As of right now I know the game that I want to make, however I have no idea what it will end up looking like in the end.
I'm working on creating a product statement and defining my potential users so I can design my game accordingly.
I'm not sure if I want to share the exact nature of the game I am creating so I may black out certain details CIA style; if you see this: "&&&&&&&&" it means that that information would betray too much about the game and is to remain hidden.
So any way here is what I have as of this moment for the product statement and user profiles:
Name: Martian &&&&&&&&product statement: A facebook saavy futuristic &&&&&&&& remake with a sense of humor for retro game fans.
primary users:
- has played &&&&&&&& before
- likes games
- looking for an immersive experience, not just a quick distraction,
- wants to be entertained and challenged, but not too challenged, you shouldn't die unless you really try to screw up
- has nostalgia for old gaming conventions
- does not want to drown in story
- willing to spend a few dollars on a "known" fun game.
- doesn't like standard console controls ported to the iphone
So that is it so far, and that is it for my first post hopefully I will be updating this regularly, but don't expect really detailed posts because I'm a slow typer and I want to spend my time designing and coding and not blogging, but don't worry I still love you guys. ;)
