LO4 - Game Idea
Off The Rails
Our game concept is a game called 'Off The Rails'. It is an 8-bit game for mobile devices. It will be on both android and IOS devices. The game consists of 4-5 tracks and you have to get the train the furthest distance without crashing or destroying the train. Along the way we have Traps and obstacles to try and catch the player out. The player will have to swipe the screen either left or right to change tracks to try and dodge the obstacles. The player has a chance of collecting power ups to help them get through the game with a few seconds of invincibility. The player will see the game from above in a birds eye view. allowing them to see every track at once. Also on every track there is a set of lights which either display a red or a green colour. The red means that the track is bad and that you will lose if you go down it but a green will mean that the track is safe and you should go on this particular one.
Other games which follow the same basis would be;
- Temple run
- Subway Surfers
- Falling Fred
These games are endless running video games where we took inspiration for our game and made it different to them.
The target audience for our game would be anyone with a smart phone from the ages 10-40, they may also enjoy addicting game which lead to high scores thus giving people a chance to play against their friends and beat each others scores.

The challenges will consist of

LO1 - FIFA 16 Analysis
FIFA 16 is a sport game which also some features allow it to be a simulation/reality game. It is a football game where you play as different real life football teams with an aim to score goals and win. It replicates real life football, which is a sport so it links in with the sport genre. It compares with its rival Pro Evolution Soccer as they both follow the same concept.
While making the game the top flight teams around the world had their players faces scanned in to make their in game faces look realistic. Using body motion tracking they incorporated new techniques of playing and skills.
The characters in the game are all based around real people and they are scanned in for facial features and then they are made on the system as a game face. The player is also given the choice to create their own character in the career mode where you are able to fully customize your player all the way down to the shape of his nose. FIFA 16 brought a new capability of playing as a woman for different international women's teams. This opens up to more options than other FIFA games where you were only able to play as men.
The target audience for this game are fans of football in real life, thus not giving it a specific gender aim, with FIFA being a huge area for Youtuber's you can see that there are typically more male players but there is still a huge range of females playing the game. It is a PEGI 3 as there is no violence or bad language or gore, this opens up the game to have a larger market. Football is deemed as a family event and also young children are starting to play football for a team at younger ages, these children are a good market for FIFA to aim at as the children are brought up with football via family, also giving them the chance to play video games which is a big part of most peoples lives now a days but playing a video game of something they do personal gives them a connection.
There are many stories being told within the game with the different game modes, Career tells the story of you progressing the club as a manager over the years. Also not just the club but yourself as you can get sacked and move onto other clubs. Otherwise you can create a player career and you follow the story of your progress as a player, how you improve or become worse.
