game audience


Understanding Audience in Games: 

1)Audience is a group of people you make the game for. It can range from age, income, likes, dislikes. There are also audiences who enjoy different genres of games like horror or adventure games. Age plays a key role due to interest and behavioral patterns. A game for 16-year-olds would be full of action and a vast range of different mechanics to learn. Community engagement is when players themselves can add to the game themselves. A god example of this is Fortnite creative. Players can utilize this and create anything they want to in their own maps. And if the creator makes enough maps that are good, they can potentially get paid for it which is even more inspiration to create new maps. This can keep the game fresh while also adding variety. 

2)Demographics are things audiences such as age and gender. 

Psychographics are game preferences such as story, fps adventure, and more 

3)I will make the demographic for children. The show will consist of bright harmless colors such as blue, pink, and yellow. This is due to children tend to have a higher attention span to brighter colors and dark more gothic colors can be scary for them and will not be as visually appealing for them 

4)The psychographic show could be about an innocent cute animal like a sloth. And each episode could be about the different adventures he has with his friends. Each episode will have a little hurdle in them like a friend moving away or having to clean their room. Then later in the episode they will overcome the hurdle through advice from their parents or somebody close like a grandparent or an uncle. The episodes will be around 8 minutes due to the attention span of a child not being exceptionally long. 

5)Target Audience for an Instagram post: 

Will be a gothic/horror film. 

The letters will be a bold red color in a narrow font to simulate a more horror sort of word. The pictures will be black, grey and a little white. These are classic colors for these types of films. The idea is to instantly show the viewer that this will be a horror film. It shows them what to expect from the film and will also attract an audience who enjoys horror films instead of people who do not.
