Game Overview The story is based on a man who was framed for killing an American solider which takes him on a journey through America and Ireland. The game setting will be set in the misty old country of Ireland with small villages and farms and you will also explore America mostly set in the north where you will begin your character’s journey. The environment will mostly have poor weather with little villages and farms to the big cities.

Purpose of My Research The purpose of my research was to find out if my game could stand a chance in the market with so many upcoming, popular games. I carried out my research to see what people want in a video game today by using questionnaires so I could get peoples’ opinions on my game.

Examples of Research Methods The primary research I carried out consisted of an interview and a questionnaire which some of my fellow classmates answered, as well as students from other groups. Secondary research can be found in things such as newspapers, reports and game reviews Self-generated research is research that a person by themselves will research this will consist of things such as interviews and questionnaire’s which I carried out.

Quantitative and Qualitative research Qualitative research consists of things such as group discussions which I have carried out with classmates and also is used to uncover opinions. I have also written my opinion on a favourite game of mine Grand Theft Auto 5 In my opinion My favourite game is grand theft auto 5 mainly for the storyline. Lots of the missions are very entertaining. Missions such as bury the hatchet are very entertaining. Missions such as this are the exact find of exciting missions I want in my game Quantitative research consists of things such as online surveys

My findings Most of my finding were collected through questionnaires and interviews My findings have helped me to understand what a person wants in a game. and what changes I can make to my own game to make it better ChMjTTcehQNg83Hl4sHwZMCSnBjjo/viewanalytics ChMjTTcehQNg83Hl4sHwZMCSnBjjo/viewanalytics

More findings When making my templates I found out different information on the audience especially what people like to see in a action adventure game which I am making. I have found out which types of games a developer will work on. Game developers such as rockstar and ubisoft will focus more on sandbox game which is the same thing I wish to do when making my game as these developers normally have a good idea of making an action adventure game

Analysis When conducting my research I found out a few different things by carrying out interviews and questionnaires such as how much a young person is willing to pay for a game. I now understand what price a game should be if you are young as younger people find it a struggle to get money Also asking people what aspects of a game they enjoy the most and what they enjoy doing when playing a game The most effective research method for me was the Quantitative Research as it was easy to understand by using things such as surveys

What I plan to do with my findings Now that I have my findings I plan to think about them and try and implant them in my game by reading through the responses I got on google forms and taking the information I received from the interviews I held The reason my finding impact the game production is because now that I have responses I can use them to see what I need to change Something that has changed from conducting my research is now that I have feedback and I can change something's that I didn’t do right

Strengths and weaknesses One of my strengths was carrying out the interviews and questionnaires One of my weaknesses were the observation as I really didn’t observe much in terms of gameplay
