who might play the game and what platform they will play it on? Teenagers might play the game as it involves crime, solving crime, staying on the good side of the law and maintaining all rules given. The game is most likely to be played on PS3 or xbox 360. The name of the game is 'RAGING CRIMINALS' this name comes from the idea of out of control criminals who need to be put down and made sure they stay out of trouble. How will you stimulate audience desire to buy the game?

To make the audience to desire to buy the game it needs to have a good name that screams violence, terror for the target audience and needs to be advertised in a way that makes you want to buy the game eg: using bill boards which are big that makes it eye catching.
How will you create marketing materials that attract audience attention to the game?
Marketing materials such as advertising would attract the audiences attention because they would see it on television or online. The target audience who are teenagers tells me that they spend a lot of time on the internet. Therefore there should be advertising on the internet so that they would easily see it and want to buy it to see what it is like.

How will you generate audience interest?

The graphics play an important role in this because that is what will amaze the gamers and get them into it by appearance. On the other hand the story line and the main narrative needs to be very interesting to make sure that they do not get bored and are extremely into it instead exactly like they are the actual characters.

How will you promote audience action?

I will promote audience action by showing some game play to the gamers to show them what its like and how much action is involved.
