphic interfaces.
Most MMORPGs do not actively promote in-character role-playing,
however players can use the games' communication functions to role-play
so long as other players cooperate. An example is Fallout 4 which is made
by the same people as
Skyrim; Bethesda make
mainly role-playing
games and they are
always good.
Time management
games are a subgenre of
strategy video game
focused around fast real
time allocation of
resources in a
consequent order to fulfil the level objectives. The player must react to
the incoming requests that occur as they play and serve them in the most
effective manner to get the greatest possible reward. They are usually
limited in time, and their resources limit the speed at which they can
serve the requests. As a game progresses, the player usually has a
possibility to upgrade their available resources by spending the earned
rewards. A typical setting for a time management game puts a player in a
position of some kind of service worker. Some examples are waiter or cook
in a restaurant, airport dispatcher, office manager. There are games with
different settings.
