Analysis on Chosen
Demographic
My chosen demographic or target audience is 16+ teenagers. The
interests of teenagers within the 16+ age range varies quite a bit which makes
this difficult. However, most teenagers enjoy horror games such as
Amnesia, Alien Isolation and the FNAF series (Five Nights At Freddy's). So that therefore shall be the theme/genre of my game,
horror.
Why play horror-themed video games? Acording to http://www.iflscience.com/technology/how-horror-games-give-us-fright-we-re-looking: They provide a means to indulge in the pleasure of frightening ourselves. Freakish, monstrous characters programmed to challenge and destroy the player, which gratifies the fear-induced thrill-seeking that drives gamers to immerse themselves in such virtual worlds.
Acording to http://www.pewinternet.org/2008/09/16/teens-video-games-and-civics/: 99% of boys and 94% of girls play video games. However younger teen boys are the most likely to play games than girls. Older girls are the least “enthusiastic” players of video games, some 65% of daily gamers are male; 35% are female.
A large majority of horror games have a Pegi rating of 18 or 18+, however game are not only rated on how scary they are but also the rest of the content. and horror games like Outlast and The Evil Within contain more then a few swear words. My game, being an educational game and being as acurate to the stories as possible, there won't be a lot of cuse words if any at all.
my game consitst of 3 different stories; Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and A Christmas Caral. I first learned of these stories from BBC Bitesize. here is the link, http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/subjects/zckw2hv.
